Lyrics: C. S. Lewis
Music: AI

(Verse1)
I have come back with victory got,
But stand away, touch me not.,
Even with your clothes, I burn red hot.

The worm was bitter, when she saw,
My shield glitter beside the shaw,
She spat flame from her golden jaw.

(chorus)
Behemoth is my serving man!
Before the conquered hosts of Pan,
Riding tamed Leviathan.

Loud I sing for well I can,
RESVRGAM and Io PAEAN,
Io, Io, Io, PAEAN!

Now I know the stake I played for,
Now I know what a worm"s made for.

(verse2)
When on my sword her vomit spilt,
The blade took fire, On the hilt,
Beryl cracked, and bubbled gilt.

When sword and sword arm were all flame,
With the very heat that came,
Out of the brute, I flogged her tame.

(chorus)

In her own spew the worm died,
I rolled her round and tore her wide,
And plucked the heart from her boiling side.

When my teeth were in heart,
I felt a pulse within me start,
As though my breast would break apart.

(chorus)
Behemoth is my serving man!
Before the conquered hosts of Pan,
Riding tamed Leviathan.

Loud I sing for well I can,
RESVRGAM and Io PAEAN,
Io, Io, Io, PAEAN!

Now I know the stake I played for,
Now I know what a worm"s made for.

It shook the hills and made them reel,
And spun the woods round like a wheel,
The grass singed where I set my heel.

Loud I sing for well I can,
RESVRGAM and Io PAEAN,
Io, Io, Io, PAEAN!

Now I know the stake I played for,
Now I know what a worm"s made for.
