Lyrics
The Journey
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.
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 my prayer
Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears
Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries
