Rick Wakeman – Journey To Center Of The Earth
Letra & música · Lyrics & music
Colin Evans & Marcus Davis
By horse, by rail, by land, by sea, our journey starts
Two men incensed by one man’s journey from the past
In Iceland, where the mountain stood with pride
They set off with their guide
To reach the mountain side
Roped as one for safety through the long descent
Into the crater of volcanic rock they went
Look up from our telescopic lair,
One star for us to share,
We continue on our prayer
Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears,
Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries.
