Journey To The Centre of The Earth

JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH
Part IV : The Forest
(Rick Wakeman with The London Symphony Orchestra
and The English Chamber Choir)


Journey on through ages gone, to the centre of the earth
Past rocks of quartz and granite, which gave mother nature birth

Burial ground of ancient man, his life no more is seen
A journey through his time unknown, I wonder where he’s been

Wonder where he’s been, wonder where he’s been, wonder where he’s been

The shore no gone behind the hills, a forest in our sight
Rocks and distance mountains, bathed in waves of blinding light


Forest from a far gone time, no living man has seen
A private prehistoric world, for your and I a dream

Brownish hue dictates my eye, no colour 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, by gone age

Their shepherd came, now long extinct, a huge primeval man
The three man filled with disbelief , just turned as one and ran
