[Music by Adam Cook; Lyrics by C.S. Lewis]
[Original Poem by C.S. Lewis]
Dei Nostri Templum Corpum Est
I am Nature, the Mighty Mother,
I am the law: ye have none other.
I am the flower and the dewdrop fresh,
I am the lust in your itching flesh.
I am the battle's filth and strain,
I am the widow's empty pain.
I am the sea to smother your breath,
I am the bomb, the falling d**h.
I am the fact and the crushing reason
To thwart your fantasy's new-born treason.
I am the spider making her net,
I am the beast with jaws blood-wet.
I am a wolf that follows the sun,
And I will catch him ere day be done.
[couplet by R. Michael Cook:]
I am Satan, accuser accursed.
Heed not my words, I was not first.
