It tells the story of Minos, the son of Zeus and Europe, who killed his brothers to take power in Crete by having Dedalus, his architect, build the maze to house the Minotaur and defend his palace by taking oaths of power and conquest.

lyrics

POWER AND CRUELTY
Music by Paulo Mello and lyrics by Paulo Schmidt

In Crete, a cruel king
Son of Zeus and Europe
Grown up on his lands
Throne and power
His legacy

After Asterion's death
Minos finally took the throne
Then began his reign
Showing up his strength
Expelled out two brothers
The crown was by his orders
Feeling power increase
Making promises

[Minos]
Everyone who wish to try to
Challenge me to fight
Will be in torment and
Will fall on the knees

I will unite all the people
And the land will be very strong
I'll create my army
And the land will be very strong

My reign will be remembered
Everywhere in the world
In Minos the power and cruelty lies
My force will be remembered
Forever in the world
In Minos the power and cruelty lies

My reign will never fall


Under the palace you will build
Labyrinth malediction
Of my enemies house of minotaur
Don’t have any exit
Only entrances
The death will be upon
All who will try
The perfect place to keep the beast
Protecting palace
Go build Daedalus

I will unite all the people
And the land will be very strong
I'll create my army
And the land will be very strong

My reign will be remembered
Everywhere in the world
In Minos the power and cruelty lies
My force will be remembered
Forever in the world
In Minos the power and cruelty lies

My reign will never fall

In Creta a cruel king
Son of Zeus and Europe
Grown up on his lands
Throne and power
His legacy

Zeus give me your bless to
Conquer Athens
Zeus give me your force to
Defeat Aegeus

My reign will be remembered
Everywhere in the world
In Minos the power and cruelty lies
My force will be remembered
Forever in the world
In Minos the power and cruelty lies

My reign will never fall
