I am the Spider Queen
High up in the tower
Night after night I spin
Tales of legends and lovers
Mythical adventures
My web spins around the world
Across forgotten times
When all moved forward
Somehow, I was left behind
Cloaked by books
I love the dragons of Romania
The epic of Ramayana
The White Snake Lady of China
Of Sailendra
Whether it is a Celtic tale
Or that of Mayang Sari
I take you far away
To lands of marvelry
Land of make belief?
Spin, spin day and night
Just like Shaherazad
Fantasy takes flight
Lost within fiction and fact
I am the storyteller.
Or that of Mayang Sari
I take you far away
To lands of marvelry
Land of make belief?
Spin, spin day and night
Just like Shaherazad
Fantasy takes flight
Lost within fiction and fact
I am the storyteller.
