lyrics

Minotaur

You have the power now
and all you'd love to do is to lock away
lock away all you can't conceive
in a labyrinth, underground

You have the power now
and all you'd love to do is to lock away
every monster that can't fit your mind
in a labyrinth, underground

lock away mystery, lock away faith
lock away demons and angels alike
lock away love and its infinite faces
sorrow and its infinite disgraces

lock away prophets as they are too human
writers as they sing their words too loud
lock away women as they would give birth
to another kind of man you probably would not understand

lock away the blacks, lock away the gays
lock away the Chinese as they are all too strange
lock away the Africans as they dance too well
the Germans as they stand too well

lock away the Syrians for they have war
the Palestinians for they had only war
the Scandinavians for they had no war
lock away the Mexicans for they are all drug addicts

lock away the waters lock away the mountains
lock away the rivers lock away the fields
lock away the skies the rains the dew
lock away the sun the bees the fuels

lock away the alien lock away the monster
lock away the alien lock away the monster
but you are a monster too a monster too
you'd better cope on with yourself
you'd better cope on with yourself

you're the minotaur

i see this overcrowded jails in your mind
they'll soon begin to pulse
like a flood on the rise

i see this black forgotten holes, your eyes
they'll soon begin to rot
from inside
