Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There were ships of shapes and sizes
Scattered out along the bay
And I thought I heard her calling
As the steamer pulled away
The Invaders must have seen them
As across the coast they filed
Standing firm between them
There lay Thunder Child
[Verse 2]
Moving swiftly through the waters
Cannons blazing as she came
Brought a mighty metal war-lord
Crashing down in sheets of flame
[Verse 3]
Sensing victory was nearing
Thinking fortune must have smiled
People started cheering
Come on, Thunder Child
Come on, Thunder Child
[Verse 4]
Lashing ropes and smashing timbers
Flashing heat rays pierced the deck
Dashing hopes for our deliverance
As we watched the sinking wreck
[Verse 5]
With the smoke of battle clearing
Over graves in waves defiled
Slowly disappearing
Farewell, Thunder Child
[Verse 6]
Slowly disappearing
Farewell, Thunder Child
Farewell, Thunder Child
Farewell, Thunder Child
Written by: Gary Osborne, Jeff Wayne
