The Weaver (As Above)
Thread the needle
Uncoil the weft
String the loom so tightly
Watch the shuttle rise and fall
Spindle turns so brightly
Weave the cloak
And weave a tale
Weave a spell
Spin yarn
Make a tapestry of words
The grey-eyed goddess
Wove so true
Wisdom, strength, and battles too
She wove so well
She could not stand
A mortal with a better hand
She turned her into Spider Woman
Spider threads around the world
Silver spins and bloody wins
Glisten in the morning
The sea-borne nymph
And the princess young
The witch who brews
And the wifely one
Patiently wove and then un-wove
Secrets in the evening
Thread the needle
Uncoil the weft
String the loom so tightly
Watch the shuttle rise and fall
Spindle turns so brightly
Weave the cloak
And weave a tale
Weave a spell
Three old sisters
Measure thread
Measure living
And measure dead
They share their light
That second sight
Sealing fate throughout the night
Three faces of the Lady, She
Narrating our Destiny
Spooling cloth and dying wool
Isn't known to suffer fools
Queen of the Gods, a Mother, true
Maiden, Crone, and one who knew
A spindle in the sky's great cloak
Stars and cups, the wheel's fine spokes
Golden strand held for the one
Entering the Twisted Run
A single, red string tied of Fate
To each ankle, for their fate
Fabric, fables, textiles, text
Stitch the story, warp and weft
If he, a Bard, could them regale
There's truth in all the Old Wives' Tales
She saved our lives, hearty and hale
A thousand and one woven tales
Behold, within the Holy Grail
Incandescent Old Wives' Tales
Thread the needle
Uncoil the weft
String the loom so tightly
Watch the shuttle rise and fall
Spindle turns so brightly
Weave a cloak
And weave a tale
Weave a spell
Spin yarns
Make a tapestry of words
Embroidering the earth's green mantle
Knitting by the light of a candle
Pick herbs in the afternoon
Dance in circles for the Moon
Make a tapestry of Words
Make a tapestry of Worlds
Make a tapestry with Seams
Showing all of us our Dreams
Dance in circles for the moon
Embroidering the earth's green mantle
Make a tapestry of Words
Make a tapestry of Worlds
Make a tapestry with Seams
Showing all of us our Dreams
Uncoil the weft
String the loom so tightly
Watch the shuttle rise and fall
Spindle turns so brightly
Weave the cloak
And weave a tale
Weave a spell
Spin yarn
Make a tapestry of words
The grey-eyed goddess
Wove so true
Wisdom, strength, and battles too
She wove so well
She could not stand
