Colonel Forbin's Ascent - Phish
One two three four

Colonel forbin stared up at the mountain

And wiped away the beads of sweat
That glistened on his brow

His tired feet were buried in the quagmire

And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him

And fulfillment of his vow

And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root

And pulled his body upwards

To a sea green mossy boulder

And he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain

And he climbed so slowly

He climbed so slowly
Ahead hey
Ahead hey

Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder
And the rocks began to crumble overhead

And tumble down the mountain to the
Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs
Through which his path had led

And the earth began to quake beneath his feet

And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes
And he stood amidst
a sea of dust and rocks and stones
Cascading down the mountain
And a thousand birds were headed for the sky oh
The sacred creed will be yours

And if you wait until tomorrow

The sacred creed will be yours
To devour

Yours
To seize
And to obey hey
Obey hey

When the dust had cleared
the colonel lifted up his head

And was driven to his knees
by a blazing beam of light

And he saw the silhouette that stood before him

And he bowed in reverence
Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form

Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes

Looking down on colonel forbin

Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck

And he quietly addressed him

And he spoke so slowly
He spoke so slowly
He said hey
He said hey

Colonel forbin I know why you've come here
And I'll help you with your quest to gain
The knowledge that you lack
I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird
To fly and seize the helping book
and bring it to your shack
And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow
And the helping friendly book will plant the seed
But I warn you that all knowledge
seeming innocent and pure
Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice

And greed

The sacred greed will be yours

And if you wait until tomorrow

The sacred creed will be yours
To devour yours
To seize and to obey hey
Obey hey
