jeff wayne - the spirit of man (2012) كلمات الأغنية

[journalist]:
i suddenly noticed the body of a parson lying on the ground in a ruined churchyard. i felt unable to leave him to the mercy of the red week, and decided to bury him, decently

[beth]:
nathaniel! nathaniel!

[journalist]:
the parson’s eyes fl!ckered open. he was alive!

[beth]:
nathaniel, i saw the church burst into flame, are you all right?

[parson nathaniel]:
don’t touch me!

[beth]:
but it’s me, beth! your wife!

[parson nathaniel]:
no! you’re one of them_ a devil!

[beth]:
he’s delirious!

[parson nathaniel]:
lies! i saw the devil’s sign!

[beth]:
what are you saying?

[parson nathaniel]:
the green flash in the sky. his demons were here all along, in our hearts and souls, just waiting for a sign from him. and now they’re destroying our world!

[beth]:
but they’re not devils, they’re martians

[parson nathaniel]:
we must leave here!

[beth]:
look, a house still standing, come nathaniel, quickly

[journalist]:
we took shelter in a cottage, and black smoke spread, hemming us in. then a fighting machine came across the field spraying jets of steam that turned the smoke into thick, black dust…

[martians]
ulla!

[beth]:
dear god, help us!

[parson nathaniel]:
the voice of the devil is heard in our land!

[parson 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?
in carnation 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

[parson 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 could 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…

[parson 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 his 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
(no) 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 were led
when the demons arrive the survivors will envy the dead!

[beth & parson nathaniel]:
there must be something worth living for
(no, there is nothing!)
there must be something worth trying for
(i don’t believe it’s so!)
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!

[parson 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!

[parson nathaniel]:
dear god! a cylinder’s landed on the house, and we are underneath it, in the pit!

[journalist]:
the martians spent the night making a new machine. it was a squat, metallic spider with huge, articulated claws, but it, too, had a hood in which a martian sat. i watched it pursuing some people across a field. it caught them nimbly and tossed them into a great metal basket upon its back

[parson nathaniel]:
beth! she’s dead! buried under the rubble. why?
satan! why did you take one of your own?

[parson nathaniel]:
there is a curse on mankind
we may as well be resigned
to let the devil, the devil take the spirit of man

[journalist]:
as time passed in our dark and dusty prison, the parson wrestled endlessly with his doubts. his outcries invited death for us both _ and yet, i pitied him…
