Arriba   THE EVE OF WAR

The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said.
The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one. But still, they come!

The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said.
The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one. But still, they come!
Yes, the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, he said.
The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one. But still, they come!
 
Arriba   FOREVER AUTUMN

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old.
And darker days are drawing near.
The winter winds will be much colder.
Now you're not here.

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky.
And one by one they disappear.
I wish that I was flying with them.
Now you're not here.

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me.
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away.

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way.
You always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now.
'cause you're not here.
'cause you're not here.
'cause you're not here.

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me.
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away.

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes.
As if to hide a lonely tear.
My life will be forever autumn.
'cause you're not here.
'cause you're not here.
'cause you're not here.

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me.
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away.

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way.
You always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now.
'cause you're not here.
'cause you're not here.
'cause you're not here.
 
Arriba   THUNDER CHILD

There were ships of shapes and sizes,
Scattered out along the bay.
And I thought I heard her calling,
As the steamer pulled away.
The invaders must have seen them,
As across the coast they filed.
Standing firm between them,
There lay Thunder Child.

Moving swiftly through the waters,
Cannons blazing as she came.
Brought a mighty metal warlord,
Crashing down in sheets of flame.

Sensing victory was nearing,
Thinking fortune must have smiled.
People started cheering,
"Come on Thunder Child.
Come on Thunder Child!"

Lashing ropes and smashing timbers,
Flashing Heat Rays pierced the deck.
Dashing hopes for our deliverance,
As we watched the sinking wreck.

With the smoke of battle clearing,
Over graves in waves defiled.

Slowly disappearing,
Farewell Thunder Child!
Slowly disappearing,
Farewell Thunder Child!
Farewell Thunder Child!
Farewell Thunder...
Child, Child, Child, Child, Child!
  
Arriba   THE SPIRIT OF MAN

NATHANIEL
Listen do you hear them drawing near, in their search for the sinners?
Feeding on the power of our fear and the evil within us.

Incarnation of Satan's creation of all that we dread.
When the demons arrive those alive would be better off dead!

BETH
There must be something worth living for.
There must be something worth trying for.
Even some things worth dying for.
And if one man can stand tall,
There must be hope for us all.
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man.

NATHANIEL
Once there was a time when I believed,
Without hesitation,
That the power of love and truth could conquer all,
In the name of salvation.
Tell me what kind of weapon is love when it comes to the fight?
And just how much protection is truth against all Satan's might?
 
BETH
There must be something worth living for,
There must be something worth trying for,
Even some things worth dying for,
And if one man can stand tall,
There must be some hope for us all,
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man.

BETH
People loved you and trusted you, came to you for help.

NATHANIEL
Didn't I warn them this would happen?
Be on your guard, I said. For the evil one never rests.
I said exorcise the Devil. But no, they wouldn't listen.
The demons inside them grew and grew. Until Satan gave the signal. And
destroyed the world we knew.

BETH
No, Nathaniel.
Oh no Nathaniel.
No, Nathaniel, no,
There must be more to life.
There has to be a way that we can restore to life,
The love we used to know
Nathaniel, no.
There must be more to life.
There has to be a way that we can restore to life,
The light that we have lost.
Parson Nathaniel -
Now darkness has descended on our land,
And all your prayers cannot save us.
Like fools we've let the Devil take command of the souls that God gave us.
To the altar of evil like lambs to the slaughter we're led.
When the demons arrive, the survivors will envy the dead!

BETH
There must be something worth living for.

PARSON NATHANIEL
No there is nothing.

BETH
There must be something worth trying for.

PARSON NATHANIEL
I don't believe it's so.

BETH
Even some things worth dying for.
If just one man could stand tall,
There would be some hope for us all.
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man.

PARSON NATHANIEL
Forget about goodness and mercy, they're gone.

NATHANIEL
Didn't I warn them?
Pray I said.
Destroy the Devil, I said.
They wouldn't listen.
I could have saved the world.
But now it's too late - too late!

BETH
No, Nathaniel.
Oh no Nathaniel.
No, Nathaniel, no,
There must be more to life.
There has to be a way that we can restore to life,
The love we used to know
Nathaniel, no.
There must be more to life.
There has to be a way that we can restore to life,
The light that we have lost.

NATHANIEL
There is a curse on mankind.
We may as well be resigned.
To let the devil, the devil take the spirit of man.
  
Arriba   BRAVE NEW WORLD

Take a look around you at the world we've come to know.
Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show?
But maybe from the madness something beautiful will grow.
In a brave new world with just a handful of men,
We'll start, we'll start all over again, all over again,
All over again, all over again.

Now our domination of the earth is fading fast.
And out of the confusion the chance has come at last.
To build a better future from the ashes of the past.
In a brave new world with just a handful of men,
We'll start all over again.

Look, Man is born in freedom, but he soon became a slave.
In cages of convention, from the cradle to the grave.
The weak fall by the wayside, but the strong will be saved.
In a brave new world, with just a handful of men,
We'll start all over again.

I'm not trying to tell you what to be, oh no, oh no, not me.
But if mankind is to survive, the people left alive,
They're gonna have to build this world anew.
And it's going to have to start with me and you - yes!

I'm not trying to tell you what to be, oh no, oh no, not me.
But if mankind is to survive, the people left alive,
They're gonna have to build this world anew.
And it's going to have to start with me and you.

Just think of all the poverty, the hatred and the lies.
And imagine the destruction of all that you despise.
Slowly from the ashes the Phoenix will arise,
In a brave new world, with just a handful of men,
We'll start all over again.

Take a look around you at the world you've loved so well.
And bid the ageing empire of man at last farewell.
It may not sound like heaven, but at least it isn't hell.
It's a brave new world, with just a handful of men.
We'll start, we'll start all over again, all over again,
all over again, all over again.
I've got a plan!

Take a look around you at the world we've come to know.
Does it seem to be much more than a crazy circus show?
Maybe from the madness something beautiful will grow...
