《Colonel Forbin’s Ascent》歌词

[00:00:02] Colonel Forbin's Ascent - Phish

[00:00:24] Colonel forbin stared up at the mountain

[00:00:31] And wiped away the beads of sweat

[00:00:33] That glistened on his brow

[00:00:36] His tired feet were buried in the quagmire

[00:00:41] And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him

[00:00:45] And fulfillment of his vow

[00:00:52] And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root

[00:00:58] And pulled his body upwards

[00:01:01] To a sea green mossy boulder

[00:01:04] And he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain

[00:01:09] And he climbed so slowly

[00:01:13] He climbed so slowly

[00:01:14] Ahead Ahead

[00:01:37] Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder

[00:01:39] And the rocks began to crumble overhead

[00:01:42] And tumble down the mountain to the

[00:01:44] Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs

[00:01:46] Through which his path had led

[00:01:48] And the earth began to quake beneath his feet

[00:01:50] And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes

[00:01:53] And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones

[00:01:56] Cascading down the mountain

[00:01:57] And a thousand birds were headed for the sky oh

[00:02:03] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:02:10] And if you wait until tomorrow

[00:02:14] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:02:17] To devour

[00:02:19] Yours

[00:02:20] To seize

[00:02:21] And to obey obey

[00:03:11] When the dust had cleared the colonel lifted up his head

[00:03:16] And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light

[00:03:23] And he saw the silhouette that stood before him

[00:03:28] And he bowed in reverence

[00:03:30] Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form

[00:03:39] Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes

[00:03:45] Looking down on colonel forbin

[00:03:47] Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck

[00:03:52] And he quietly addressed him

[00:03:56] And he spoke so slowly

[00:04:00] He spoke so slowly

[00:04:03] Ahead

[00:04:07] He said

[00:04:24] Colonel forbin I know why you've come here

[00:04:27] And I'll help you with your quest to gain

[00:04:28] The knowledge that you lack

[00:04:29] I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird

[00:04:32] To fly and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack

[00:04:35] And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow

[00:04:38] And the helping friendly book will plant the seed

[00:04:40] But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure

[00:04:43] Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice

[00:04:46] And greed

[00:04:51] The sacred greed will be yours

[00:04:58] And if you wait until tomorrow

[00:05:02] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:05:04] To devour yours

[00:05:07] To seize and to obey And to obey
