Theseus Lyrics by Patrick Wolf

The Bachelor

2009

[What lies beneath the door?
What keeps you?
Explore!
Do you take the chance to defeat the source?
The gates are opening
The choice
The future
The future
The future is yours!]

So now you've found all you were looking for
How you gonna find your way out of the maze?
You hear those jealous hands, those bitter men
Carve their meat before the table is laid
And they are hungry, they are hungry for you
And they are hungry, they are hungry for you
[They are hungry for you, for you, for you]
With an appetite insatiable
They are hungry, they are hungry for you
[For you]

The warm thread of love leads you to freedom
[Freedom]
And once your hero's deed is done
You leave her lying lone, no parasol
[Burning]
Under slow and solitary suns
And she is hungry, she is hungry for you
[Hungry]
And she is hungry, she is hungry for you
[She is hungry for you]
With an appetite so generous
She is hungry, she is hungry for you
[Hungry, hungry for you]

So why no surrender to your lover?
[Your lover]
Or to the dead ends of the maze?
[The dead ends of the maze]
With all your life yet to discover
[All your life]
A black sail billows, the sun hits your blade
[Rising, rising]
And you are hungry, you are hungry for you
[Hungry, only for you]
And you are hungry, only hungry for you
[Hungry, hungry only for you]
Take a look around
[So take a look around]
And a little more
[And a little more]
Who is this for?
[Who is this for?]
What is this for?
[What is this for?]

With an appetite so dangerous
With an appetite so dangerous

So take a look around
And a little more
[And a little more]
What is this for
And who is this for?

Only for you
[Only for you]
Only for you
[Only for you]

Take a look around
[Take a look around]
And a little more
What is this for
[What is this for?]
And who is this for?

Your appetite
[Only for you]
So dangerous
Your appetite
[Your appetite]
So dangerous
[So dangerous]
