Clive Nolan - The Labyrinth Lyrics
Gardelle: Finally… here lies the LabyrinthKing: Here lies certain death to anyone who does not know the pathwaysEva: Then we reach an impasseKing: I think not… Amelia…look above the entranceAmelia: I see it!Gardelle: Please explainKing:Her father left a map for usNo longer so ambiguousThanks to this songOur chances are strongGardelle: Is this true?Amelia: Yes, see there… A devil and an angel. Signifying left and right. My father always said the lullaby would protect me. I just never understood what he really meant.King: I pray that you will remember these words correctlyGardelle: And if she doesn’t?King: Then we’re back to certain death, I’m afraidGardelle: Oh good!Gardelle & King:A mantra from her childhoodWe pray her recollection’s goodA simple verseCould soon be our curse!Amelia: So the devils take us to the left and the angels to the right. Now follow me…Paths of life go far and wideThrough mystery and faithSo trust in me, your guiding lightAnd I will keep you safeAmelia, Gardelle & King:Walk on straight through the darknessThen make the choice of the devilAmelia:For this is the choice that is trueAmelia, Gardelle & King:Yield to the angels not once but twiceThen dance with the devil just one more timeBut the final dance is for angels aloneThey’re guiding you homeAmelia:Paths of life go far and wideThrough mystery and faithSo trust in me, your guiding lightAnd I will keep you safeGardelle & King:We’re following a dangerous lineWe put our faith in nursery rhymesA simple verseCould be our curseAnd fate would find that we are lost foreverA mantra from her childhoodWe pray her recollection’s goodA simple verseCould be our curseKing: Here you take the Stones… I have some less valuable ones we can keep in the boxAmelia: But why?Eva: We have no idea what else may face us on this journeyKing: Let us call it a quaternary plan!Gardelle: Right, time to go…
