The Journey / Recollection - Rick Wakeman
[00:00.000]THE JOURNEY [0...
[00:00.000]THE JOURNEY
[03:09.486]By horse, by rail by land, by sea, our journey starts
[03:18.863]Two men incensed by one man's journey from the past
[03:28.469]In Iceland,where the mountain stood with pride
[03:35.250]They set off with their guide
[03:39.622]To reach the mountain side
[03:51.059]Roped as one for safety through the long descent
[03:59.740]Into the crater of volcanic rock they went
[04:09.400]Look up from our telescopic lair,
[04:15.880]One star for us to share,
[04:20.242]We continue on our prayer.
[05:24.415]Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears,
[05:30.898]Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries.
[06:13.553][读白]
[06:13.553]Admiring shades of lava which imperceptively pass from reddish brown to bright yellow,
[06:19.376]their way lit by crystals appearing as lighted globes,
[06:23.134]they continued to the lava gallery which gently sloped until they reached the intersection of two roads.
[06:29.508]Without hesitation, Professor Lidenbrock chose the eastern tunnel and the journey continued
[06:34.437]through a succession of arched appearing before them as if they were the isles of a Gothic cathedral.
[06:40.868]The walls were enhanced with impressions of rock weeds,
[06:44.437]and mosses from the Silurian Epoc.
[08:00.017]The eastern route they had taken had come to a dead end.
[08:03.729]With three days walk back to the fork to find Arne Saknussemm's original route,
[08:08.227]they found their water rations were limited to one day.
[08:12.100]Knowing their only chance of finding water was on that route,
[08:15.527]they set off for the fork and there finally they fell almost lifeless on the third day.
[08:22.131]After sleep they continued down the other tunnel in their quest for water.
[08:26.214]And while searching on his own,
[08:28.219]Hans, the guide,heard the sound of water thundering behind a granite walls and with a pickaxe attacked the wall so as to allow a stream of boiling water to enter and cooled in their tunnel.
[08:40.317]Not only had they found life in the water,
[08:43.706]but they had also found a flowing guide to the centre of the Earth.
[08:48.712]They called the stream
[08:50.592]the "Nansbach"
[11:48.714]Replenished with the water, the journey continued with haste,
[11:52.314]but somehow they found themselves separated.
[11:55.296]Professor Lidenbrock's nephew Axel found himself alone.
[11:59.484]His mind was seized with unparalleled fear and he saw memories of home flashing before him:
[12:05.680]His fiance Bräuben, his house and friends in Hamburg.
[12:09.146]He saw hallucinations of ali the incidents of the journey.
[12:12.744]And unworthy as he felt, he knelt in fervent prayer,
[12:16.224]and then in panic he ran blindly through a tunnel only to reach a dead end,
[12:20.799]where he fell panting for breath.
[12:23.730]In the darkness he cried, voices, voices, voices, he heard voices,
[12:31.408]he heard his uncle's voice.
[12:33.220]Due to the shape of the gallery and the conducting power of the rocks,
[12:36.544]his uncle’s voice was uncannily travelling around the walls.
[12:40.478]By means of their chronometers, they discovered they were four miles apart.
[12:45.085]Axel set about the task of rejoining the professor and their guide.
[16:12.099]RECOLLECTION
[16:12.099]Memories of a life on earth go flashing past,
[16:20.583]Of home, of Grauben, friends of whom he's seen his last
[16:29.805]Contemplating what his life's been worth,
[16:35.634]While trapped beneath the earth,
[16:40.392]An embryo at birth
[16:51.254]Pain and fear destroy the beauty I have seen,
[16:59.199]Of caverns, where no other man has ever been
[17:07.841]Silurian epoch hosts me as my grave,
[17:14.030]My final bow I wave,
[17:18.356]A life too late to save
[17:29.215]Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears,
[17:35.466]Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries
[18:17.036][读白]
[18:17.036]Suddenly the ground disappeared from beneath his feet.
[18:20.783]He fell down a verticle shaft his head hitting a sharp rock,
[18:24.651]he lost consciousness.
[18:26.789]On opening his eves he found himself with the professor and the guide.
[18:31.256]And looking around him he saw an ocean stretching as far as the eye could see.
[18:35.984]A giant forest of mushrooms,a line of huge cliffs,
[18:40.838]and strange clouds hung over head as he lay on a deeply indented shore of gloden sand strewn with shells.
[18:48.821]For a moment he thought he was back on the surface of the earth,
[18:52.471]but he soon realized that they had reached a world within a world.
