Swallowing Spiders Lyrics

Early in the morning and in the mist
When the tide comes in and conditions exist
If the moon is right, you can stand right beside her and
Gaze upon them as they swallow down the spiders
Ghoulish apparitions of women
Long dead, grey and glowing - much thinner
Vengeful. On the shoreline
Eyes are trancelike. Hands are full of spiders
Watch them laugh as they eat. At their feet, foaming water
Incomplete, missing teeth, flaking skin
Wretched seahag. Boiling the pools of saltwater
The vapor in my sinuses awaken me
Their voices take the place of the pressure in my head
Walking forward, I leave the land behind
And slip below the shallows in their silence
I can hear the rolling waves
A chorus of their voices call to me
Undertow pulls me down, an embrace from the gravity of water
Lured here by the longing voice
Of a dead man's wife and daughters
