Minotaur Lyrics

Under their feet, beneath the streets

The tunnels are twisting and turning

A legend of Crete, a man and a beast

The product of hatred and yearning

The test of a fool, to slay the bull

Their quests resulting in failure

A man by the name of Theseus came

To take on the role of the slayer

Forward and down

Don't move around

The darkness would hinder his guidance

Forward and down

Aware of the sound

Of the Minotaur's heart in the silence

Alone in the dark

Being the best man he can be

To save their souls

For the heart of the girl Ariadne

Then, stirred from sleep

The creature catches its breath

And beast and man brave their fight

'Til the beast succumbs, meeting its death

Seven with beauty, seven were bold

The fourteen would soon be devoured

Before they were thrown, a stranger unknown

A warrior of poise, wits, and power

Before he dared enter the lair

A gift of thread he'd be given

The man by the name of Theseus claimed

The Minotaur won't go on living

The solitude breached, the chamber was reached

The creature arose from its slumber

The fire in its eyes, its monstrous size

The warriors days are now numbered

Their bodies thrashed and weapons clashed

The creature too strong for the warrior

A sword to the throat a head held aloft

The blood of the innocents spilled no more
