Tela Lyrics

The sky is burning in this lonely land 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/tela-lyrics-phish.html ] 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
