Lyrics

i’m a worm in peopleclothes;
disjointed are my bones
with bits of broken heart.
though i’ve tasted of the rain,
murky voices call my name;
creeping through the dark…

lonely wilderness! tried and tempted,
i’ve cried; lamented,
“hie to me my rest!”

away! wily whisperer, leave me be!
onerous and arduous is
your callous company.
O, down you devil! disappear!
you can trick me into tears but
i’ll be laughing when you sneer.
oh dear, you’re toothless!

hard pressed on every side,
i won’t be crushed nor terrified;
these lies: your native tongue!
my outward man is perishing
yet inward wells a wondrous Spring,
as all my death’s undone!

lonely wilderness! tried and tempted,
i’ve cried; lamented,
“hie to me my rest!”

away! wily whisperer, leave me be!
onerous and arduous is
your callous company.
O, down you devil! disappear!
you can trick me into tears but
i’ll be laughing when you sneer.
oh dear, you’re toothless!

pallid prince of death, though
you jibe and jeer and jest,
it’s sure the war is won! you’re powerless!
faithfully i’m kept
and, upon my final breath,
in lieu anew i’ll breathe in Glory dressed!

away! wily whisperer, leave me be!
onerous and arduous is
your callous company.
O, down you devil! disappear!
you can trick me into tears but
i’ll be laughing when you sneer.
oh dear, you’re toothless!
