Running Wild - Diamonds Of The Black Chest lyrics

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 too many years he's roamed all the lands

To feel the diamonds in his hands

He find the hallow 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 seals, 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 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
