Minotaur

We wander these ancient corridors
 Abandoned since its conception
 A dank musk fills the air
 Walk on powdered bones
 Crushed under the hooves
 Of the beast
 A giant abomination
 Born of the gods of the second age
 His club once the great tree of life
 Now a weapon of absolute death
 A corrupt gem embedded
 By the Old Ones
 Birthed the Minotaur
 Of its fruit the rotten hearts of men
 Enticed by the potential encouraged their doom
 Elation turned to fear
 As it grew
 It fed on acts of death
 The tree that cradled the calf
 Uprooted as a terrible club
 The land dried and soon died
 As the appetite of the beast grew
 The walls once meant to protect
 Now act to imprison
 Like a spiders web
 The beast feels all
 As we break through the ruble
 And challenge the demon
 With a suicide call
 To reclaim the gem
 And bind him to our will
 For not blade nor arrow
 Can pierce its flesh
 But it's not its demise we cherish
 To bend and break its will
 In our servitude
 Add it amongst our
 Summoning brood
 The creature comes
 Into our circle we enchant
 An invisible wall
 It cannot break
 As we dismantle its club
 Stake by stake
