TREY: Ok, at this point in time, it’s been a [cut] It’s live but… just to…to... Ok, he’s over here talking, but I wanna get Page to sing one now because I’ve got a bit of a frog in my throat. Anyway, this song is called Tela and before we start it, let me just explain a little bit about it. So if you get the idea here you’ve got your Gamehendge, you got Wilson is the evil king who’s the one who enslaved everybody. Icculus lives up on the mountain. Or, he doesn’t really live there, he’s the spirit of the mountain.

Tela is sort of the heroine of the story. She is one of the main revolutionaries and one of the leaders of the people who are trying to overthrow Wilson. When Colonel Forbin, who is the hero [audience member yells: “Go Wilson!”, Trey: haha and when we go to California we’ll probably have to do Wilson, as you guys probably know.] Anyway, Tela is sort of the main revolutionary like I said. When Colonel Forbin makes it to Gamehendge and starts discovering the whole scene he runs into Tela and he falls in love with her at first sight and this is sort of a love song that he sings to her.

[“Tela” comes next, which will be followed by another narration, again without backing music. ]
