Ties That Bind The Mechanisms

[Verse 1: Ariadne]
You engineered the beast
That stalks the streets
Making deals with a monster so much worse
Playing games with lives
And bringing down his curse
Mother, Father
You brought our name down low
Where the city once lay at our feet
Now I’m working with these lowlifes just to eat
I reap what you sow
Your one true child

[Chorus]
My family will rise again
We’ll reclaim the power that we used to hold
The Minos name reborn
From the ashes bright in letters made of gold
For long we’ve remained in shadow
And in far-forgotten tales never told
The city shall be ours
Once again, once again

[Verse 2]
I tried to right your wrongs
That for so long
Had cast their dark horned shadow over my life
Ripping minds from tear-streaked backstreets dripping strife
He promised freedom
From the infamy you wrought
You built the Labyrinth from blood and pain
And Theseus I thought could hide the stain
But release can’t be bought
From the ties that bind
