Judee Sill - The Lamb Ran Away With The Crown Lyrics

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 is 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
