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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He climbed so slowly[00:01:13]

Ahead Ahead[00:01:14]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cascading down the mountain[00:01:56]

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

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

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

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

To devour[00:02:17]

Yours[00:02:19]

To seize[00:02:20]

And to obey obey[00:02:21]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He spoke so slowly[00:04:00]

Ahead[00:04:03]

He said[00:04:07]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And greed[00:04:46]

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

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

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

To devour yours[00:05:04]

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