The Drink

Wine, whine, whine
Strong drink
Water, bother, bother
Weak life

Those ancient demons
Whispering in my ear
The oldest poison
Taking away my fear

Vodka, little water
Whiskey, water of life
Beer, grain of the earth
Wine, the blood of my wife

Those old spirits
Strengthen my arms
Quicken my heart
My soul is warm

Warm yet oblivious
Dumb yet rebellious
Wise yet delirious
Brave yet anxious
