Serpent of Dreams - Set 1 (Live)

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
