Bull of Crete Lyrics

Album: Murmur

From the watching sea

I wish for a beast

A sacrifice to please a god

Must claim my right

to the Cretian throne.

Given to me was not a beast

But a gift

A sacred white bull

My worth upholds

I have kings rule now

Slay a lesser cow

Not unnoticed

Poseidon plans

As she sleeps, she dreams

To lay the beast

Open her eyes

Between her thighs

Minos bull lies

Fear builds on shame

Thus brings on hate

Fear builds on shame

Thus brings on hate

Bring it down

The gate

Bring it down

Build the maze

Labyrinth

Hide the freak

Seven maidens

Seven young sons

Laid to rest

Unsung

Year by year

Brought to feed

Seven maidens

Seven young sons

Laid to rest
