Jim Pons - The Lamb Ran Away With the Crown lyrics

[Verse 1] 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" [Chorus 1] (x2) So I drew my sword and got ready But the lamb ran away with the crown [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] (x2) But I turned to see its reflection And the lamb ran away with the crown [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 3] (x2) But I laughed so hard I cried And the lamb ran away with the crown
