lyrics

Lair Of The Snow Spider

there are domains so deep
that no one will tread
so dark that they are blind
in these dank places
the air is still and
sound is soft and mute

into this darkness
snow falls
settling in the nooks
and crannies
dusting the branches
with its ice grasp

can you hear it
the soft sly scuttle
of a many legged thing
making its way
towards the bright
glazed canopy

spinning its web
of gossamer thread
between limbs
around trunks
across the path
of unwary travellers

until
beneath a false light
cast from white
reflective surfaces
the lair of the snow spider
is complete

and there
she lays
in wait
for
the human
fly
