The Lamb Ran Away With The Crown Lyrics - Judee Sill - 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 

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 

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
