My heart lightened gloriously
As the rising sun struck the world to fire
The shadow had at last been rolled back
And I fell away with emotion close to tears
Yes, the torment was ended
The people scattered over the country
Desperate, leaderless, starved ...
The thousands who had fled by sea
Including the one most dear to me - all would return
The pulse of life, growing stronger and stronger, would beat again
As life returns to normal
And man is again supreme
The question of another attack from Mars
Causes universal concern Is our planet safe
Or is this time of peace merely a reprieve?
It may be that, across the immensity of space
They have learned their lessons
And even now await the opportunity
Perhaps the future belongs not to us
But to the Martians?
As the rising sun struck the world to fire
The shadow had at last been rolled back
And I fell away with emotion close to tears
Yes, the torment was ended
The people scattered over the country
Desperate, leaderless, starved ...
The thousands who had fled by sea
Including the one most dear to me - all would return
The pulse of life, growing stronger and stronger, would beat again
As life returns to normal
And man is again supreme
The question of another attack from Mars
Causes universal concern Is our planet safe
Or is this time of peace merely a reprieve?
It may be that, across the immensity of space
They have learned their lessons
And even now await the opportunity
Perhaps the future belongs not to us
But to the Martians?
