ARIADNE’S THREAD
Music by Paulo Mello and Lyrics by Paulo Schmidt

Seven lads
Seven girls
Year by year
Lost their souls

[Minos]
For Androgeus Athens will pay
Minotaur is waiting for them

[Teseu]
I will kill the horned beast
Athens will be free

[Delfos Oracle]
If you wish to succeed
The power of love you will need
Only rage won’t be strong enough
You will need help in your battle

[Teseu]
The labyrinth is my will
The minotaur I will kill
To free my land from this price
Even if I may die

Ariadne: You are the one that makes my heart beat stronger
Teseu: She came to me
Ariadne: If you marry me I can save you
Teseu: It will be done
Ariadne: Promise me you'll never leave me alone
Teseu: You are my strength
Ariadne and Teseu: Together by the thread you will be by my side

[Teseu]
Princess help me and show the way
This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way
Princess help me and show the way
This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way

[Teseu]
The labyrinth is my will
The minotaur I will kill
To free my land from this price
Even if I may die

[Ariadne]
If you go into the labyrinth
Teseu: She came to me
Use this magical sword to win
Teseu: It will be done
And this thread will bring you back to me
Teseu: You are my strength
Together by the thread you will be by my side

[Teseu]
Princess help me and show the way
This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way
Princess help me and show the way
This sword will kill the beast and your thread will guide my way
