The Viper's Bite - album track

In Modern Love we spend our nights
Alone, aside, the vipers bite
The offered hand brings cold surprise
The waking tears, the poison eyes

Drink silence long, crave innocence
Bring love once strong, but faded since
Think feelings reconstructed so
Sing feelings lost to others go

"She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender night
Which heaven to gaudy day denies
A heart whose love is innocent"

Come arrows rain, and tear through flesh
Come wounds converge, the more to bless
Come transcendental pain to share
Come peace at last, come wedded care

The dream concludes, scales fall away
As night deludes, truth follows day
So help us learn how silence speaks
Come fire to clean desperate weak

"She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender night
Which heaven to gaudy day denies
A heart whose love is innocent"
