Paroles de 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!
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…
