The Lamb Ran Away with the Crown (Live at Boston Music Hall)

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.

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.
