Letra da Música Battle_the Forest de Rick Wakeman

The Battle
Five days out on an infinite sea, they prayed for calm
on an ocean free,
But the surface of the water was indicating some
disturbance.

The raft was hurled by and unseen source, two hundred
feet,
With frightening force
And a dark mass rising showed to be a giant porpoise

Rising out of the angry sea, towered the creature's
enemy,
And so the two sea monstrers closed for battle

Crocodile's teeth, lizard's head, bloodshot eye,
stained ocean red
Moving close to their raft's side, the two men prayed
as one and cried
"Save me, save me, save me, save me"

The serpent's fight went on for hours, two monsters
soaring up like towers
And driving down to the depths in a single motion

Suddenly, the serpent's head, shot out of the water
bathed in red
And the serpentine form lay lifeless on the ocean

Crocodile's teeth, lizard's head, bloodshot eye
stained ocean read
Battle won, a victor's pride, the three men tanked the
Lord and cried
"Praise God, praise God, praise God, praise God".

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,
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 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 and ran.
