According to the legend the German town of Hamelin was infested by rats
One day a man dressed in a suit of many colors walked in to Hamelin with a large hat
And offered to rid the town of the pests for a sum of money
When the mayor agreed the man drew out a pipe nothing funny
And walked all along the streets playing a haunting tune of wanting soon
All the rats came tumbling out of the houses and followed doom in the hollowed noon
Yes the Pied Piper to the Weser river where they all vernacular were drowned
In folklore when the Piper claims his reward the big mayor refused to pay him like a hound, the piper swore vengeance
Once more he walked along the streets... playing his strange melody
Quite like how the rats fell asleep, but this time all the children listened deep
And ran from their homes and followed him to a cave in the nearby hill
The cave closed up on 'em and the children were still never seen again, for real
In Greek mythology the craftsman and inventor Daedalus pending
After killing his apprentice Talos in envy, he fled from Greece to Crete
The Minotaur was a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a man
A tale haunting in the land
And in that time the craftsman Daedalus constructed a labyrinth
In which the monster was confined
At the order of the King of Crete
he built the Minotaur's labyrinth
to house the Minotaur, Many hero's wouldn't battle him
The labyrinth was an intricate building of chambers and passages
Constructed walls high and so as too complex and confuse a person inside
Daedalus's creation, the King of Crete eventually forced Athens to pay him
An annual tribute of seven youths and seven maidens
These he set up inside the labyrinth
where they either starved or were devoured
Finally Theseus joined a group of the victims and killed the Minotaur
Rain showered, and Daedalus when the king refused to let him leave Crete
Daedalus built wings of wax and feathers unique
for himself and his son Icarus
Together they flew away, but Icarus flew too close to the sun dunn
In that day
and fell to his death when the wax in his wings melted late
then after to Sicily, Daedalus escaped
