Lyrics The Journey (Live At Royal Festival Hall, London/1974) - Rick Wakeman
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.
NARRATION
Narration
1
Admiring
shades
of
lava
which
imperceptibly
passed
from
reddish
Brown
to
bright
yellow,
their
way
lit
by
crystals
appearing
as
Lighted
globes,
they
continued
through
the
lava
gallery,
which
Gently
sloped
until
they
reached
the
inter
section
of
two
roads.
Without
hesitation
Professor
Lidenbrook
chose
the
eastern
tunnel.
And
the
journey
continued
through
a
succession
of
arches,
appearing
Before
them
as
if
they
were
the
aisles
of
a
gothic
cathedral;
the
Walls
were
enhanced
with
impressions
of
Rock
weeds
and
mosses
from
The
Silurian
epoch.
Narration
2
The
Eastern
route
they
had
taken
had
come
to
a
dead
end.
With
three
Days'walk
back
to
the
fork
to
find
Arne
Saknussemm's
original
Route,
they
found
their
water
rations
were
limited
to
one
day.
Knowing
their
only
change
of
finding
water
was
on
that
route,
they
Set
off
for
the
fork
and
there
finally
they
fell
almost
lifeless
on
The
third
day.
After
sleep,
they
continued
down
the
other
tunnel
in
Their
quest
for
water,
and
whilst
searching
on
his
own,
Hans,
the
Guide,
heard
the
sound
of
water
thundering
behind
a
granite
wall,
And,
with
a
pick
axe,
attacked
the
wall
so
as
to
allow
a
stream
of
Boiling
water
to
enter
and
cool
in
their
tunnel.
Not
only
had
they
Found
life
in
the
water
but
they
had
also
found
a
flowing
guide
to
The
Centre
of
the
Earth.
They
called
the
stream
the
Hansbach.
Narration
3
Replenished
with
the
water
the
journey
continued
with
haste,
but
Somehow
they
find
themselves
separated.
Professor
Lidenbrook's
Nephew
Axel
found
himself
alone.
His
mind
was
seized
with
Unparalleled
fear
and
he
saw
memories
of
home
flashing
before
him.
His
fiancee
Grauben,
his
house
and
friends
in
Hamburg.
He
saw
Hallucinations
of
all
the
incidents
of
the
journey.
And,
unworthy
As
he
felt,
he
knelt
in
fervent
prayer
and
then,
in
panic,
he
ran
Blindly
through
a
tunnel
only
to
reach
a
dead
end,
where
he
fell
Panting
for
breath.
In
the
darkness
he
cried...
voices...
Voices...
voices...
He
heard
voices.
He
heard
his
uncle's
voice.
Due
to
the
shape
of
the
gallery
and
the
conducting
power
of
the
Rocks,
his
uncle's
voice
was
uncannily
travelling
around
the
Walls.
By
means
of
their
chronometers
they
discovered
they
were
Four
miles
apart,
so
Axel
set
about
the
task
of
rejoining
the
Professor
and
their
guide.
