[00:00.000]Mustapha's Tale - Angelo Branduardi
[01:26.540]Mustapha the silver bit
[01:28.452]And stoked up the fire
[01:31.171]Began his tale once
[01:33.020]In the blue hills so tired
[01:35.928]I found a cave to shelter in
[01:38.428]The entrance was low
[01:40.701]If its fable or fantasy the desert wind knows
[01:46.924]If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows
[01:56.020]Suddenly awakened with a
[01:58.515]Black chill of terror
[02:00.697]I saw twelve hooded figures
[02:02.858]In graveyard apparel
[02:05.426]Who shuffling towards
[02:07.152]Me where I crouched by the wall
[02:10.392]Said Mustapha you're now one of us
[02:13.197]We have need of one more
[02:16.785]Yes joining hands they left
[02:18.680]A place and called for one more
[02:25.516]Thirteen we must be tonight
[02:28.120]For conjure and scheme
[02:30.203]My limbs gave me to them
[02:33.031]I prayed that I dreamed
[02:35.131]My hands held fast by other
[02:37.393]Hands the circle was closed
[02:40.031]If its fable or fantasy the desert wind knows
[02:46.285]If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows
[03:39.403]A pentagram of Caldea
[03:41.522]Was drawn in vermillion
[03:43.862]Where five lamps were
[03:45.420]A'flickering to foul incantation
[03:49.068]When all at once sulphurous vapours did rise
[03:53.756]A cloud a shape a form
[03:55.946]A face with tapers for eyes
[04:03.011]Never was a gargoyle more
[04:05.351]Hideously moulded
[04:07.555]Or a voice heard more of snake fit
[04:09.938]Which that awful head issued
[04:12.552]No greater riches offered for
[04:14.919]A small sacrifice
[04:17.167]A name in blood a promised soul
[04:19.933]The unholy price
[04:23.312]A name in blood a promised soul
[04:25.924]The unholy price
[05:15.618]It offered me all women both living and dead
[05:20.846]Palaces and flower a crown for my head
[05:25.326]But from somewhere deep inside
[05:27.088]Me came the strength to scream no
[05:30.110]If its fable or fantasy the desert wind knows
[05:36.123]If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows
[05:45.127]Mustapha the silver bit and
[05:47.273]Stoked up the fire
[05:49.543]Began his tale once in the
[05:52.007]Blue hills so tired
[05:54.497]I found a cave to shelter in and
[05:57.138]The rest I've disclosed
[05:59.477]Fable or fantasy the desert wind blows
[06:05.164]If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows
