Of the Tarantulas - Crazy Arm

A black scab grows where you bite

But I’ll bring your hiding place to light

Your father’s envy and conceit

Your secret tyrant-appetite

I’d be a pillar-saint, not a whirlpool of revenge

Thus spoke the more uncommon sense

Good and evil, rich and poor

Mean and noble, born to war

Free me from this vengeful hour

Free me from this rise to power

Good and evil, rich and poor

Mean and noble, born to war

Free me from this vengeful hour

Free me from this holy fire

Again, it drives me to mankind

It drives the hammer to the stone

What are the gods to me now?

Dust on statues long gone

A body rotten with disease

I’d be a pillar-saint, not a whirlpool of revenge

Thus spoke the more uncommon sense

I would travel long and far just to get to where you are

I’d be a pillar saint not a whirlpool of revenge
