The story is something I wouldn't have thought of and didn't know existed, but the concept and imagery are perfect. Ryan Wurtz adds more gorgeous guitar tones, and Katlyn Conroy's haunting delivery of her own brilliant lyrics are the centerpiece of this track. Jorogumo is music, art, creativity- she's an obsession!
lyrics
Jorogumo in the water
Pay visit each day to see her
Come back weaker, time's consumer
You fear it will not break, this fever
Holy man, recite the Sutra
Project to ripple in the pool there
See as spider's threads tangle 'round his legs
To drag him down
Creature, ghost or legend
Unsuspecting meals become them
You know she's a spider, but can not forget her
You know she's a spider, but can not not love her
Master of the Mountain, forbid this for them
Blind his heart so it can't know this
He's unwilling to give up this thing that is his
So she'll drown him in it
She will drown him in it
Jorogumo, who are you?
To only resurrect to break the hearts of men you've met
Jorogumo in the water
She'll make it so you're meant to find her
