Once I heard a serpent remark, "If you try to evoke the spark, You can fly through the dark, With a red midnight raven, To rule the battleground," So I drew my sword and got ready, But the Iamb ran away with the crown. So I drew my sword and got ready, But the lamb ran away with the crown. Tho' the beast within me's a liar, He made me glow with a strange desire, And I rode on the fire, with a blue sacred opal To bless the battleground, But I turned to see its reflection, And the lamb ran away with the crown. But I turned to see its reflection, And the lamb ran away with the crown. Once a demon lived in my brow, I screamed and wailed and I cursed out loud, And I sailed through the clouds on ten crested cardinals To guard my battleground, But I laughed so hard I cried, And the lamb ran away with the crown. But I laughed so hard I cried, And the lamb ran away with the crown.
