St. Paul of the Tarantulas Lyrics by Opus Kink

’Til The Stream Runs Dry

0

Oh St Paul of the tarantulas
Take this one, she’s on fire
That moon is bleeding in a poison sky
Take us to the chapel of St Paul
Summon the minstrels of the town
Bring us guitar, the organetto
The castanet, the horn and the drum
Now she is waking in a world we cannot see
Where the devils and the ghosts are writhing in the trees
Sweat from her brow is pooling in the sheets
She casts them off, staggers to the street
We gather in the square now, children
Cristina, drive out your poison
Cristina, drive it out or die
O tarantula, O tarantella
The men are weeping in the square now
Cristina, drive out your sin, child
Or die
Gods turn and laugh
There’s no respite from the past
It squats like a spider
In the shadow you cast
Gone, gone, the wasted days
Gone and gone all the useless prayers
Death, death, the rack and pail
Wrap her now in her father’s veil
