“No one would have believed in the middle of the 20th Century that human affairs were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than Man's. Yet, across the gulf of space on the planet Mars, intellects vast and cool and unsypathetic regarded our Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely joined their plans against us.”

The War of the Worlds (1953)

 “Their eyes for many centuries Peered in from space Sincere their hope, their wise belief That they could teach our race

But yet on Mars, a darker side Like all things that god made Their tribe of war, would heed them not Earth they must invade!

See the fire in the skies See them devastate the land

Mars attacks!

The warlord chief commands See the humans fight and die! See our planet laid to waste

Mars attacks!

Monsters invade the Earth from space . . .”  

Mars Attacks - song by the Misfits
