Lyrics:

Journalist There Were A Dozen Dead Bodies In The Euston Road, Their Bodies Softened By The Black Dust. All Was Still, Houses Locked And Empty, Shops Closed But Looters Had Helped Themselves To Wine And Food, And Outside A Jewellers Some Gold Chains And A Watch Were Scattered On The Pavement.
martians Ulla!
journalist I Stopped, Staring Toward To Sound. It Seemed As If That Mighty Desert Of House Had Found A Voice For Its Fear And Solitude.
martians Ulla!
journalist The Desolating Cry Worked Upon My Mind. The Wailing Took Possession Of Me. I Was Intensely Weary, Footsore, Hungry And Thirsty. Why Was I Wandering Alone In This City Of The Dead Why Was I Alive, When London In State In Its Black Shroud I Felt Intolerably Lonely, Drifting From Street To Empty Street, Drawn Inexorably Towards That Cry.
martians Ulla!
journalist I Saw, Over The Trees On Primrose Hill, The Fighting Machine From Which The Howling Came. I Crossed Regents Canal. There Stood A Second Machine, Upright, But As Still As The First.
martians Ulla! Ul-!
journalist Abruptly, The Sound Ceased. Suddenly, The Desolation, The Solitude, Became Unendurable. While That Voice Sounded, London Had Still Seemed Alive. Now, Suddenly, There Was A Change, The Passing Of Something And All That Remained Was This Gaunt Quite.

i Looked Up And Saw A Third Machine. It Was Erect And Motionless, Like The Others. An Inane Resolve Possessed Me. I Would Give My Life To The Martians, Here And Now. I Marched Recklessly Towards The Titan And Saw A Multitude Of Black Birds Was Circling And Clustering About The Hood. I Began Running Along The Road, I Felt No Fear, Only A Wild Trembling Exultation, As I Ran Up The Hill Towards The Motionless Monster. Out Of The Hood Hung Red Shreds, At Which The Hungry Birds Now Pecked And Tore.

i Scrambled Up To The Crest Of Primrose Hill, And The Martians Camp Was Below Me. A Mighty Space It Was, And Scattered About It, In Their Overturned Machines, Were The Martians - Dead... Slain, After All Man's Devices Had Failed, By The Humblest Things Upon The Earth, Bacteria. Minute, Invisible Bacteria!

directly The Invaders Arrived And Drank And Fed, Our Microscopic Allies Attacked Them. From That Moment They Were Doomed!
