The Lamb Ran Away with the Crown - Judee Sill

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 lamb ran away with the crown

So I drew my sword and got ready

But the lamb ran away with the crown

Though 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

(repeat to fade out)

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
