Out of the ruins we were crawling The second strike really made us realize They had come from afar without warning Feeding off the deaths of you and I On the streets I was running from the fire I was heading for the River Thames Seeking shelter in the cooling water Out of sight for the aliens Heavy mothership hanging over like a shadow Sending evil down to seal our fate Great Big Ben, have you struck your final hour I was thinking this could be the end Dead London - burning down to the crust Dead London - raining ashes and dust In London Town - people on the ground Dead London - I was hoping not to be found Had to move without a sound It was the day we lost the crown Piccadilly silent in the morning No more sound from the tube at King's Cross I met survivors by the Waterloo Station We were joining forces to avenge our loss I was running with a gun in the backstreets When something came sliding fast from above Neon slime drizzling down from that long jawed creature As I fired my final round, it came crashing down And they were all around Dead London - in the war of the worlds Dead London - we were trapped and cursed In London Town - going underground Dead London - it was the day we lost the crown Now we're searching for the truth and information On why they came from far beyond the sun When looking back it seems a desperate operation To take the Earth and then decide to run Some say they came from a planet that was dying And they knew the life of you and I Like a movie I can still see them flying The inferno would illuminate the sky But they were doomed to slowly die Dead London - rising after the fall Dead London - rebuilding houses and halls In London Town - bringing back the sound of London We had taken back the crown We were lost and found in London Town (London Town) I see smiles abound
