Lyrics by Indi Riverflow

There was a cruel judge who dealt in dread
Sentencing the living to join the dead
He decreed an annual Athenian feast
Be fed to an unspeakable bull-headed beast
Sacrificed in a cavernous maze
To meet the monster at the end of their days

The judge had a few troubles at home
Namely a wife who was prone to roam
Short on mercy and quick with the hammer
And then there was this prince in his slammer
Who on the eve of slaughter
Stole the love of the Judge’s daughter

{Chorus}
With your feet dipped in fire
Running free your sole desire
When you’ve caught the heat
And it can’t get any hotter
Just don’t burn
The Judge’s daughter

Ariadne, she was a firebrand ready to flee
Said oh, lover, I’ll set you free,
But only if you swear to bring me
If I stay, why, I’ll lose my head
So track the way with this thread
And out of the labyrinth you’ll be led

Been thinking since you first arrived
That I might prefer you make it alive
Stick with me and you’ll survive
This court is rife with sorrow and strife
So please just take me and make me your wife
I’ve danced in this dungeon all my life

{Chorus}

A steep price now upon their heads
The fugitive lovers quickly fled
Bats out of Hades’ realm of the dead
Now he was a prisoner of love instead
One night they made it on moonlit sands
As she slept he made other plans

Ariadne saw she’d been played like a pawn
He’d gone and left her by the early dawn
You’d think with love so tough to find
Such sweetness wouldn’t be left behind
But heroes hate to get tied down
With beauties waiting in every town
