Lyrics The Battle - 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 an 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 creatures' enemy
And so the two sea monsters closed for battle
Crocodile 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 serpents' 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 teeth, lizard’s head, bloodshot eye stained ocean read
Battle won, a victor’s pride, the three men thanked the Lord and cried
«Praise God, praise God, praise God, praise God.»
Battle won, a victor’s pride, the three men thanked the Lord and cried
«Praise God, praise God, praise God, praise God.»
