The Ballad Of The Minotaur

By honor, by blood,
By fire, by steel,
By the great turnings of the eternal wheel,
Eternal days, eternal nights,
Eternal screaming, eternal plight,
These are the perils we must face,
This is the journey chosen by our race,
By forge, by metal,
By stone, by might,
Thus is my axe driven into the night,
And when the rage has ended, the flow lay asunder,
We look to the sun to begin our new journey under,
By battle, by spirit,
By passion, by pride,
This is the way of earth and sky.
This is our thunder, this is our steel,
And such is the way of hoof and heel.
