Lyrics

The preacher said a prayer
Save ev'ry single hair on his head
He's dead

The minister of hate had just arrived too late, to be spared
Who cared?
The weaver in the web that he made!

The pilgrim wandered in
Commiting ev'ry sin that he could
So good..

The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved
From the grave
The weaver in the web that he made!

The high priest took a blade
To bless the ones that prayed
And all obeyed

The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time
A sign
The weaver in the web that he made!

A bishops rings a bell
A cloak of darkness fell across the ground
Without a sound!

The silent choir sing and in their silence
Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground
The weaver in the web that he made!
