The Battered Warrior Returns....

[COL Longstreet]

It´s "The End", followed by "Riders of the Storm".

As he said he saw his shaman background as truth but as fun as he was (as often) high, this doesn´t say he´s insane because I´m not insane!

I just wonder how he get´s on that the snake has a lenght of 7 miles ...

[RES Mitchell]

If it's seven miles long, all you have to do is pick a spot on the snake and piggy-back it down to the Ancient Lake. The snake probably wouldn't even feel you on him...

[Russell]

The snake... wow did that part of the song seem really strange to me the first time I heard it, but after looking into it a bit more it made more sense. But, if you really want to hear something interesting from the mind of Jim Morrison, listen to the CD "American Prayer".... it's definitely something else. But now, as a quick tribute, The End:

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of everything that stands
The end

No safety or surprise
The end
I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway West, baby

Ride the snake
Ride the snake
To the lake
To the lake

The ancient lake, baby
The snake is long
Seven miles
Ride the snake

He's old
And his skin is cold
The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
Father
Yes son?
I want to kill you
Mother, I want to. . .

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

And while I'm at it, I must thank the movie Apocalypse Now for introducing me to this song and the band as a whole.

[Syrtaras]

Don't you also just love the smell of napalm in the morning? Dude, I so want to be insane like him. :P

[Vortagh]

Just gimme back the board, Syrt
