In League With Others

I am in league with the roses, Petals askew in a scarlet conspiracy Oh I am in league with the roses, Swaying along in this lover’s confederacy; I’m in league with the devils, A mob together raging alight I’m in league with the devils, Our very breaths fanning our damned plight; And with the clouds I have marched abreast, Bringing storm and heavens in tow For amongst the clouds I have marched abreast, Purpose seeded in the sky to grow; I am a hire sword in league with grander designs, Through all of which I am never prone Yes, I am a hireling in league with foreign designs, Happy that I am never still to stand alone.
