One last victory

Blackened sky

Cold damp breeze

My heart sunk like a stone


A dragon's tongue

and yellow eyes

Before it I stood alone


Without a sword

Or a place to hide

My nakedness was revealed


what terrible fate

what ghastly end

my courage would be annealed


between me and it

a whiskers breadth

and the confidence in my God


That I alone

And my true heart

Would get the victory nod


Sickness is

Like cancerous fright

The serpent that swallows life


But conquer fear

And live in faith

In death is found no strife


Trust the Son

the warming breeze

I leave this life alone


I hold my tongue

Close my eyes

Yes… I’m going home
