lirik lagu horsell common and the heat ray – wayne jeff
journalist: next morning a crowd gathered on the common, hypnotized by the unscr-w-ng of the cylinder. two feet of shining screw projected when suddenly, the lid fell off.
two luminous, disk-like eyes appeared above the rim. a huge rounded bulk, larger than a bear, rose up slowly, glistening like wet leather. it’s lipless mouth quivered and slathered and snakelike tentacles writhed as the clumsy body heaved and pulsated.
a few young men crept closer to the pit. a tall funnel rose and an invisible ray of heat leapt from man to man, and there was a bright glare as each was instantly turned to fire. every tree and bush became a m-ss of flames at the touch of this savage, unearthly heat ray.
people clawed their way off the common, and i ran too. i felt i was being toyed with, that when i was on the very verge of safety this mysterious death would leap after me and strike me down. at last i reached maybury hill, and in the dim coolness of my home i wrote an account for my newspaper before i sank into a restless, haunted sleep.
i awoke to alien sounds of hammering from the pit and hurried to the railway station to buy the paper.
around me, the daily routine of life, working eating, sleeping, was continuing serenely as it had for countless years.
on horsell common, the martians continued hammering and stirring, sleepless, indefatigable, at work on the machines they were making. now and again a light like the beam of a warship’s searchlight swept the common, and the heat ray was ready to follow.
in the afternoon, a company of soldiers came through and deployed along the edge of the common to form a cordon.
that evening, there was a violent crash and i realized with horror that my home was now within reach of the martian heat ray.
at dawn, a falling star with a trail of green mist landed with a flash like summer lightning. this was the second cylinder.
