All fall down.

I walked the whole labyrinth, 
Laid my skin and soul bare and left it drying 
Met a Minotaur of my own making.  
I fought him with fists and furious excuses.  
We ended up making friends and playing a furious game of 
chess by the sea.  
My monster, and me.  
He schooled me with a sneaky rook or two, but I hooked him in the end.  
I heard from the son of a shopkeeper 
That the son of the sun was horsing around- 
Drove his carriage right into the ground
Left his sister crying
Her tears turning to sweet amber
We all fall down, you see.
The sun and the moon and me,

We all fall down.
