Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hoist the black sails
Onward to Crete
All for to challenge a mad king's tyranny
Yearly fourteen of your offspring sacrificed to the beast
Enter its labyrinth, confront and defeat
[Verse 2]
Destined for this moment in time
Light my path, oh gods, wield strength through my sword
Though fierce wolves chase and pitfalls surround me
Thy blessing, my promise to pierce the black heart
Pierce the black heart
[Chorus]
A hero's story from another age
Will we ever know?
Will we ever know?
A lover's story from another age
Another age
[Verse 3]
Ariadne, Ariadne
At first glance her love yearns
Ariadne
Will you ever return from out of the maze?
She's afraid you won't live to see another day with Ariadne
[Verse 4]
By her grace in your hand
Ball of thread, tie one end
To the door as you go, unravel the line
[Bridge]
Fake walls surround you
Trapped in your own space
Pure imagination
Can't tell the real from the unreal
[Bridge]
Looking for the moments that come into view
Keep reaching for the stars
They're all waiting just for you
[Chorus]
A hero's story from another age
A lover's story from another age
[Verse 5]
Destined for this moment in time
Light my path, oh gods, wield strength through my sword
Though fierce wolves chase and pitfalls surround me
Thy blessing, my promise to pierce the black heart
[Outro]
Pierce the black heart
By her grace, one promise
Pierce the black heart
