Running Wild

Album:

Under Jolly Roger

Since the day he heard about the chest 
He's so wild he can't get no rest 
A million diamonds blinding his eyes 
Brighter than fire but colder than ice 


Sweat on his brow, greed burns his mind 
Hands like claws, his teeth always grind 
Soaked by sweat he wakes up and screams 
"Oh, no, it was only a dream" 


Diamonds, diamonds 
Diamonds of the black chest 


Years and years he sought that chest 
He runs most every risk, the man's obsessed 
For 10 years he's roamed all the lands 
To feel the diamonds in his hands 


He finds the hallowed spot, breaking its lock 
He opens the gate which is carved of rock 
Finding the chest he exults and screams 
"Oh, yeah, it's no dream" 


Diamonds, diamonds 
Diamonds of the black chest 


He holds out his hands and he touches the chest 
He breaks its seal, he disturbs its rest 
Curious and slow he opens the lid 
He stares over the edge, what he sees he can't grip 


No diamonds but he sees his own face 
A possessed wreck with an empty gaze 
Thrilled by madness he's dying in pain 
"No dream, he's insane" 


Diamonds, diamonds 
Diamonds of the black chest
