Phish - Narration 2 lyrics

By that night
News of Palmer's death had traveled back
To the camp spirit's were
Low and Colonel Forbin felt devastated
Even though he had only
Been in Gamehendge for one day
He had already developed a deep hatred
For Wilson he wanted desperately to help
The revolutionaries, but without Palmer
It seemed hopeless

He wandered slowly through the
Camp and passed Errand
Wolfe, sitting by the fire with Rutherford
Who had returned that afternoon he
Walked on and soon found
Himself outside of Tela's hut
Forbin knocked and walked
In tela sat behind a makeshift
Desk in the center
Of a room that was littered with small
Cages containing spotted stripers
A tiny three legged breed of animal
The unit monster sat in
The corner the colonel took a
Step toward Tela and spoke
"I needed to come here tonight, " he said
"to tell you that I've
Fallen in love with you" He looked
To her eyes for approval
But her face remained frozen
In an expressionless stare

An awkward blanket of silence fell over
The room and hung for a
Long moment before being shattered by the
Sound of the door swinging
Violently open it was Rutherford the Brave
The ironclad knight rushed across the
Room and gripped the throats of
Tela and the unit monster
In each of his mighty hands they
Struggled to break free but even
The unit monster was no match for
Rutherford's power and soon it
Was over the bodies fell to the
Floor in a lifeless heap
Colonel Forbin stepped forward from where
He stood in the corner
Unable to contain his confusion and
Rage and screamed "Wh?"

His question was answered by Errand Wolfe
Who had quietly slipped through the
Doorway during the confusion "She was
A spy, " he said, and
Explained to Forbin that she had been
Sending information to Wilson using
The spotted stripers as carriers roger's
Death had aroused his suspicion
And Palmer's had confirmed it

The colonel stood in silence in a world
That had turned up-side down so many
Times that he no longer knew which
Way was up it had all
Seemed so simple when he first
Arrived good versus evil, and of course he
Had sided with good as he had
Done all his life and now
He stood and stared into the
Eyes of Errand Wolfe and
He saw evil the entire picture began to
Seem like an enormous puzzle with one
Piece missing, and the colonel knew what
That piece was "Within twenty-four hours
" he said to Errand
Wolfe, "you will have the
Helping Friendly Book" And
Even as the words were leaving his
Lips, he found himself running out the door
And into the forest, not towards PRussia
But toward the great mountain
Looming in the distance
