Diamonds Of The Black Chest

Since the day he heard about the chestHe's so wild he can't get no restA million diamonds blinding his eyesBrighter than fire but colder than iceSweat on his brow, greed burns his mindHands like claws, his teeth always grindSoaked by sweat he wakes up and screams"Oh, no, it was only a dream"Diamonds, diamondsDiamonds of the black chestYears and years he sought that chestHe runs most every risk, the man's obsessedFor 10 years he's roamed all the landsTo feel the diamonds in his handsHe finds the hallowed spot, breaking its lockHe opens the gate which is carved of rockFinding the chest he exults and screams"Oh, yeah, it's no dream"Diamonds, diamondsDiamonds of the black chestHe holds out his hands and he touches the chestHe breaks its seal, he disturbs its restCurious and slow he opens the lidHe stares over the edge, what he sees he can't gripNo diamonds but he sees his own faceA possessed wreck with an empty gazeThrilled by madness he's dying in pain"No dream, he's insane"Diamonds, diamondsDiamonds of the black chest
