Journey To The Centre Of The Earth(1974), part6. The Forest

--The Forest-- 

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, 
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 now gone behind the hills, a forest in our sight, 
Rocks and distant mountains, bathed in waves of blinding light 

Forests from far gone time, no living man has seen, 
private prehistoric world, for you and I a dream 

Brownish hue dicates 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, bygone age 

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