《Colonel Forbin’s Ascent》歌词

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

[00:00:03] One two three four

[00:00:28] Colonel forbin stared up at the mountain

[00:00:34] And wiped away the beads of sweat

[00:00:36] That glistened on his brow

[00:00:40] His tired feet were buried in the quagmire

[00:00:45] And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him

[00:00:49] And fulfillment of his vow

[00:00:56] And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root

[00:01:02] And pulled his body upwards

[00:01:05] To a sea green mossy boulder

[00:01:08] And he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain

[00:01:13] And he climbed so slowly

[00:01:17] He climbed so slowly

[00:01:20] Ahead hey

[00:01:25] Ahead hey

[00:01:41] Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder

[00:01:44] And the rocks began to crumble overhead

[00:01:47] And tumble down the mountain to the

[00:01:49] Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs

[00:01:50] Through which his path had led

[00:01:53] And the earth began to quake beneath his feet

[00:01:56] And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes

[00:01:58] And he stood amidst

[00:01:59] A sea of dust and rocks and stones

[00:02:01] Cascading down the mountain

[00:02:03] And a thousand birds were headed for the sky oh

[00:02:08] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:02:17] And if you wait until tomorrow

[00:02:20] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:02:24] To devour

[00:02:25] Yours

[00:02:26] To seize

[00:02:28] And to obey hey

[00:02:34] Obey hey

[00:03:19] When the dust had cleared

[00:03:22] The colonel lifted up his head

[00:03:26] And was driven to his knees

[00:03:28] By a blazing beam of light

[00:03:31] And he saw the silhouette that stood before him

[00:03:37] And he bowed in reverence

[00:03:39] Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form

[00:03:49] Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes

[00:03:55] Looking down on colonel forbin

[00:03:57] Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck

[00:04:02] And he quietly addressed him

[00:04:06] And he spoke so slowly

[00:04:10] He spoke so slowly

[00:04:12] He said hey

[00:04:18] He said hey

[00:04:35] Colonel forbin I know why you've come here

[00:04:38] And I'll help you with your quest to gain

[00:04:39] The knowledge that you lack

[00:04:41] I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird

[00:04:44] To fly and seize the helping book

[00:04:45] And bring it to your shack

[00:04:47] And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow

[00:04:49] And the helping friendly book will plant the seed

[00:04:52] But I warn you that all knowledge

[00:04:53] Seeming innocent and pure

[00:04:55] Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice

[00:04:58] And greed

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

[00:05:09] And if you wait until tomorrow

[00:05:13] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:05:17] To devour yours

[00:05:19] To seize and to obey hey

[00:05:27] Obey hey
