The Forest (Live, The London Palladium, 22 February 2023) - Rick Wakeman

Composed by：Rick Wakeman

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

Bathed 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 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
