Glass Spider |
Up until one century ago there lived, |
in the Zi Duang provence of eastern country. |
A glass-like spider. |
Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web in weeks |
creating a macabre shrine of remains. |
Its web was also unique in that it had many layers, like floors in a buuilding. |
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 thru 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 promise in your lovin' eye. |
God it’s dark now. |
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
Gone, Gone the water’s all gone |
Mummy come back 'cause the water’s all gone |
Stay low on the ground, my fire can drive you, savage and afraid |
Spitting at the dawn, come along before the animals awake |
Run moving all night, rivers to the left. |
If your mother don’t love you then the riverbed might |
Gone, gone, the water’s all gone |
Mummy come back 'cause the water’s all gone |
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
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 |
Gone gone the water’s all gone |
Mummy come back 'cause the water’s all gone |
