about

A modern retelling of the Greek myth of the minotaur, theseus, daedalus, and icarus

into the labyrinth we go...

lyrics

This is why we can’t have nice things

A world infested with rats
There’s no turning back
Humanity regrets then it forgets so
Ignore all our mistakes
And our toxic traits
Just take the pills
Hubris kills

A labyrinth of broken bones
Can’t escape the hand of fate
Flying too close to the sun
The wax melts from our man made wings
This is why we can’t have nice things

Stumbling through the dark led by a ball of twine
A ritualistic sacrifice made to the divine
Navigate the labyrinth with the minotaur at our heels
The secrets of these corridors have yet to be revealed
We yield as the creature rises up before us
And we’re forced to strike it down
Not a creature at all, but a victim of fate
Bleeding on the ground
We run for the exit but we’re trapped at the gate
You see our greed and lust for power is
A labyrinth that we can not escape

The minotaur wakes

A labyrinth of broken bones
Can’t escape the hand of fate
Flying too close to the sun
The wax melts from our man made wings
This is why we can’t have nice things
