Discover the story of the song > The Eve of the War – jeff wayne

The song is telling a story about an alien invasion from Mars in the late 19th century. At first, people didn't believe that there could be life on other planets, but then they started to see missiles coming towards Earth. Even though some scientists thought there was no danger, eventually a cylinder from Mars landed on Earth and someone tried to escape from it. The song repeats that the chances of anything coming from Mars were a million to one, but they still came.
