Art Bears - Labyrinth lyrics

rate me

Money bought me,

Lusts made my labour,

Greed sustained me,

I, the manufacturer of Engines

Wrought the union, it was I.

From my inventions

Sprang the offspring who would

Slay his master.

Guilt persuaded me,

Necessity bound me,

Fate took away my will.

I built the cell – the labyrinth

To hold the half-man I had fostered

It was I

Who built the city

To contain him.

Science sustained me,

And time my master.

I acted eventually unbidden.

I gave her the twine, and she he

But the thread that he followed

Was mine from

Beginning to end. Now

I wait for my murder

With a cold heart.
