Gargoyle

A French dragon came

In the dark age of nightmares'
Death and destruction.

It took the green sword
Of Saint Romain to kill it
Banish its poisons.

Where it fell a spring
Of clear angels' tears gushed forth -
One sip can cleanse the soul.

Now sculpted heads of stone 
Gush rains of heav'n from the roofs
Of sacred places

Wind up the charms within,
Guard against the looming clouds
Of dragons settling from
