The Battle / The Forest
Brownish hue dictates my eye no color 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 Dumb with astonishment and amazement Which bordered on stupefaction they fled the forest Instinctively they made towards the Lidenbrook Sea Discovering a rusty dagger on the beach And the carved initials of the explorer Before them on a slab of granite They realized that they were once again treading The route of Arne Saknussemm Following a short sea journey around a cape They came ashore where a dark tunnel plunged deep into rock And venturing down their progress was halted by a piece of rock Blocking their way They put out to sea for safety, with the explosion Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The rocks before them opened like a curtain And a bottomless pit appeared in the shore The explosion had caused an earthquake The abyss had opened up and the sea was pouring into it Down and down they plunged into the huge gallery But on regaining their senses found their raft rising at tremendous speed Trapped in the shaft of an active volcano They rose through the ages of man To be finally expelled out on a mountain side Riddled with tiny lava streams Their journey was completed and they found themselves 3000 miles From their original starting point in Iceland They had entered by one volcano and they had come out by another With the blue mountains of Calabria in the east they Walked away from the mountain that had returned them The frightening Mount Etna
