I am forever searching high and low
But why does ev´ryone tell me no
Neptune of the seas an answer for me please
The lily of the valley doesn´t know
I lie in wait with open eyes

I carry on thru´ stormy skies
I follow ev´ry 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 and 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?
The lily of the valley doesn´t know
