Intro:
E minorEm
Up until one century ago there lived
E minorEm B minorBm
In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country
B minorBm
A augmentedA glass-like spider
Having devoured its prey
E minorEm G+G
It would drape the skeletons over its web
A augmentedA B minorBm
In weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains
Its web was also unique, in that it had many layers
B minorBm C majorC B minorBm
Like floors in a building
B minorBm
At the top of this palace-like place
E minorEm
Assembled with almost apparent care
E minorEm
Were tiny, shining objects
E minorEm
Glass, beads, dewdrops
G+G C majorC
One could almost call it an altar
G+G
When the breeze blew through this construction
B minorBm
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
C majorC FF
Tiny wails, tiny cries
E minorEm
The baby spiders would get scared
And search frantically for their mother
B minorBm
But the glass spider would have long gone
Having known that the babies
B minorBm
Would survive somehow on their own
E minorEm
Oh, the glass spider had blue eyes almost like a human's
FF
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries
