Glass Spider

Up until one century ago there lived,

In the Zi Duang province 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 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

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, fire can drive you,

savage and afraid

Spitting the dawn, come come come along

before the animals awake

Run, run, we've been 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
