Battle/the Forest Lyrics - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth - Rick Wakeman

Brownish hue dictates my eye no color hides their fear 

Flowers faded dull and cold now bleached by atmosphere 

Creatures twisting under trees, huge monsters soaked with rage 

Hidden deep below our earth a frightening bygone age 

Their shepherd came now long extinct, a huge primeval man 

The three men filled with disbelief just turned as one and ran 

Dumb with astonishment and amazement 

Which bordered on stupefaction they fled the forest 

Instinctively they made towards the Lidenbrook Sea 

Discovering a rusty dagger on the beach 

And the carved initials of the explorer 

Before them on a slab of granite 

They realized that they were once again treading 

The route of Arne Saknussemm 

Following a short sea journey around a cape 

They came ashore where a dark tunnel plunged deep into rock 

And venturing down their progress was halted by a piece of rock 

Blocking their way 

They put out to sea for safety, with the explosion 

The rocks before them opened like a curtain 

And a bottomless pit appeared in the shore 

The explosion had caused an earthquake 

The abyss had opened up and the sea was pouring into it 

Down and down they plunged into the huge gallery 

But on regaining their senses found their raft rising at tremendous speed 

Trapped in the shaft of an active volcano 

They rose through the ages of man 

To be finally expelled out on a mountain side 

Riddled with tiny lava streams 

Their journey was completed and they found themselves 3000 miles 

From their original starting point in Iceland 

They had entered by one volcano and they had come out by another 

With the blue mountains of Calabria in the east they 

Walked away from the mountain that had returned them 

The frightening Mount Etna
