Theseus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[What lies beneath the door?]
[What keeps you?]
[Explore.]
[Do you take the chance to defeat the source?]
[The gates are opening]
[The choice, the future, the future, the future is yours]
So now you've found all you were looking for,
How you gonna find your way out of the maze?
You hear those jealous hands, those bitter men
Carve their meat before the table is laid.
And they are hungry, they are hungry for you
They are hungry, they are hungry for you
[for you, for you]
With an appetite, insatiable
They are hungry, they are hungry for you
[for you]
The warm thread of love leads you to freedom
[freedom]
Once the hero's deed is done
You leave her lying lonely, no parasol
[burning]
under slow solitary suns
And she is hungry, she is hungry for you
[hungry]
She is hungry, she is hungry for you
With an appetite so generous
She is hungry, [hungry] she is hungry for you
So why no surrender to your lover?
[your lover]
Or to the dead ends of the maze?
[the dead ends of the maze]
With all your life left to discover
[all your life]
A black sail billows, the sun hits your blade
[frozen, life]
And you are hungry, [hungry] you are hungry for you
[hungry for your]
You are hungry, [hungry] only hungry for you
[only for your]
Take a look around
[said take a look around]
A little more
[a little more]
Who is this for?
[Who is this for?]
What is this for?
[What is this for?]
With an appetite so dangerous
With an appetite so dangerous
So take a look around and a little more [a little more]
What is this for?
And who is this for?
Only for you?
[Only for you]
Only for you
[Only for you]
Take a look around [take a look around] and a little more
What is this for?
[What is this for?]
And who is this for?
Your appetite, [only for you] so dangerous
Your appetite, [your appetite] so dangerous [so dangerous]
