The parson's eyes flickered open.
He was alive!
Nathaniel, I saw the church burst into flame, are you all right?
Don't touch me!
But it's me, Beth! Your wife!
No! You're one of them, a devil!
- He's delirious! - Lies! I saw the devil's sign!
- What are you saying? - The green flash in the sky.
His demons were here all along, in our hearts and souls,
just waiting for a sign from him. And now they're destroying our world!
But they're not devils, they're Martians.
We must leave here.
Look, Nathaniel, a house still standing,
come, quickly.
We took shelter in a cottage, and black smoke spread, hemming us in.
Then a fighting machine came across the field spraying jets of steam
that turned the smoke into thick, black dust.

People loved you, and trusted you, came to you for help...
Didn't I warn them this would happen?
Be on your guard, I said,
for the Evil One never rests...
I said, "Exorcise the devil!"
But no, they wouldn't listen,
the demons inside them grew and grew,
until Satan gave his signal and destroyed the world we knew!
♪ No Nathaniel, oh no Nathaniel, ♪
Dear God! A cylinder's landed on the house,
and we are underneath it, in the pit!
The Martians spent the night making a new machine.
It was a squat, metallic spider with huge, articulated claws,
but it, too, had a hood in which a Martian sat.
I watched it pursuing some people across a field.
It caught them nimbly and tossed them
into a great metal basket upon its back.
Beth? She's dead!
Buried under the rubble.
WHY!?!
Satan! Why did you take one of your own?

As time passed in our dark and dusty prison,
the parson wrestled endlessly with his doubts.
His outcries invited death for us both, and yet I pitied him.
