According to Judee Sill, at the BBC Recordings, between 1972-1973:
Actually, I always wanted to write a song about good winning over evil, you know. So I thought that will be a good idea because songs like The Nursery Rhyme and The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon, you know.
[Verse 1]
Once I heard a serpent remark
"If you try to evoke the spark
You can fly through the dark
With a red midnight raven to rule the battleground"
[Chorus 1]
So I drew my sword and got ready
But the lamb ran away with the crown
So I drew my sword and got ready
But the lamb ran away with the crown
[Verse 2]
Though the beast within me's a liar
He made me glow with a strange desire
And I rode on the fire
With a blue sacred opal to bless the battleground
[Chorus 2]
But I turned to see its reflection
And the lamb ran away with the crown
But I turned to see its reflection
And the lamb ran away with the crown
[Verse 3]
Once a demon lived in my brow
I screamed and wailed and I cursed out loud
And I sailed through the clouds
On ten crested cardinals to guard my battleground
[Chorus 3] (repeat to fade out)
But I laughed so hard I cried
And the lamb ran away with the crown
But I laughed so hard I cried
And the lamb ran away with the crown
The Lamb Ran Away With the Crown was written by Judee Sill.
