As a poor child, Valentin learned that if freedom would not come tomorrow, it would come eventually.

VALENTIN
It was made out of mud
And pieces of tin
And boxes nailed together
Cardboard boxes
My castle
My home

And we slept on the floor
My sister and I
With gunny sacks for our pillows
Coughing, hungry, cosy
My home

And every Sunday on our knees
We would thank the Lord
For his bountiful blessings

And our mother poured soup
Into little cracked bowls
As she spoke of something better
Beef steak, maybe, someday
My home

And that lady had eyes
That were empty and cold
At the ripe old age of thirty
Death came
Welcome
To my home

And still that Sunday
On our knees
How we thanked the Lord
For his bountiful blessings

And my sister and I
Swore the day that we left
There’d be no more children like us
In the filth there, in the heat there.
In the smell there

And no more Sundays
On our knees
Would we thank the Lord
For his bountiful blessings

And we came to the city
And begged for our food
Then, one April day we heard it
Thunder rumbling
One man speaking
Thousands singing…

Someday we’ll be free
I promise you, we’ll be free
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that

And the candles in our hands
Will illuminate this land
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that

And the world that gives us pain
That fills our lives with fear
On the day after that
Will disappear

And the war we’ve fought to win
I promise you, we will win
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
Or the day after that

CHORUS & VALENTIN
Someday we’ll be free
I promise you, we’ll be free
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that

And the candles in our hands
Will illuminate this land
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that

And the world that gives us pain
That fills our lives with fear
On the day after that
Will disappear
Will disappear
Will disappear

And the war we’ve fought to win
I promise you, we will win
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day after that
Or the day
After that!

Context & Lyrics

Aurora, a diva whose role as the Spider Woman intimidates her lover Molina, gives her deadly kiss as the curtain closes.

View Lyrics

SPIDER WOMAN
Sooner or later
You’re certain to meet
In the bedroom, the parlor or even the street
There’s no place on earth
You’re likely to miss
Her kiss

Sooner or later
In sunlight or gloom
When the red candles flicker
She’ll walk in the room
And the curtains will shake and the fire will hiss
Here comes her kiss

And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide’s low ebb
And her black beads shimmer
And you’re aching to move
But you’re caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can scream
But you cannot escape

Sooner or later your love will arrive
And she touches your heart
You’re alert and alive
But there’s only one pin
That can puncture such bliss
Her kiss

Sooner or later you bathe in success
And your minions salute
They say nothing but “YES”
But your power is empty
It fades like the mist
Once you’ve been kissed

And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide’s low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you’re aching to move
But you’re caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape

You can run
You can scream
You can hide
But you cannot escape!
