A Serpent am I in a Timeless Sea,
Beware ! Beware !
Eternity nursed me at her knee,
Take Care ! Take Care !
I bathe all night in the 'Ocean' Space,
I rule the Stars; their course I trace,
I hurl the Comets, I set their pace,
The Planets exist by MY good grace.
Beware ! Beware !
A Snake am I, with a deadly bite,
Take Care ! Take Care !
For I was born of the wild, wild Night,
Beware ! Beware !
Infinity cradled me in her womb,
To curse the Atmosphere with gloom,
O Earthlings, there's no room, no room,
Go back, before you meet your doom.
Take Care ! Take Care !
