CAUGHT IN THE WEB
I
…A prisoner of his own devising,
wholly self-deceived;
—tangled in the web he’s spun 
by his own thoughts and deeds.
A soldier of misfortune,
he feels an inner dread;
contemplating pay-back 
and the danger up ahead.

Chorus:
…caught in the web,
waitin’ for the Spider!
II
Though many chide and mock him,
this man’s nobody’s fool.
He knows he’s being hunted,
but there’s nothing he can do.
No place for him to run to.
No place for him to flee.
The web that holds him fast extends
far as the eye can see.

Chorus:
…caught in the web,
waitin’ for the Spider!

Bridge:
When he was a younger man his conscience
did inform his every choice;
but he has suppressed it’s witness for so very long 
he can no longer hear its salutary voice!
III
He hates the life he’s living.
He wants only to be free.
He’s looking for an answer.
He’s searching for the key.

The Lord of Life stands ready,
to loose and let him go;
but he turned his back upon that path
a long long time ago.
So he’s…

Chorus:
…caught in the web…
Yeah,
 caught in the web,
waitin’ for the Spider!
