Since then he heard about the chest
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
