             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------------?


Then you repeat the whole song with different lyrics.
