Glass Spider

Up until one century ago there lived

In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country

A glass-like spider

Having devoured it's prey it would drape the skeletons over it's web

In weeks creating a macabre

Shrine of remains

Its web was also unique in that it had many layers

Like floors of a building

At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with almost apparent care

Were tiny, shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops

One could almost call it an altar

When the breeze blew through this construction

It produced sounds of wailing, crying

Tiny wails, tiny cries

The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically for their mother

But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies

Would survive somehow on their own

Oh, the Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like a human's

They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries

Don't you hear this wasted cry?

Life is over you

(Mummy, come back 'cause the water's all gone)

But you've seen who's in heaven

Is there anyone in hell?

(Mummy, come back 'cause it's dark now)

Take care, take care

(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)

Somewhere she glows divine

Somewhere she wakes alone

But you, you've promised

In your loving eye

God, It's dark now!

Gone, gone the water's all gone

Mummy, come back

'Cause the water's all gone

Stay low on the ground, the fire can drive you savage and afraid

Spitting off the dawn, come along before the animals awake

Gone, gone the water's all gone

Mummy, come back 'cause it's dark now

Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left

If your Mamma don't love you then the riverbed might

Gone, gone, the water's all gone

Mummy, come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone, gone the water's all gone

Mummy, come back 'cause the water's all gone
