《Colonel Forbin’s Ascent》歌词

[00:00:03] Colonel forbin stared up at the mountain

[00:00:19] And wiped away the beads of sweat

[00:00:28] That glistened on his brow

[00:00:32] His tired feet were buried in the quagmire

[00:00:39] And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him

[00:00:54] And fulfillment of his vow

[00:00:57] And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root

[00:01:07] And pulled his body upwards

[00:01:16] To a sea green mossy boulder

[00:02:01] Up the mountain

[00:02:09] And he climbed so slowly

[00:02:13] He climbed so slowly

[00:02:23] Ahead

[00:02:34] Ahead

[00:02:37] Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder

[00:02:43] And the rocks began to crumble overhead

[00:02:59] And tumble down the mountain to the

[00:03:22] Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs

[00:03:25] Through which his path had led

[00:03:26] And the earth began to quake beneath his feet

[00:03:29] And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes

[00:03:32] And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones

[00:03:35] Cascading down the mountain

[00:03:37] And a thousand birds were headed for the sky

[00:03:39] Oh

[00:03:42] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:03:50] And if you wait until tomorrow

[00:03:54] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:03:57] To devour

[00:03:59] Yours

[00:04:00] To seize

[00:04:01] And to obey

[00:04:08] Obey

[00:04:54] When the dust had cleared the colonel lifted up his head

[00:05:01] And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light

[00:05:06] And he saw the silhouette that stood before him

[00:05:12] And he bowed in reverence

[00:05:14] Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legends form

[00:05:25] Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes

[00:05:30] Looking down on colonel forbin

[00:05:33] Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck

[00:05:38] And he quietly addressed him

[00:05:42] And he spoke so slowly

[00:05:46] He spoke so slowly

[00:05:49] Ahead

[00:05:54] He said

[00:06:12] Colonel forbin I know why you've come here

[00:06:14] And I'll help you with your quest to gain the knowledge that you lack

[00:06:17] I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird

[00:06:20] To fly and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack

[00:06:23] And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow

[00:06:26] And the helping friendly book will plant the seed

[00:06:29] But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure

[00:06:32] Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice

[00:06:35] And greed

[00:06:39] The sacred greed will be yours

[00:06:47] And if you wait until tomorrow

[00:06:51] The sacred creed will be yours

[00:06:54] To devour

[00:06:56] Yours

[00:06:57] To seize

[00:06:58] And to obey

[00:06:59] And to obey

[00:06:59] And the famous mockingbird swooped down out of the sky and landed on icculuss shoulder and icculus whispered into the birds ear and it flew off toward wilsons castle in the valley below
