Lyrics
The Forest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Journey on through ages gone, to the centre of the earth
Past rocks of quartz and granite, which gave mother naturebirth
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 wherehe's been)
The shore now gone behind the hills, a forest in our sight,
Rocks and distant mountains, batherd in waves of blinding light
Forests from far gone time, no living man has seen,
A private prehistoric world, for you 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 eath, a frightening, bygone age
Their shepherd came, now long extinct, a huge primeval man
The three men filled with disbelief, just turned as one andran.
