Jeff Wayne, Richard Burton - The Artilleryman Returns lyrics
[Jeff Wayne, Richard Burton - The Artilleryman Returns lyrics]
Again, I was on my way to London, through
Towns and villages that were blackened ruins
Totally silent, desolate
Deserted man's empire had passed
Away, taken swiftly and without error
By these creatures who
Were composed entirely of brain
Unhampered by the
Complex systems which make up man
They made and
Used different bodies according to
Their needs they
Never tired, never slept and never suffered
Having long since eliminated from
Their planet the bacteria
Which cause all fevers and other morbidities
Towns and villages that were blackened ruins
Totally silent, desolate
Deserted man's empire had passed
Away, taken swiftly and without error
By these creatures who
Were composed entirely of brain
Unhampered by the
Complex systems which make up man
They made and
Used different bodies according to
Their needs they
Never tired, never slept and never suffered
Having long since eliminated from
Their planet the bacteria
Which cause all fevers and other morbidities
