The serpent's voice

I hold a fragile butterfly
With wondrous iridescent wings
Crush it! Crush it now
we have no need of pretty things.
I hold a perfumed damask rose
with petals of the deepest pink
Crush it! Crush it now
I cannot stand its stink.
I hold a songbird in a cage
that sings its longing to be free
Crush it! Crush it now
Freedoms not for you and me.
I hold nothing in my hand
and naught but emptiness conceal
Embrace it! Embrace it now
Its not for us to think or feel.
I hold a snow-white dove
that died because it flew too high
Learn the lesson! Learn it well
And so shall all ambition die.
Tis better to have no hopes or dreams
than have those dreams awoken
Tis better to have a heart of stone
than have a heart thats broken.
