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

One two three four[00:00:03]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He climbed so slowly[00:01:17]

Ahead hey[00:01:20]

Ahead hey[00:01:25]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And he stood amidst[00:01:58]

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

Cascading down the mountain[00:02:01]

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

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

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

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

To devour[00:02:24]

Yours[00:02:25]

To seize[00:02:26]

And to obey hey[00:02:28]

Obey hey[00:02:34]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He spoke so slowly[00:04:10]

He said hey[00:04:12]

He said hey[00:04:18]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seeming innocent and pure[00:04:53]

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

And greed[00:04:58]

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

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

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

To devour yours[00:05:17]

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

Obey hey[00:05:27]
