The Labyrinth
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
Beneath the stones of ancient Crete
Where sunlight never found the floor
Twisting halls of silent death
Guarded one forgotten door
The old men warned, "Turn back, my son."
The echoes swallowed every sound
For those who entered seeking glory...
Were never again found.
Pre-Chorus
Every step...
Another shadow.
Every breath...
Another prayer.
Chorus
The Labyrinth!
Where darkness wears a crown
One wrong turn...
And you're never coming out
The Labyrinth!
Stone beneath our feet
The Sons of the Wolf
Never bow to fear's deceit
No road behind...
No light ahead...
Only courage...
Leading where angels fear to tread
Verse 2
A heartbeat echoed through the halls
Like war drums in the endless night
The beast was born of curse and rage
Half man... half endless fight
Bronze met horn, and shield met stone
The walls themselves began to shake
One warrior stood against the beast...
With all of Greece at stake.
Pre-Chorus
Not every monster...
Lives outside.
Some wait...
In the dark.
Chorus
The Labyrinth!
Hear the beast's last roar!
Even legends
Can be brought to the floor
The Labyrinth!
Raise the wolf-banner high!
For every Son must face the dark...
Before he learns to fly
Bridge
The monster wasn't...
The maze.
The monster wasn't...
The horn.
The greatest battle...
Has always been...
Against the fear...
Within.
Final Chorus
The Labyrinth!
Every wall now falls!
The Sons of the Wolf
Answer courage's call
Though shadows linger...
Though stories grow...
The bravest warriors
Still choose to go
Into the darkness...
Not because...
They know they'll win...
But because...
Someone...
Must.
Outro
Some monsters...
Guard treasure.
Others...
Guard fear.
Only the brave...
Return to tell...
The story.
