The Labyrinth Lyrics
Clive Nolan The Labyrinth
Gardelle: Finally… here lies the Labyrinth
King: Here lies certain death to anyone who does not know the pathways
Eva: Then we reach an impasse
King: I think not… Amelia…look above the entrance
Amelia: I see it!
Gardelle: Please explain
King:
Her father left a map for us
No longer so ambiguous
Thanks to this song
Our chances are strong
Gardelle: 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 correctly
Gardelle: And if she doesn’t?
King: Then we’re back to certain death, I’m afraid
Gardelle: Oh good!
Gardelle & King:
A mantra from her childhood
We pray her recollection’s good
A simple verse
Could 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 wide
Through mystery and faith
So trust in me, your guiding light
And I will keep you safe
Amelia, Gardelle & King:
Walk on straight through the darkness
Then make the choice of the devil
Amelia:
For this is the choice that is true
Amelia, Gardelle & King:
Yield to the angels not once but twice
Then dance with the devil just one more time
But the final dance is for angels alone
They’re guiding you home
Amelia:
Paths of life go far and wide
Through mystery and faith
So trust in me, your guiding light
And I will keep you safe
Gardelle & King:
We’re following a dangerous line
We put our faith in nursery rhymes
A simple verse
Could be our curse
And fate would find that we are lost forever
A mantra from her childhood
We pray her recollection’s good
A simple verse
Could be our curse
King: Here you take the Stones… I have some less valuable ones we can keep in the box
Amelia: But why?
Eva: We have no idea what else may face us on this journey
King: Let us call it a quaternary plan!
Gardelle: Right, time to go…
King: Here lies certain death to anyone who does not know the pathways
Eva: Then we reach an impasse
King: I think not… Amelia…look above the entrance
Amelia: I see it!
Gardelle: Please explain
