		"Core"

In this labyrinth world
there are places
one dares not to tread
Under the purple sky
with midnight blue
the gray horizon sighs
I've been lost before
afraid of manticores
that stalk the gardens
through the night
And I have heard
the cries of the lost
that whisper beyond my sight
So I walk the world
with darkened eyes
waiting for my fight
Under the purple sky
with midnight blue
the gray horizon dies
