Neptune of the seas An answer for me please The lily of the valley doesn’t know I lie and wait with open eyes I carry on through stormy skies I follow every course My Kingdom for a Horse But each time I grow ols Serpent of the Nile Relieve me for a while And cast me from you’re 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 For the lily of the valley doesn’t know..
