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 were all that lay between him
and fullfillment of his vow
And he felt his fingers wrap around the knotted root
and he pulled his body upwards
to a sea green mossy boulder
and he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain
And he climb so slowly
and he climb so slowly
Ahead-----?
Ahead-----?
Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder
And the rocks began to crumble overhead
and tumbled down the mountain to the
dismal swampthat lay beneath the jagged cliffs
through which his path had led
and the earth began to quake before his eyes
and the mighty mountain change before his eyes
and he stood admist a sea of dust and rocks and stones
cascading down the mountain
and a thousand birds were heading fo the sky
and the scared creed will be yours
and if you wait until tomorrow
the sacred creed will be yours
to devour
yours
to seize
and to obey----?
obey------------?
