lyrics
THE LABYRINTH
The labyrinth goes on forever
A honeycombed ocean in green
My sense of direction can’t solve the equation
And brings me back to where I’ve been
The spectres around are blindfolded
But somehow they all know the way
Although each one’s boots follow disparate routes
Which doesn’t help much, I must say
Cause I have my eyes open wide
So much I can make out my thoughts
But try as I may I cannot find the way
- This irks me more often than not -
A castle awaits in the center
The spectres, they know how to go
I say “hello, hi” but they all say “goodbye!
It’s time that you, too, headed home”
But I do not know if I’m ready
-Those who go in never come out –
Could wear a blindfold and do as I was told
But I’d hear the voice within shout
The architect, Demiurge, yes!
His art is mind-numbing, he plays!
He wants me to tame the wild birds in my brain;
Poor Daedalus in his own maze
Above me, I sense the glass vultures
Rejoice in the choice that I’ve made
But I don’t take kindly to casting spells blindly
I’ll read the grimoires as I wade
Now stardust is creeping all over
The labyrinth blooming around
And I know the cost of remaining this lost
But I still don’t want to be found
Ends go hand in hand with beginnings
The moon promptly chases the sun
I won’t let this dream fade away with a beam
Before it has even begun
The labyrinth goes on forever
A honeycombed ocean in green
My sense of direction can’t solve the equation
And brings me back to where I’ve been
The spectres around are blindfolded
But somehow they all know the way
Although each one’s boots follow disparate routes
Which doesn’t help much, I must say
Cause I have my eyes open wide
So much I can make out my thoughts
But try as I may I cannot find the way
- This irks me more often than not -
A castle awaits in the center
The spectres, they know how to go
I say “hello, hi” but they all say “goodbye!
It’s time that you, too, headed home”
But I do not know if I’m ready
-Those who go in never come out –
Could wear a blindfold and do as I was told
But I’d hear the voice within shout
The architect, Demiurge, yes!
His art is mind-numbing, he plays!
He wants me to tame the wild birds in my brain;
Poor Daedalus in his own maze
Above me, I sense the glass vultures
Rejoice in the choice that I’ve made
But I don’t take kindly to casting spells blindly
I’ll read the grimoires as I wade
Now stardust is creeping all over
The labyrinth blooming around
And I know the cost of remaining this lost
But I still don’t want to be found
Ends go hand in hand with beginnings
The moon promptly chases the sun
I won’t let this dream fade away with a beam
Before it has even begun
