Monster in the closet, || monster under the bed
Isolated from touch, || inside the labyrinth
Nightmares inside my head, || nightmares, the cart upset
Old father, in Corinth, || old artificer, clutch
Tightly your leather purse, || tightly, keep hold the reins
Architect of mazes, || architect of desire
Ultimately, these strains || undermine at the source
Realize cool blue fire || reaps infernal blazes
Asterion, my son, || Ariadne hates lies
Trust in me, your father, || trust not in the white bull
Realize, he who dies || remembers not the sun
Icarus felt the pull || into sea foam lather
Understand the mythos, || understand the rhyme scheme
Minos, love is a dream, || mythical Knossos
