In the Footsteps of the Lizard King

i havent followed them yet
but i will explore his path through the flowers
his garden growing fresh with exotic specimen
he slithers to my ears and his hiss is my music
a long passed career of conspiracy

he walks among us still 
on the beaches with a silver moon
living in the caves of or souls

finding refuge from a critical world 
in the small caverns of records and tapes
they say he sold his soul
but didnt they all?

dont get me wrong this isnt sympathy 
just respect for a fallen king
he slithers still 
and he tells tales of passed loves
