"Ariadna"

The labyrinth song

"Evening rises,
Darkness threatens to engulf us all
But the there's a moon above.
It's shining and I think I hear a call
It's just a whisper through the trees
My ears can hardly make it out
But I can hear it in my heart
Vibrating strong as if she shouts

Oh Ariadne, I am coming.
I just need to work this maze inside my head
I came here like you asked
I killed the beast
That part of me is dead
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my head
If only I have listened to you
When you offered me that thread

Everything is quiet and l'm not exactly sure
If it really was your voice I heard
Or maybe lt is a door
That's closing up some hero's back
On his track to be a man
Can it be that all us heroes have a path
But not a plan?

Oh Ariadne, I am coming.
I just need to work this maze inside my mind
I wish I had that string
It's so damn dark
I think I'm going blind
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work that maze inside my mind
For the life of me,
I don't remember what I came to find

Now tell me princess, are you strolling through your sacred grove?
And is the moon still shining?
You're the only thing I'm thinking of
The sword you gave me, it was heavy
I just had to lay it down
Lt's funny how defenseless I can feel here
When there's nobody around

Oh Ariadne, I am coming
I just need to work this maze inside my heart
I was blind. I thought you'd bind me
But you offered me a chart
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
If I'd known that you could guide me
I'd have listened from the start
Somewhere up there midnight strikes.

I think I hear the fall
Of little drops of water
Magnified against the barren wall
Its more a feeling than a substance.
But there's nobody ardund
And when I'm in here all alone
It's just enough to let me drown

Oh Ariadne, I was coming
But I failed you
In this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you
And we'll make each other last
Oh Ariadne, I have failed you
In this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne let me sing you
And we'll make each other last"
