lyrics

A Spider in My Mouth (M/L: Capetto)

The birds of hades had alighted
On her shoulders once again
Stealing all her sweetness and light
At the point where the torture began

The burden of loneliness
To a saint about to fall
Living inside an hourglass
Where time eternally stands
But it's not the same for all.

They had buried crows alive
As the demons who never grow old
With cruelty through their lies
They locked her in a cage of gold

In a heart of solitude
Silence comes when she would scream
Embittered tears sprouting from her eyes
Rolling down her skin
With self-injuries.

Rejected child without love
Losing the brightness of her fate
A silent mourning of a dove
In a wood full of traps and snakes

She was being sent to her death
Silently, she could not cry
And feeling guilty for her weakness
Found a way to forget:
She just wanted to die!

She has a spider in her mouth
I don't know, what can I do?
Therefore I'm here and I need to ask:
What would you do
If you could walk in her shoes?
