Asaf Avidan: The Labyrinth Song

Evening rises, darkness threatens to engulf us all
But the there's a moon above, it's shining and I think I hear a call
It's just a whisper through the trees
My ears can hardly make it out
But I can hear it in my heart
Vibrating strong as if she shouts
Oh, Ariadne.
I am coming.
I just need to work this maze inside my head
I came here like you asked
I killed the beast - that part of me is dead
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my head
If only I have listened to you when you offered me that thread

Everything is quiet and I'm not exactly sure
if it really was your voice I heard or maybe it is a door?
that's closing up some hero's back on his track to be a man
can it be that all us heroes have a path but not a plan?
Oh Ariadne,
I am coming.
I just need to work this maze inside my mind
I wish I had that string
It's so damn dark - I think I'm going blind
Oh, Ariadne
I just need to work that maze inside my mind for the life of me,
I don't remember what I came to find

Now tell me princess. are you strolling through your sacred grove?
And is the moon still shining?
you're the only thing I'm thinking of
The sword you gave me, it was heavy I just had to lay it down
It's funny how defenseless i can feel here when there's nobody around
Oh, Ariadne.
I am coming
I just need to work this maze inside my heart
I was blind, I thought you'd bind me
but you offered me a chart
Ah, Ariadne
I just need to work this maze inside my heart
If I'd known that you could guide me
I'd have listened from the start

Somewhere up there midnight strikes
I think I hear the fall of little drops of water magnified against the barren wall
It’s more a feeling than a substance but there's nobody around
And when I'm in here all alone
it's just enough to let me drown
Oh, Ariadne,
I was coming but I failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you and we'll make each other last
Oh, Ariadne, I have failed you in this labyrinth of my past
Oh, Ariadne let me sing you and we'll make each other last
