Horsell Common and the Heat Ray (Highlights Version) - Jeff Wayne/Liam Neeson

Next morning a crowd gathered on the common

Hypnotized by the unscrewing of the cylinder

Two feet of shining screw projected when suddenly the lid fell off

A few young men crept closer to the pit

A tall funnel rose then an invisible ray of heat leapt

From man to man and there was a bright glare

As each was instantly turned to to fire

Every tree and bush became a mass of flames at the touch of this savage

Unearthly heat ray

On horsell common the martians continued hammering and stirring sleepless indefatigable

At work upon the machines they were making

Now and again a light like the beam of a warship's searchlight

Swept the common and the heat ray was ready to follow

At down a falling star with a trail of green mist landed with

A flash like summer lightning this was the second cylinder
