Drink of Black, Thread of Gold

Drink of black and thread of gold;
Of these things you have been told;
Brings back youth and strength of old;
Watch the lives of all unfold.

Angel's strife and devil's bane;
Breath of life and putrid stain;
Purge your mind or go insane;
Hope and love amidst the pain.

Light of Heaven, fires of Hell;
Lies to spread and truth to tell;
All have won; all have fell;
Blood that saves and souls that sell.

Demon horde and heavenly host;
Father, Son and Holy Ghost;
Cherubim sings and Thanatos boasts;
Which one will you love the most?

Drink of black and thread of gold;
Of these things you have been told;
Brings back youth and strength of old;
Watch the lives of all unfold.
