"The Carpet Crawlers", also sometimes listed as "Carpet Crawl", "The Carpet Crawl" or "Carpet Crawlers", is a song originally from the 1974 Genesis concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The song was re-recorded in 1999 with the name "The Carpet Crawlers 1999".
In this portion of The Lamb story, the main character Rael finds himself in a red carpeted corridor, filled with kneeling people that are slowly crawling towards a red door at the end of the hall. Rael is able to move freely, so he dashes by them towards the door and goes through it. Behind the door is a table with a candle-lit feast of food on it, and behind that, a spiral staircase that leads upwards out of sight.
