Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Fair hands now lift the woven shrine.

A laborer's girl, a rich one's guise,
A laborer's girl, a rich one's guise,
Behold, behold, God's play unfurls,
Behold, behold, God's play unfurls,
Dust-filled eyes hold dreams that rise.
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Fair hands now lift the woven shrine.
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind.

A bindi of love, a bindi her name,
Dawn in her cheeks, in her hair, the flame,
Dawn in her cheeks, in her hair, the flame,
Fate's meager wage, a paltry claim.
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Fair hands now lift the woven shrine.
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind.

Her youth ablaze, her waist a bow,
Her youth ablaze, her waist a bow,
Lest any take what they don't know,
Lest any take what they don't know,
The master teases, seeks a show.
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Fair hands now lift the woven shrine.
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind.

Seeing her beauty, pondering her way,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind,
Seeing her beauty, pondering her way,
Threads entwined, the threads they bind.
