The Spider Queen

(Herzig)

The palace gates are to the east

Beyond the jousting green

A garden greets you soft and sweet

Where lark and songbird sing

Fair maidens take you by the arm

And promise pure delight

They say their mistress would be pleased

To dine with you tonight

Opulence and majesty

Encompass and surround

Perfection is the picture here

None better can be found

You're brought into her chamber

Confection for the eyes

Exquisite is her countenace

But what do eyes believe

She's a deceiver

A spinner of lies

She's a soul stealer

She'll consume your mind

She's a flesh eater

She'll feast on your cries

Evil Conceiver

All mankind's demise

She's not what she seems

A weaver of dreams

A haze of beauty hides

The horror and the dread

Sweet perfume will mask the smell

Of countless rotting dead

You'll long to be her lover

And join her in her bed

Awake to find it's feeding time

Entrapped in spider's web

Her lair is a cave

Where 10, 000 corpses lay

While she's tended by her minions

Who've become unwilling slaves

You will dance with her tonight

In a web of false delight

She'll reveal herself to you

The Spider Queen!

There is no escape

Don't suffer my fate

She's not what she seems

A weaver of dreams

Behind beauty lies

A monster of horror

In lovely disguise

She's not what she seems

A reaper of screams

She hungers for flesh

Enchanting Deceiver

Seductress of Death

You'll never be king

Believe what I've seen

She's not what she seems

A weaver of dreams

Behind beauty lies

A monster of horror

In lovely disguise

She's not what she seems

A reaper of screams

She hungers for flesh

Enchanting Deceiver

Seductress of Death
