Arachne's Song - Dyonisis

I might be strong but I am all threads

And I hold myself together with a web

And you pick the strands apart

Everyone unravels just a bit in the dark

A gossamer ruse…

Recoil from the colours you unmask

Fool to meddle with the scaffold of the heart

I play dead when I feel under threat

When awake, I’m my own marionette

I may be fragile, fighting through

But they say silk is bulletproof

I may be frightened facing you

Still I spin out sideways from the truth

A gossamer ruse…

I swing between the flower and the thorn

Hang resplendent with the diamonds of the morn

Then I wait to trap you in delight

Sudden does dawn’s wander sicken down into night

A gossamer ruse…

And sudden do my colours re-appear

And you cry out as I’m crawling ever near

Time’s too late to allow old regrets

I devoured those that I loved the best

I may be fragile, fighting through

But they say silk is bulletproof

I may be frightened facing you

Still I spin out sideways from the truth

A gossamer ruse…
