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
