Serpent Of Dreams

Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway
 Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave
 Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows
 Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
 Down in the mine, circled 'round a diamond
 Serpent of your expectations sleeps a nervous dream
 Circled so fine like a velvet palace
 Whiles away the passing hours, not being what he seems
 Then he creeps into the night speeding up like fire flight
 How he moves into the forest floor
 Send away the pace of time, leave behind the lonely mine
 And the diamond silent on the floor
 We cannot stay by the crystal mountain
 The serpent of dreams has left his shadow lair
 The diamond remains brilliant in its cavern
 No one to see and no one left to care
 The serpent's friends have come and gone
 Down the hills, they're movin' on
 Through the lakes and forests and the dale
 They will find tomorrow's rise
 Brings them all the bluest skies
 Frees the lonesome banshee and his wail
 Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway
 Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave
 Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows
 Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
 Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
