Minotaur strong and mighty
A beautiful creature but mostly feared
No one daring to willingly slaughter one, with the risk of being dinner
One of the fathers of the Gods
Until the Gods sent them to the underworld prison by the river Styx
A mighty creature only calmed by a tune on a flute
Otherwise filled with ravenous rage and hunger
A creature part boar, part human
A magnificent creature wielding a double-sided axe
Glorious up in the high mountains regions
Just hiding in the dark cave
Waiting for a lost person or warrior to become dinner
And all that will be left is a few bones scattered in the cave as evidence of the feast
Then the hunt will be on to kill the Minotaur
But most of them will share the same fate
That is the way of the mighty MINOTAUR!!!
