Take up Serpents Lyrics by Dorthia Cottrell

Death Folk Country

0

I've come to the mountains to prove my faith
To drown in the cool stream of God's love
I've come from afar to show my face
To suffer in the ways that please you
I've built a house with more holes than lace
And a rose to place inside it
Will it live? Will it die? Will it leave no trace
To tell the world about you?
I know there must be a saving grace
Or a crone with a bone who could find you
I'd kiss the mouth of a thousand snakes
Just to lay myself beside you
Here in this land is a sacred place
How the heavens hang above it
Give up your blood and I will have a taste
And keep your word, Beloved
My love is caught in a weeping haze
A thorn in a widow's cradle
The son is calling, he knows my name
And I'll meet him when I'm able
