The sacred creed will be yours to devour
And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes
Ahead, ahead
Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck
Through which his path had led
He climbed so slowly
And he saw the silhouette that stood before him
And he climbed so slowly
He spoke so slowly
His tired feet were buried in the quagmire
And if you wait until tomorrow
Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs
And pulled his body upwards
When the dust had cleared, the colonel lifted up his head
And he spoke so slowly
But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure
And if you wait until tomorrow
And tumble down the mountain to the
Colonel Forbin I know why you've come here
And a thousand birds were headed for the sky
And the earth began to quake beneath his feet
And the rocks began to crumble overhead
The sacred creed will be yours
The sacred creed will be yours
To a sea green mossy boulder
And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones
Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form
Yours to seize and to obey, obey
Cascading down the mountain
And the Helping Friendly Book will plant the seed
The sacred creed will be yours to devour
And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow
And he dragged his weary shit-ass up the mountain
To fly and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack
Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice and greed
He said, ahead
And he bowed in reverence
Looking down on Colonel Forbin
And fulfillment of his vow
Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes
That glistened on his brow
And he felt his fingers wrap around he knotted root
I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird
Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder
And I'll help you with your quest to gain the knowledge that you lack
And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him
And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light
And he quietly addressed him
