This will take you back to 1974. A bit obscure, but was an awesome album for it's time.
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

Here is the first 'stanza' of the song:
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave

They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe
That they've heard their last warning
Standing alone
Each has his own ticket in his hand
And as the evening descends
I sit thinking 'bout [........]
