Serpent River

Here on the shore, my wish came true

Here in the mud that dries to clay

Across the forks of coursing blue

And twisting spirits in the spray

I found a strength like Jericho

my voice rang out like battlecry

And soon a chorus joined the flow

commanding unclean spirits fly

Our verdict wove a tapestry

Rebuke the foe with holy thread

The mountain’s echo our decree

Go unto the fire instead

A serpent coiled in the sun

It’s life is spent, and missed by none
