The Spider And The Lamps

(album: Razia's Shadow: A Musical - 2008)

[The Spider (Max Bemis):]
So you're Ahrima,
Nice to finally meetcha,
Heard so much about you,
And I hope it's all true.
I saw what they did,

[Ahrima (Thomas Dutton):]
Yes, such arrogance!

[The Spider:]
I'm the Spider,
Crawl inside her!

[Speaking]
I'm gonna show you this once,
And then you're gonna do it!

[Singing]
You have a special gift,
But they still treat you like you're a kid.
It must hurt so bad,
With a knife in you're back...

Oh, oh, ohhhh...

They don't understand,
This is their last chance,
No more idle hands,
You'll destroy the lamps.
Then they'll know,
Whose in control...

Brings those lamps back to me,
Don't leave them in once piece,
Make sure there's a crowd,
Then tear them to the ground!

Brings those lamps back to me,
Don't leave them in once piece,
It's your chance for revenge!
This'll show them!

[Speaking]
Now it's your turn,
Come on!
Like you mean it!

[Ahrima (Thomas Dutton):]
I have a special gift,
But they still treat me like I'm a kid.
It hurts so bad,
With a knife in your back.

Oh, oh, ohhh...

They don't understand,
This is their last chance,
No more idle hands,
I'll destroy the lamps,
Then they'll know,
Whose in control.

[Spider:]
They can't stop you,
Bring those lamps back to me,
Go now!
Don't stop!

They underestimate you and your gift!

[Spider and Ahrima:]
Tear those lamps to the ground!
Let them cry their eyes out!
Tear those lamps to the ground!
Let them hear the sound!

[Instrumental]

[The Narrator (Aaron Weiss):]
[Speaking]
The seed had been sown.
Now the evil would grow...his keen
Young veins were ripe for this aim.
So Ahrima set forth to
Use the lamps as a torch,
And with everyone around,
He tore them to the ground!
And suddenly, without warning,
Their creation was burning!
Their design, ignited!
All that hard work, slighted!
So Toba the Tura was sent to
Hold Ahrima responsible for his mess,
To ban him to this fiery abyss!

While the remaining found a new place to live.
