Anon

Love bears a serpent high on holy cross
From whence came loss
Flags of the prophet wave in a bromide march
Chromium dust
Hymns stay wrong from
A cheap funerary arch
Impatient though I am
As your servant I'll breathe fire
What had fools stand
Stand, said I
More than I, more than I can fight
'Cause I won't find or deny
Love bears a serpent high
Love bears a serpent high

Great stands the burden
Pour to leaden soul
A cast wind blown
Stoned out of Eden, storied on every road
To where one's known
Mists will gather
Round our tears and tine
As auspicious this form of life
It makes prodigious this past due eye
What had fools stand
Stand, said I
More than I, more than I can fight
'Cause I won't find or deny
Love bears a serpent high
Love bears a serpent high
Love bears a serpent high
