Minotaur (Birth and Death of a Monster) Lyrics

Born in the dark where the torches don't burn

A twisted fate from which none can return

A curse of the gods, a secret concealed

A beast in the maze, forever sealed

Footsteps echo through the stone

Lost souls wander flesh and bone

No mercy in his hollow stare

Once you enter, you despair

Minotaur, birth and death of a monster

Bound in the labyrinth, trapped ever after

Minotaur, no escape, no release

Lost in the halls where the echoes don't cease

A goals remember, the cries and the screams

A kingdom of sorrow, a prison of dreams

The scent of fear, the thrill of the chase

A shadow that none can escape

Heroes arrive with blades in hand

Seeking to break what they don't understand

But the beast is more than just his name

A soul devoured by gods' cruel game

Minotaur, birth and death of a monster

Bound in the labyrinth, trapped ever after

Minotaur, no escape, no release

Lost in the halls where the echoes don't cease

Was he the curse, or was he betrayed

A pawn in a war the gods had made

A mother's sorrow, a father's shame

A beast condemned without a name

The hero comes, the blade runs deep

A silent fall, eternal sleep

But in the stone, his ghost still dwells

The mage remains, the silence tears

Minotaur, birth and death of a monster

Found in the labyrinth, trapped ever after

Minotaur, his magic won't die

Echoing still in the moonlit sky

A beast, a man, a fate unkind

A shadow lost in endless time

But May still stands, the echoes call

And in the dark, he waits for all
