Clutch - Minotaur lyrics

rate me

In a city of crooked alleys<br />

Crookeder women and wicked men<br />

Dim lamps in the rumor mill<br />

Suspicious kith and unkind kin<br />

<br />

Haruspectre General<br />

Sleeping soldiers in the field<br />

Below the elders conspire<br />

To turn the merciless and massive wheel<br />

<br />

Strange cousins from the west<br />

Overstay their welcome<br />

<br />

Locked in among skeletons<br />

Broken hearted and damned<br />

Sorry to have to break it to you friend<br />

But life seldom goes exactly as we plan<br />

<br />

Strange cousins from the west<br />

Overstay their welcome<br />

Peculiar manner and strange dress<br />

Who will ever dare to tell them?<br />

<br />

The city's always thriving<br />

Hungry bellows of the Minotaur<br />

Everyday more are arriving<br />

And everyday it requires more<br />

<br />

Unexpected circumstance<br />

We must not delay<br />

You have all been so very, very kind to us<br />

And we will return the favor one day<br />

<br />

Fate is the idiot's excuse<br />

Freedom is the sucker's dream<br />

But we hope you find some measure of comfort<br />

In considering us to be your family<br />

<br />

Strange cousins from the west<br />

Overstay their welcome<br />

Peculiar manner and strange dress<br />

Who will ever dare to tell them?<br />

<br />

The city's always thriving<br />

Hungry bellows of the Minotaur<br />

Everyday more are arriving<br />

And everyday it requires more<br />

<br />

The city's always thriving<br />

Savage bellows of the Minotaur<br />

Everyday more are arriving<br />

And everyday it requires more<br /><br />
