I Am the Lizard King

Sounds of the Fire
(whistles, rattlesnakes, castanets)

I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
I can make the earth stop in its tracks
I made the blue cars go away.

For seven years I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile,
Playing strange games
With the girls of the island.

Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise.


Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
Oh children of the night
Who among you will run with the hunt?


Now night arrives with her purple legion.
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams.
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth.
I want to be ready.

A poem written by Jenna Young for The Lizard King.
