I hold a sword

I hold a sword, with the sign of the snake
The tree, the snake wrapping up
Above the sky, below the see
Ancient souls of the time long ago

Breaking through the silence of night
Being blinded, by the light
In my branches the dawn ripens
Above me, a majestic eagle flies
I was a scarlet bird with a silver beak
The song penetrating the time and space
I was a goat with the horns of ice
Smelling the spices of the forest nymphs

I hold a sword! I hold a sword!
I was a unicorn with a black horse-collar
Holding the cold of the undines
I was a five point star and a sing of bipolar
Watching the dance of the virgins

Rivers and streams, all greater than me
Living in the crystal caves of the mind
Rocks and stones, all greater than me
Gnarled celestial oak, voices from behind
I hold a sword! I hold a sword!
I was a unicorn with a black horse-collar
Holding the cold of the undines
I was a five point star and a sing of bipolar
Watching the dance of the virgins

I hold a sword, with the sign of the snake
The tree, the snake wrapping up
Above the sky, below the see
Ancient souls of the time long ago
