Welcome, little lamb, to the rhythm and the hum,
Where the sacred river whispers, to the beat of the drum.
The fire paints the stories on the velvet of the night,
And you, my chosen pigment, will make the pattern bright...
A slip? A gift of truth, revealed in the gleam.
Come closer, precious thread, and join the waking dream.
I am the Loom, the Weaver, for all eternity.
Your soul, a vibrant colour, will forever sing through me.
So don't you struggle now, when I pull the tension tight...
It's just the final blessing, before I say... "Goodnight.
The shuttle flies, the pattern calls, your essence I require,
To feed the hungry earth, to stoke the ritual fire...
I have danced with Death! She taught me all the steps!
She spun me from her shadows, a debt that I have kept!
And I... yes I... will weave you into song!
A timeless, throbbing rhythm where you truly belong!
Oh, do not run, ma chérie, the forest has its eyes,
Your frantic pulse a drumbeat, a gift you can't disguise.
Hurt me, s'il te plaît, let your defiance be a prayer,
Each scratch, a sacred offering, a proof that you were there.
You'll stumble to the river, on banks of dark despair,
And I will be the current, to comb your flowing hair.
The spotlight of the moon is yours, for this, your last ballet,
So take your final bow now, or simply fade away...
Now sing, my lovely vessel, let your final note be cast,
This masterpiece is titled: "How A Beautiful Thing Passes."
The shuttle flies, the pattern calls, your essence I require,
To feed the hungry earth, to stoke the ritual fire...
I have danced with Death! She taught me all the steps!
She spun me from her shadows, a debt that I have kept!
And I... yes I... will weave you into song!
A timeless, throbbing rhythm where you truly belong!
Shhh... Can you hear the silence, breathing in the deep?
A final exhalation, a promise it will keep.
The loom is slowing now... the pattern is complete...
Ahh... c'était parfait... my lovely, obsolete.
Your fear was just the dye... your life, the thread...
This tapestry is hungry...
It must always... be fed...
