The Serpent & Chalice Revised

[Instrumental intro] [Cinematic strings, Deep bass] [Verse] In old Ireland, where tales weave and wind, A sage shared a story of kind. Of a serpent’s gold flow, Vital rhythm to know, And the power within it confined. [Adagio] [Instrumental interlude] [Strings, Deep bass] [Diminuendo] This serpent held golden delight, Released daily to keep balance right. But with venom so white, If misused in the night, It drained strength, turning bright into blight. [Berceuse] [Quiet interlude] [Spoken word] [Ethereal voice 1] “The serpent,” the sage did proclaim, “Must be treated with honor, not shame. [Ethereal voice 2] For its venom, when spilled, Leaves a man weak and chilled, Losing vigor and spiritual flame.” [Accelerando] [Largo, atmospheric] [Verse] Yet this venom, when met with the chalice, A golden vessel held by woman, void of malice, Transforms to liquid light, Creation’s spark in the night, Bringing forth life with a brilliance so bright. [Violin melody] [Instrumental interlude] [Spoken word] [Voice 1] “In the chalice of woman so pure, The venom turns to light to ensure, [Voice 2] A bright flash of light, New life’s pure delight, Creation’s true path will endure.” [Instrumental interlude] [Spoken word] “Disrespect the serpent,” he warned clear, “And dark forces will soon draw near. They feed on the waste, Turning life into haste, Bringing harm, drawing souls into fear.” [Accelerando] [Crescendo] [Verse] So the villagers learned from the lore, To respect the serpent’s core. With the chalice held high, Under heaven’s pure sky, Balance and life would restore. [Berceuse] [Adagio] [Instrumental interlude] [Strings, Deep bass, Violin] [Bridge] “Treat the serpent with honor,” he said, “And let the chalice transform white instead. In this balance you’ll find, Creation aligned, And the soul forever fed.” [Crescendo 2] [Diminuendo] [Syncopated instrumental interlude] [Berceuse] [END] [Accelerando] [Crescendo] In this old Irish land of delight, The wisdom passed down in the night. Keep the serpent in place, With respect and grace, And let Christ’s love shine ever bright. [Berceuse] [Adagio] [Instrumental interlude] [Strings, Deep bass, Violin] [Bridge] In this balance you’ll find, Creation aligned, And the soul forever fed. [Crescendo 2] [Diminuendo] [Syncopated instrumental interlude] [Berceuse] [END] [END] [Silence] [END] [END]
