I am forever searching high and low 
But why does everybody tell me no 
Neptune of the seas have you an answer for me please 
The lily of the valley doesn't know 

I lie in wait with open eyes 
I carry on through stormy skies 
I follow every 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 - 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 
But the lily of the valley doesn't grow
