I am forever searching high and low But why does everybody tell me no Neptune of the seas an answer for me please The lily of the valley doesn't know I lie in wait with open eyes I carry on thru' stormy skies I follow ev'ry course my kingdom for a horse But each time I grow old Serpent of the Nile relieve me for a while And cast me from your spell and let me go Messenger from seven seas has flown To tell the king of Rhye he's lost his throne Wars will never cease Is there time enough for peace? The lily of the valley doesn't know From distant lands he rises once more With banners raised, his heart forlorn A crown to claim again Guardians of old Stands beside the fold To lift him to his seat where he belongs In corridors of time he fades away No heir to hold his scepter's sway A kingdom left to chance Memories of old Written in the cold A Legend still retold Through the winds of change The winds of fate have turned A legacy unlearned Ogre Battle's call No heir to stand tall To wield the scepter, save them all
