Phish - Tela Lyrics
The sky is burning in this lonely manAnd I kneel by the river and I feel the sand and the windThe wind from beyond the mountainThe wind from beyond the mountainAnd she comes to me in this lonely landAnd looks down from the multi-beast on which she rides like the windThe wind from beyond the mountainThe wind from beyond the mountainTela was born in a vulgar crooked hutIn the shadow of wilsons castleVenomous scorn from a life of bitter toilIn the shadow of wilsons castleGlory esteem fueled by her hatred it grewSwelling to the point where it wouldBurst at the seems there was nothing she could doTela tela jewel of wilsons foul domainTela tela jewel of wilsons foul domainA lullaby the breezes whisperAnd I look into her eyes and my frozen heart begins to thawAnd burns, til layer after layer melts away into a poolA sky blue mirror of her eyesAnd my soul is made of marble but in her gaze I crumble into dustAnd drift away on the windThe wind from beyond the mountainThe wind from beyond the mountainTela grew strong from her struggle to endureIn the shadow of wilsons castleTime touched her wounds and shelter proved the cureIn the shadow of wilsons castleEach passing day seemed to feed the brazen serpent locked insideAnd liberate the spirit shed concealed for so longThere was no place left to hideTela tela jewel of wilsons foul domainTela tela jewel of wilsons foul domainA lullaby the breezes whisperTela reached out her hand and helped forbin on to the back of the multi- beast, and together they rode off into the forest.As they rode, tela explained to him about wilson and the helping friendly book. she told the colonel that she was part of a revolution to overthrow the evil king. the leader of the revolution was a lizard named errand wolfe who was out to avenge the death of his son roger. roger, she said, had been executed by wilson at the age of fourteen on suspicion of treason. he had been abducted from his home and hung in the public square.The two rode on in silence, deeper and deeper into the heart of the forest until they came to the outskirts of a small community. tela explained to forbin that they had reached the base of the revolutionaries. the colonel looked up and there in the center of the clearing stood errand wolfe. he was a small man but his presence was overpowering. he seemed to emit a kind of violent energy that sent chills down the colonels spine. and as the multi-beast moved towards him, he raised his fist in anger, and his voice filled the forest.
