This is not ancient Greece,
And I am no oracle.
I am prone to the many faults and flaws of all mankind.
My father,
He is no god,
He is but flesh and bone.
But Flesh is weak,
And bones will break.
Just like Courage,
And Resolve.
As a boy,
I prayed to be just like you.
To earn your Art,
Your Honor and your Courage,
Your Resolve.
This is not ancient Greece,
But I see the monster you’ve become.
The Minotaur’s shadow on the wall
Your words pursue me,
Through a maze of crippled logic.
Disturbed by your lack of Faith,
Confined by your Resolve.
You’re just behind me now,
And I’ve got nowhere left to run.
You track my every movement.
So you’ve won.
Put me in my place,
And I’ll never doubt you again.
But when the Volcano blows,
And the ash falls down like rain.
I’ll still love you but I’ll never be the same.
