Lyrics

“Spiders of Time”

Standing on the tightrope, rocking back and forth
We are the spiders of time
Peering out carefully over the abyss
See the lights weak yet sublime
Each point is a lifetime, near and far
Across the reaches of time
We walk down the threads, slowly back and forth
We are the spiders of time

Never looking back
Seers one and all
They told of rise
And history’s fall

The prophets looked forward and saw what they could
Brought it back for all to see
Hard for them to describe, they did what they could
For their visions of time yet to be
They saw down the dark halls of time yet to come
And saw visions plains and clear
Told us what they saw and where it came from
Tried not to fire up our fear

Standing on the tightrope, rocking back and forth
We are the spiders of time
Peering out carefully over the abyss
See the lights weak yet sublime
Each point is a lifetime, near and far
Across the reaches of time
We walk down the threads, slowly back and forth
We are the spiders of time

The keepers of the past could send us back
Way beyond our very first day
Past the light of birth and through the black
To the dim light of a lost last day
Life after life, darkness and light
Black mixed with the grey
Loves won and lost, battles to fight
A glimpse then it went away




Never looking forward
Past life seers
Marvel at the lights
Calm our fears

Standing on the tightrope, rocking back and forth
We are the spiders of time
Peering out carefully over the abyss
See the lights weak yet sublime
Each point is a lifetime, near and far
Across the reaches of time
We walk down the threads, slowly back and forth
We are the spiders of time

Solo

Standing on the tightrope, rocking back and forth
We are the spiders of time
Peering out carefully over the abyss
See the lights weak yet sublime
Each point is a lifetime, near and far
Across the reaches of time
We walk down the threads, slowly back and forth
We are the spiders of time


One way vision
Voices in the light
Janus divided
Can we put him right?

The flow goes both ways, this we now know
Back and forth in time, a line does go
But a life is only one life, and many are lived
They join where true love does grow
Thus the lines becomes a web, glowing in the dark
Lives joined again and again
Back and forth in time, crossings lives it flows
Through all our joys and pain

Looking back and forth
The spiders do walk
With eye wide open
On this web they stalk


Standing on the tightrope, rocking back and forth
We are the spiders of time
Peering out carefully over the abyss
See the lights weak yet sublime
Each point is a lifetime, near and far
Across the reaches of time
We walk down the threads, slowly back and forth
We are the spiders of time

Spiders of time: Looking back and forth
Spiders of time: many yet few
Spiders of time: Janus vision clear
Spiders of time: far and near

Spiders of time
