Flint & silver serpents,
ignite, ignite,
twist into the night
to flames that purify,
drag, drag the lights,
sturm und drang,
light too bright
for mirror-scales,
scales of white,
writhe, writhe
into the night,
into the blackest
night.
Strike an ember,
flint & steel,
burn the roots down
in the dirt,
sully, sully, those unclean,
whitest lightning sear,
split the trees,
serpents' fork,
darkness deep & blazing,
& forget not
the ones who lost
their minds in muddy
mazing.
