leonard nimoy - amphibious assault lyrics

[background music]

[spoken word]
the time has come
h+hour
on the horizon, many ships watch and wait
silhouetted by the soft gray light of dawn

a lone craft moves toward the enemy shoreline
sole vehicle of the assault
the craft, an amphibious landing type
has a ramp gate in the bow
for the unloading of men and equipment onto the beach

at the back
above the level of the ramp gate
is a large glass enclosed structure
with a vermillion fleece rug
and c+cktail lounge furnishings

(sfx of laughter, conversation, and clinking glasses)

a party is in progress inside the glass room
the room is a+swirl with heavy military bodies
decorated with bright colored ribbons and medals
stewards dart about with trays of hors d’oeuvres
and champagne c+cktails
there is music and laughter
it is a merry party
and it continues as the craft moves forward
now the craft touches the beach
pushing a wave before it
the merriment subsides for a moment
and all in the glass room look casually toward the ramp gate
(music fades, sfx)

the ramp goes down
a single soldier clad in combat fatigues
carrying an infantry pack and rifle
rushes up over the ramp gate onto the beach
the soldier runs very hard and fast

(sfx of running feet and heavy breathing followed by a musical crescendo resembling a gunshot)

it is over quickly
he is k!lled by one shot
fired by the enemy

(music resumes)

the soldier lies crumpled
facedown on the sand
he is the only blemish on the smoothness
slowly the ramp gate begins to rise
the craft withdraws from the beach
the conversation and laughter in the glass room
resumes
