Bull of Crete

From the watching sea I wish for a beast A sacrifice to please a god Must claim my right to the Cretian throne. Given to me was not a beast But a gift A sacred white bull My worth upholds I have kings rule now Slay a lesser cow Not unnoticed Poseidon plans As she sleeps, she dreams To lay the beast Open her eyes Between her thighs Minos bull lies Fear builds on shame Thus brings on hate Fear builds on shame Thus brings on hate Bring it down The gate Bring it down Build the maze Labyrinth Hide the freak Seven maidens Seven young sons Laid to rest Unsung Year by year Brought to feed Seven maidens Seven young sons Laid to rest
