Woodland gatherers summon a potential hero to fight their oppressors.
But, the solution to a problem may be the next, bigger problem.
lyrics
Gather around the fire
Take hands and kiss the spider
Who there beckons in this hour?
Is your premise worth the fire?
Summon shadows from the forrest
Spouting shrills, a horrid chorus
Harnessing my ancient strength
Along with hunger grows my rage
Come forth guardian
We call upon you |:
Now you’ve called upon my service
What do you wish I deed for you?
Toil this long and plot it well
For you fortunes bring you curses
Gather around the fire
Take hands and swallow the spider
Crush your foes and lift you high
Dig you out from all your trenches
Conquer all that stand against you
Lay your burdens down to rest
You’ve won the battle in this hour
Upon your land I now devour
Come forth guardian
We call upon you |:
Gather around the fire
Take hands and consume the spider
Gather around the pyre
All that’s left is ash and fire
