Artist : Phish
Song : Tela
The sky is burning in this lonely man
And I kneel by the river and I feel the sand and
the wind
The wind from beyond the mountain
The wind from beyond the mountain
And she comes to me in this lonely land
And looks down from the multi-beast on which she
rides like the wind
The wind from beyond the mountain
The wind from beyond the mountain
Tela was born in a vulgar crooked hut
In the shadow of wilson’s castle
Venomous scorn from a life of bitter toil
In the shadow of wilson’s castle
Glory esteem fueled by her hatred it grew
Swelling to the point where it would
Burst at the seems there was nothing she could
do
Tela tela jewel of wilson’s foul domain
Tela tela jewel of wilson’s foul domain
A lullaby the breezes whisper
And I look into her eyes and my frozen heart
begins to thaw
And burns, ’til layer after layer melts away into
a pool
A sky blue mirror of her eyes
And my soul is made of marble but in her gaze I
crumble into dust
And drift away on the wind
The wind from beyond the mountain
The wind from beyond the mountain
Tela grew strong from her struggle to endure
In the shadow of wilson’s castle
Time touched her wounds and shelter proved the
cure
In the shadow of wilson’s castle
Each passing day seemed to feed the brazen
serpent locked inside
And liberate the spirit she’d concealed for so
long
There was no place left to hide
Tela tela jewel of wilson’s foul domain
Tela tela jewel of wilson’s foul domain
A lullaby the breezes whisper
Tela 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
colonel’s spine. and as the multi-beast moved
towards him, he raised his fist in anger, and his
voice filled the forest.
