Up until one century ago there lived
In the Zi Duang province of eastern country a Glass-like Spider
Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web
In weeks, creating a macabre shrine of remains
Its web was also unique in that it had many layers
Like floors in a building
At the top of this palace-like place,
assembled with almost apparent care,
were tiny, shining objects,
Glass, beads, dew-drops,
One could almost call it an altar.
When the breeze blew through this construction
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
Tiny wails, tiny cries
The baby spiders would get scared
And search frantically for their mother.
But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies
Would survive somehow on their own.
Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like a human's.
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries.
Don't you hear this wasted cry, Life is over you
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell
(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
Take care, take care.
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone.
But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now.
(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
Gone, gone the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Stay low on the ground,
The fire can drive you, savage and afraid
Spitting the dawn, come come
Come along before the animals awake
Gone, Gone the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Run, run, we've been moving all night, river’s to the left.
If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might
Gone, gone, the water's all gone,
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
