Lyrics The Weaver (As Above) - Deborah Stokol

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
