In the beginning, when the earth was pure,
God’s voice declared, “It is good, secure.”
Eden bloomed with untainted grace,
A holy communion in God’s embrace.
But in the garden, the serpent lay,
Ancient and cunning, biding his prey.
“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field” (Genesis 3:1),
With words like honey, his lies concealed.
He whispered to Eve, “Shall you not eat?
Your eyes shall open, the world complete.”
And so the fall, through disobedience, came,
Sin entered the world and cursed God’s name.
The serpent triumphed, humanity fell,
And through this fall, death’s dark spell.
But God declared, “I will put enmity between you and the woman,
Between her seed and yours; He shall crush your head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Genesis 3:15).
The promise echoed through the ages long,
A Savior would rise to right the wrong.
The serpent grew mighty, a dragon of old,
His reign expanding, fierce and bold.
By the time of Noah, the earth was stained,
“The wickedness of man was great, every intent was evil continually” (Genesis 6:5).
But even the flood could not suffice,
To cleanse the sin from men’s device.
Through Babel’s pride and Egypt’s chains,
The dragon ruled with sin’s remains.
Yet a whisper of hope: through Abraham’s line,
“Through your seed, all nations shall find” (Genesis 22:18),
Blessing, redemption, the Lamb’s decree,
Freedom to all in captivity.
Through the prophets, the vision grew clear,
A virgin would come, Messiah near.
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son,
And His name shall be Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).
And so, the Queen, immaculate and pure,
Came forth to bear God’s promise sure.
The dragon watched with fiery gaze,
As Gabriel spoke in Heaven’s blaze:
“Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee!
Blessed art thou among women” (Luke 1:28).
Her fiat, her “yes,” undid the curse,
Through her came salvation, the universe’s reverse.
Then Christ was born, the Lamb divine,
“Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29).
But the dragon raged, his throne at stake,
And through Herod’s blade, sought lives to take.
Yet the Child was safe in Mary’s care,
Fleeing to Egypt with Joseph there.
“Out of Egypt I called My Son” (Hosea 11:1).
At Calvary’s height, the battle turned,
The Lamb was slain, His body burned.
Yet death could not hold Him, the tomb was bare,
“He is not here, for He is risen!” (Matthew 28:6).
The dragon roared, his power waned,
For Christ the Lamb eternal reigned.
But still the war rages in time and space,
The dragon schemes to destroy God’s grace.
Through sin, corruption, and deceit,
He works to make God’s image incomplete.
“Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!
For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that his time is short” (Revelation 12:12).
Now in modern days, the dragon is bold,
Humanity crumbles as love grows cold.
“Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold” (Matthew 24:12).
He whispers lies in culture’s ear,
Declaring sin is freedom, and virtue mere fear.
The family crumbles, truth is scorned,
The very fabric of life is torn.
Yet in Heaven above, a vision is seen,
A woman crowned, resplendent and keen.
“And a great sign appeared in Heaven:
A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet,
And a crown of twelve stars on her head” (Revelation 12:1).
Mary, the Queen, stands by her Son,
Her battle cry echoes, “The war is not done!”
The dragon lunges with fiery breath,
Seeking to bring the world to death.
But the Queen defends her children in strife,
“Do whatever He tells you,” her words bring life (John 2:5).
Through her intercession, grace flows free,
Regeneration for all who see.
The Lamb prepares His final blow,
“Behold, I am coming quickly!” (Revelation 22:12).
The armies of Heaven, dressed in white,
March with the King in radiant light.
Mary leads with a mother’s grace,
Her heel poised above the dragon’s face.
“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet” (Romans 16:20).
With one mighty strike, the foe’s defeat.
The dragon falls, cast to the fire,
His kingdom ends, his plans expire.
“And the devil, who deceived them,
Was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone” (Revelation 20:10).
From the ashes rises a world renewed,
Regeneration, the earth subdued.
The Lamb reigns as the King of kings,
“Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5), He sings.
And by His side, the Queen resplendent,
Her role revealed, her power transcendent.
For through the Woman, salvation came,
Her fiat, her love, her hallowed name.
And in the end, the victory won,
The Lamb and His Mother stand as one.
Their kingdom eternal, sin erased,
“Blessed are those who wash their robes,
That they may have the right to the tree of life” (Revelation 22:14).
So take heart, O weary soul,
Though the dragon rages, Christ makes whole.
Regeneration shall conquer sin,
The Lamb and the Queen will always win.
