[Verse 1]
G
Love bears a serpent high on holy cross
G
From whence came loss
G
Flags of the prophet wave in a bromide march
    G
Of chromium dusk
C
Hymns stay wronged from
C
A cheap funerary arch
  G              C
Impatient though I am
         B             Em
As your servant I’ll breathe fire

[Pre Chorus]
C         Dsus
Once had fools stand
            Em
Stand, said I
           G B
More than I
                 Em
More than I can fight
       G       B              Em
'Cause I won’t find more than I 

[Chorus 1]
 C            B       Em Dsus
Love bears our serpent high
 C
Love bears our serpent high

[Verse 2]
G
Great stands the burden
G
Poor to leaden soul
G
Our cast windblown
G
Stoned out of Eden, storied on every road
G
To where, once known
C
Mysts would gather
C
'Round our tears and tide
      G                     C
As auspicious this form of life
            B                     Em
It makes prodigious these paths to I

[Pre Chorus]
C         Dsus
Once had fools stand
            Em
Stand, said I
      G B
More than I
                 Em
More than I can fight
       G       B             Em
'Cause I won’t find more than I

[Chorus 2]
 C            Dsus       Em Dsus
Love bears our serpent high
 C            B       Em Dsus
Love bears our serpent high
 C
Love bears our serpent high
