PHISH lyrics : "Col Forbin's Ascent"
people far away from this city far away from this whole
state,
this whole country, and the riots going on and everything. If
you'll just imagine yourself lifting off the ground right now
with
us and the whole building just opening up, up above our heads
and all
the people just slowly floating slowly lifting up off the
ground
up into the air and up into the clouds until you can see the
mountains
and the city down below. Going up a little higher and higher
and
higher and higher and higher, your getting up higher, just
floating,
floating up above the earth. Then you start going forward now
you're
not just going up but you're going forward. The clouds are
splitting slowly
behind you and you've got gray clouds on either side of you and
then
they start
to split open and now there's nothing but blackness in front of
you
and stars. And you're floating forward, your moving forward the
whole group
of people are moving forward and you're floating through space
and through
time. There moving through time and then you look down below
you, you
start to see shapes taking form below you brown green shapes,
and you feel
yourself dropping back down and you look below you and you
see
this one shape over here is a mountain a huge mountain and as
you
get closer it starts to look bigger and bigger and over on your
left there's
a green patch its a huge forest floating off in the distance and
on the
third side there's a green field that goes straight off into
the
distance the other way. And you start to come down, and you're
comin' down
and you look and you see the mountain and now the mountain is
looming before
you, a huge mountain bigger than you've ever seen before. And as
you
look you see on the side of the mountain you look closely and
you see a tiny
speck and you realize this is not just a tiny speck...
This tiny speck is this tiny speck is Col. Forbin! Col Forbin
is
climbing up the mountain and as we come down, on your left you
see a
revolutionary's camp. And you start to realize that this is
the
revolutionary camp. These people are trying to overthrow the
evil
King Wilson. This whole area used to be a beautiful beautiful
lush
natural area and the people used to live in peace and harmony
with
nature but the evil King Wilson came and enslaved the people,
he
stole their book the Helping Friendly Book and he hid it in
the
highest tower of his castle. And right now Colonel Forbin
seeing
the failure of the revolution is doing the last thing that he
thinks is
possible. He's climbing up this huge mountain, way bigger than
K2
or Everest this is the biggest mountain there's ever been in
the
history of time and the entire universe. He's been climbing
for
days weeks jagged cliffs climbing up rocks falling below he's
starving hungry
but he needs to get to the top because he wants to find... the
Great
and Knowledgeable... the great and knowledgeable one... (Icculus
music starts)
He needs to find, hew needs to find this great man.
He's climbing the mountain to find a great man because this
great man changed his life and he changed
our life (ooooh oooh ooooh)) and this great man can change
your
life.(oooh ooooh ) Someday I hope that you too will discover
this
great man, because he wrote a great book (ooooh ooh ) This man
wrote
the Helping Friendly Book, and this is the book and this is
the
book that contained all the knowledge inherent in the universe.
We
read this book, and we learned...the way to a better life. And
I
hope, I hope deep down that someday, you all will read this
great
book, and learn the way to a greater life.
