The Spider's Thread Lyrics

In total darkness, slime is the air that I breathe

The stifled choking of sinners is all that I hear

Forever drowning, clawing for life in a bloody sea

But after ages, I feel something new to be near



A thread in the blackness above!



I start the climbing, pulling myself up the thread

Unto the heavens, hand over hand to a great salvation

Up many miles, the Mountain of Needles is small down

below

My arms grow tired, ascending the silk to escape

damnation



Looking down, I see a line

A thousand sinners close behind

Return to hell

This thread is mine!

(snap)



Oh! Can I ever hope to recover?

Back into the sea

The heaving depths of my misery



No! Can I hope again to discover

A thread to set me free

To end the torture of history?
