lyrics

The corridors stretching out-
-out, to an ashen infinity
Down that twisted stair
past… the depths
Nameless, ever changing void
Abyss is down the hall
What does the house contain?
The hunt… is on

Behold this man’s desire
To conquer
To own
Yet nothing do they find
Room
After room

His mind is failing fast I can see it in his eyes
This myth has taken from him more than we surmise

We’ll be fine if we keep going
Defeat is only in admitting it
These clawing walls won’t tear us down
Emptiness incarnate
A shifting maze, around each corner
We’ll push forward to the infinite
Shoot first ask questions later
The Minotaur

The walls are endlessly bare
They are without texture
You will never find a mark there
The walls obliterate everything
They are permanently absolved of all record.
Behold the perfect pantheon of absence.

Abandon the fools
Now alone
in the dark

All thoughts gone
From this blackened
mind

Starving now, deep the labyrinth
Clawing walls tear me down
A fleeting glimpse, a row of doors
A bullet for the beast
Shot into the innocent
No time spared to mourn
His gasping breath, leave him behind
My short life doomed to hunt
The Minotaur
