The Dream Weaver


Music:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrJW33JkVlM&feature=BFa&list=AL94UKMTqg-9D5mYyiAH1pjmlixub_HGKf&lf=list_related (Afro Celt Sound System - Eireann) Just so you know, the language in the song is gaelic

The footsteps of the Giant had stopped
Lumbering trod
Smashing
Crashing

Only to be replaced
By sharp points
Of a spider’s silent crawl
Sudden pulse
As pointed legs
Made unexpected and sudden sharp moves
With surprising accuracy

So it goes

She was a weaver
A weaver of dreams
With seductive moves
Elegant deadly
She would pepper her tapestry
From remnants of truths
She knew her buyer wanted to see
Selling in truth nothing
But taking everything

Her dream weaving had a cost though
For in order for her to weave
It cost everything
And took nothing

But only after it had cost everything

She had a partner
In her weaving
Supposedly at least

They were never seen
Never to be seen
For that was too much truth
For her tapestry
But an excuse was ready
Someone would have to be sick
Always sick

Once they had together worked on a tapestry
But the foundation was wrong
It was said to have a leak
Although it was never really clear
If something was leaking out
Or in
They got in trouble
She got off
Like I said, she was a weaver
A weaver of dreams

How did he know?
For he was a weaver as well

His flowing fabric was built on lies
This he would freely admit
Visions of what should be
Visions of what could be
Desires called to life
 
For it was only by using these
That held images glorious
As precious
As fragile
As it was victorious
Raw images presented the primal
Truth could emerge
A strong child of great fortitude could be born

Perhaps his fabric
Was too brazen
Too savage
To be of any use to her
He knew he had not played fair
For he had played her game
The game she had taught him all too well
About the importance of the reveal
So he revealed too little
For her to use

Perhaps this is why
She threw his truth back at him
And quickly travelled to the eyes
Of another potential purchaser
To buy her woven gossamer

So it goes
For after all
She was a weaver
A weaver of dreams
