The Minotaur

music: Brad Wentworth

lyrics: Jay Wentworth

Porcupine quills in my heart.

It’s nature’s way in her maze.

I’m alone with my future.

It’s nature’s way in her maze.

Into danger, more fear, more dread.

Could I feel hope or find a place to rest? To rest? 

The labyrinth that we live in,

a cunning maze that we’re in.

Those colored threads, we can follow,

and every step leads somewhere new. 

Into danger, more fear, more dread.

Could I feel hope or find a place to rest? To rest? 

You know the story of the minotaur—

part man, part horror, the queen and bull.

Labyrinth where we live our lives;

he is here at the center; 

he waits, he waits, the minotaur.

Pull the quills out; take a deep breath;

look for that thread out of here.

Must escape soon or I’ll find him

he must know me the Minotaur

Into danger more fear more dread

Could I feel hope or find a place to rest? To rest? 

You know the story of the minotaur—

part man, part horror, the queen and bull.

Labyrinth where we live our lives;

he is here at the center;

he waits, he waits, the minotaur.

Right in the center of my life and my death, the minotaur

haunting dreams and stealing sleep

it would feed on my fears; my guilt can’t face the minotaur.

Horrors have happened now I’m here and see:

It’s a mirror! Mirror! 

I know the story of the minotaur—

part human, part horror, the queen and bull.

Labyrinth where we live our lives,

she is here at the center;

she waits, she waits in that dark mirror.

I’m in the story of the minotaur—

part human, part horror, my destiny.
