There came the day he sailed away, the day that the flowers died Staring out across the sea a lonely tear he cried, Out about the western board, he lived upon the waves Hoping for the day of rest, running from the grave They told of old the song of gold, that came running from the hills Splashed with the blood of Christ, for it any man would kill A thousand years hidden from, the evil of mankind There came a man from far away, on the day the flowers died Round the cape of southtown, riding the trade winds Now that he stole the cursed gold, the adventure truly begins They say the day he took away, the gold of the gods The earth did start to tremble, and the mountains fell apart Through the lands of indians, guided by a magic ring He pointed east his floating beast, to meet the Myan king But there on the trail brimstone and hail, stopped him in his tracks The keeper of the kingdoms, came to get his treasure back Blue moon rising ain't no sunshine blue moon rising ya Blue moon rising ain't no sunshing blue moon rising ya They told of old the song of gold, that came running from the hills Splashed with the blood of Christ, for it any man would kill A thousand years hidden from, the evil of mankind There came a man from far away, on the day the flowers died Blue moon rising ain't no sunshine blue moon rising ya Blue moon rising ain't no sunshing blue moon rising ya Blue moon rising ain't no sunshine blue moon rising ya Blue moon rising ain't no sunshing blue moon rising ya
