Intro = 4x

Verse =

G# C#m7 F#m7

Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain

And wiped away the beads of sweat

That glistened on his brow

F#m7 G9 C#6

His tired feet were buried in the quagmire

And his bloodshot eyes were all that lay between him

A# G#

and fullfillment of his vow

G# C#m7 F#m7

And he felt his fingers wrap around the knotted root

and he pulled his body upwards

to a sea green mossy boulder

F#m7 G9 C#6

and he dragged his weary carcass up the mountain

F#m7 G

And he climb so slowly

F#m7 G

and he climb so slowly

A F F#m7 A

C#7

Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder

D G

And the rocks began to crumble overhead

A C#7

and tumbled down the mountain to the

D G

dismal swampthat lay beneath the jagged cliffs

A C#7

through which his path had led

D G

and the earth began to quake before his eyes

A C#m7

and the mighty mountain change before his eyes

D G

and he stood admist a sea of dust and rocks and stones

A C#m7

cascading down the mountain

D G

and a thousand birds were heading fo the sky

A Bm7

and the scared creed will be yours

D G

and if you wait until tomorrow

the sacred creed will be yours

to devour

yours

to seize
