Behind the Spider's Web Lyrics
At the last on the flight from the [road]
behind the spider’s web in the cave
I’m sure that Mary stopped to be a saint
But before she did she prayed
And the spider spun its web
to safe the holy family’s bed
in this rough and fearful night
wherever soldiers march in step
was heard a mother’s cry
”The baby boys must die”
”The baby boys must die”
Lord, I gave birth to your son
But I feel somehow betrayed
Cause I was sleeping as you did it to me
when I woke up you were away
Without having been my lover
You are my child’s father
I’d rather become mother the other way
Joseph’s holding [? and warm?]
to smooth down sorrow and fear
and now that all the fear has gone
a new tremendous feeling’s growing
Lord, you’ve filled mankind with lust
so I guess it’s within your design
that my pure body needs to be touched
At the last on the flight from the [road]
behind the spider’s web in the cave
I’m sure that Mary stopped to be a saint
And the Lord turned a blind eye
And the Lord turned a blind eye
behind the spider’s web in the cave
I’m sure that Mary stopped to be a saint
But before she did she prayed
And the spider spun its web
to safe the holy family’s bed
in this rough and fearful night
wherever soldiers march in step
was heard a mother’s cry
”The baby boys must die”
”The baby boys must die”
But I feel somehow betrayed
Cause I was sleeping as you did it to me
when I woke up you were away
Without having been my lover
You are my child’s father
I’d rather become mother the other way
to smooth down sorrow and fear
and now that all the fear has gone
a new tremendous feeling’s growing
so I guess it’s within your design
that my pure body needs to be touched
behind the spider’s web in the cave
I’m sure that Mary stopped to be a saint
And the Lord turned a blind eye
And the Lord turned a blind eye
