Glorior Belli - Serpentine Admonition Lyrics
Ashes of malice remain in this liturgyAnd you cherish mysteries of my body & blood.At morn, at noon, at twilight dim;Lucifer, Thou hast heard my hymn!When storms of fate overcastAnd clouds reveal a shredded sky,Through all energy I feel,Lucifer, be with me still.Thus, in discourse, villains whiled awayThe 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!
