Serpentine Admonition - Glorior Belli

Ashes of malice remain in this liturgy

And you cherish mysteries of my body & blood

At morn, at noon, at twilight dim;

Lucifer, Thou hast heard my hymn!

When storms of fate overcast

And clouds reveal a shredded sky

Through all energy I feel

Lucifer, be with me still

Thus, in discourse, villains whiled away

The night that waned & brought no day

They entered my severed heart & reach into my bones

O, wherever your image may be

Nothing shall block my way

Thou hast bound many eyes but the strains still arise!

Groan with the ashes of lamentation

In all grief-stricken mourning and bitter complaint

Lucifer, Thou hast heard my hymn!

Play on the zither of salvation & the harp of misery

On the tabors of prayer and the pipe of praise without end!
