lirik lagu arcane knots – a song for the web – daughterofprospero
we of mother’s busy ilk
weave heartstrings as well as silk
little tugs so keen and deft
bind our warp unto your weft
strands hung disparately to start
we join into works of art
arcane knots a spider ties
can’t be understood by flies
skitter you children of machiavelli, the florentine master of marionettes
hint at your varied implied machinations in only the vaguest of false silhouettes
follow the precepts of cunning anansi: spin tales so mesmeric that none are immune
thread made of flattery oft goes unnoticed ‘til after your quarry’s within their cocoon
laud the provocative wiles of jorōgumo, a fatal addiction her victims adore
though they are warned of her gossamer ribbons, they disregard danger and come back for more
kneel before mythical mutant arachne, whose tapestry ended where webbing began
thousands of years painted her as one punished but maybe that change was all part of her plan
‘will you walk into my parlour?’, said the spider to the eye
and he sat there for a little, never thinking to ask why
as the storied spools wound round him he recorded what he knew
but his burden felt no lighter as his field of vision grew
only now is he beginning to clear cobwebs from his mind
and behold the simulation with which he is intertwined
a world of his own making in an ever*witnessed state
where the audience waits eagerly for him to meet his fate
