The Serpent & the Dove

Once there was a secret union

A serpent and a dove

Enchanted by their beauty

They found a perfect love

Although the garden was lost to them

They sought a purity

They're shown by the sunlight

A gate into the sea

A home there to be

There they lived beyond all reason

Acquainted by their dreams

But one in true affection

Their souls would be redeemed

The dolphin song

Fell sweetly on their ears

In sacred tears

They called for our saviour

To cast away their fears

They prayed there for years

Once there was a sacred union

A dolphin and a whale

The purity within them

No other could avail

The song incited a peace

Within their frail and gentle ways

They softly embraced us

And sought the souls of sails

They praised us in vain

Once there was a magic union

A beetle and a frog

Their songs were so enchanted

They mystified the fog

Although their singing

Was not the sweetest sound

They called the morning

And bore up a guardianship

On those unborn

Hence, warning

Transcending dreams

There was a frightening union

A sailor and a gun

?

And murdered just for fun

All their laughter

Bore tears to those afraid

They slayed, and dared

That others would seize them

And leave them cold and scared

They wasted

And murdered

They wasted

And orphaned
