The Crimson Spider

I am the Crimson Spider

I sit astride the earth

I’ve come to show the many

What a single life is worth

I migrated from east to west

In a single cursed day

No matter what your status

My power will hold sway

I am the scion of the angel

Who took the male firstborn

Of every Egyptian patriarch

Who mimicked Pharaoh’s scorn

Faith must marry science

To stay my deadly course

Wash your hands, wear your mask

And seek your higher source  

I am the Crimson Spider

My web is made of lies

Its purpose is to convince you

Not to trust your eyes
