Lyrics
There were a dozen dead bodies in the Euston road, their bodies softened by the black dust. All was still, houses locked and empty, shops closed but looters had helped themselves to wine and food, and outside a jewellers, some gold chains and a watch were scattered on the pavement..
Ulla!
I stopped, staring toward the sound. It seemed as if that mighty desert of house had found a voice for its fear and solitude...
Ulla!
The desolating cry worked upon my mind. The wailing took possession of me. I was intensely weary, footsore, hungry and thirsty. Why was I wandering alone in this city of the dead? Why was I alive, when London in state in its black shroud? I felt intolerably lonely, drifting from street to empty street, drawn inexorably towards that cry...
Ulla!
I saw, over the trees on Primrose hill, the fighting machine from which the howling came. I crossed Regents Canal. There stood a second machine, upright, but as still as the first
Ulla! Ul-!
Abruptly, the sound ceased. Suddenly, the desolation, the solitude, became unendurable. While that voice sounded, London had still seemed alive. Now, suddenly, there was a change, the passing of something and all that remained was this gaunt quiet
I looked up and saw a third machine. It was erect and motionless, like the others. An inane resolve possessed me. I would give my life to the Martians, here and now. I marched recklessly towards the titan and saw that a multitude of black birds was circling and clustering about the hood. I began running along the road, I felt no fear, only a wild trembling exultation, as I ran up the hill towards the motionless monster. Out of the hood hung red shreds, at which the hungry birds now pecked and tore
I scrambled up to the crest of Primrose Hill, and the Martians camp was below me. A mighty space it was, and scattered about it, in their overturned machines, were the Martians - dead... slain, after all man's devices had failed, by the humblest things upon the Earth: bacteria. Minute, invisible bacteria!
Directly the invaders arrived and drank and fed, our microscopic allies attacked them. From that moment they were doomed!

Same here mate. Been my favourite bit of the album since I was a kid (first listen to the album in 2005, must’ve been about 6 years old, we’d listened to it for a music class in school and wanting to hear the rest, I rushed home and immediately asked for it for my birthday that year XD), love the sound of those late 70s synthesisers. Proper atmospheric, all those wind sounds conveying the vibe of a desolate, ruinous London enrobed in smoke. I’m thinking of going to London for a city break this summer, you know, gonna dedicate on of the days to seeing the area around Regents Park which is the site of the final Martian encampment, and finally fulfil a dream of listening to Dead London walking on Primrose Hill. Can’t wait! 😆

It makes sense, sickness is a terrible way to die, perhaps not unwarranted but terrible nonetheless. It only gets worse if you go off the canon of the one rts game for their reason to invade. Their world could no longer sustain them, in desperation they came to earth to preserve their species. The transit was long, and the pods they rode in cramped, compounded with the pressure being charged to save their civilization. When they arrive, they are greeted with an uncomfortable atmosphere and the creatures they were charged to either exterminate or enslave, but feel some relief in finding they are well equipped for this task, and that whenever they succeed, they are treated to a feast, a rarity on their dying world and boding well for once the world is theirs. More land and join, bases are constructed as a grim harvest begins and for the first time in years, there is enough food to go around. A fitting reward to ensuring the survival of their species, if that alone is not enough. Now fast forward to this point and put yourself in one of those machines. Breathing, already uncomfortable, now becomes unbearable, interrupted as mucous chokes you and forces you to cough, further irritating your lungs. Your body’s futile attempts to battle whatever ails you causes your body to shift temperature drastically, leaving freezing one moment, and burning and dehydrated the next. Your vision blurs from pain, dehydration, and lack of rest. Your limbs cannot even reach the controls of your machine, once your throne from which you reigned over these animals, now a cramped prison, and soon, your coffin, until the humans move it, that is. Native creatures circle overhead, you note absentmindedly, reaching over yourself with what strength you have in a futile attempt to ease the pain. Your death will mean the death of your species, and worse yet, all the weapons and technology you had brought with you to perform your mission will be taken by the humans. The last remnants of your civilization will be subsumed and lost amongst to warring natives, used to murder one another in absence of a common enemy. As if to prove you right, despite your blurred vision, you see one draw closer, your brethren, delirious or feeling vulnerable, loose weak, warbling war cries, and the human draws closer, unafraid. Soon the humans will pick your machine clean for it’s secrets just as the creatures above will pick your body. The last hurrah of your entire civilization, a note in the history of another.

War of the worlds was in large parts a criticism of European colonialism, which was justified by "superior technology" and "superior culture". So in his work, H.G. Wells confronted British society with a more advanced society conquering their land. And like the British, for all their technology, weren't nearly as prepared to deal with malaria as native African peoples, the Martians were unaccustomed to the germs of earth.

TThe novel suggests that either Mars never had bacteria, or they were all eliminate dlong ago by Martian science. So long ago that the Martians had forgotten about them.

Normal bacteria? I don't think you understand how the immune system works. When Europeans first landed on America, many Native Americans died of THE COMMON COLD. The Martians died because they had no immunity to Earth diseases that our bodies have learned to kill. COVID is killing people because it's new, and most people have no immunity to it. COVID wouldn't have been more devastating than the other germs that killed the Martians. The result would have been the exact same, just maybe different symptoms. COVID isn't a supervirus, just a new one

@@PyroGothNerd Very true. COVID-19 isn't that severe of an illness in general. SARS-CoV2 is just a normal Coronaviridae too, simply much more infectious and the illness it causes more severe. Pathogens like Influenza, Smallpox, Tuberculosis and the like still bear such a greater danger (though Smallpox is one we are safe from for now, but still it exists and most definitely in the hands of people who we don't know if we can trust.) Amazing books about disease are The Great Influenza by John M. Barry (my favourite book of all time, alongside War of the Worlds) and The Demon In The Freezer by Richard Preston. I highly recommend them, amazing books about microbiology and pathology :)

The "eyes" at the front are organic. It's not clear whether they are actually the Martians themselves, or simply the "pseudo organic" parts they used in their machines. Even in the original Wells novel, it is noted that the Machine legs are actuated by a "sham musculature" that works in much the same way as, say, human muscles. It is stated that the Martian machines are very different to human machines - for example, they make no use of the wheel - but instead are much more like living things.

I am further intrigued by the Tripods eyes being seemingly Flesh instead of a simple bug eyed window Does that mean the Tripods are more living creatures than simple vehicles for the Martian’s inside?

The whole point is about imperialism, and hubris. The Martians are clever and resourceful, but they are also arrogant, believing nothing can touch them, that they are above nature. That is their undoing.

In the Wells novel, the Martians can be seen "riding" the machines and it is they that the birds are feeding on.
