You saw sagacious Solomon You know what came of him To him complexities seems plain He cursed the hour that gave birth to him And saw everything was vain How great and wise was SolomonThe world however didn't wait But soon observed what followed on Its wisdom that had brought him to this state How fortunate the man with none How fortunate the man with noneYou saw courageous Caesar next You know what he became They defied him in his life Then had him murdered just the same And as they raised the fatal knife How loud he cried, "You too my son"The world however didn't wait But soon observed what followed on Its courage that had brought him to that state How fortunate the man with none How fortunate the man with noneYou heard of honest Socrates The man who never lied They werent so grateful as youd think Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried And handed him the poisoned drink How honest was the peoples noble sonThe world however didn't wait But soon observed what followed on Its honesty that brought him to that state How fortunate the man with none How fortunate the man with noneHere you can see respectable folk Keeping to Gods own laws So far He hasnt taken heed You who sit safe and warm indoors Help to relieve out bitter need How virtuously we had begunThe world however didn't wait But soon observed what followed on Its fear of God that brought us to that state How fortunate the man with none How fortunate the man with none
Into the Labyrinth (в пер. с англ. "вглубь лабиринта") — шестой студийный альбом группы Dead Can Dance, выпущенный на британском лейбле 4AD в сентябре 1993 года. Первый альбом, записанный Джеррард и Перри без приглашённых сессионных музыкантов и первый альбом, выпущенный по договорённости с 4AD на лейбле-мейджоре — WEA.
Песни The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove и The Carnival Is Over были выпущены как радиосинглы (коммерческого выпуска на CD не было). Композиция Yulunga была выпущена на промо-сингле к фильму Baraka. На композиции The Carnival Is Over и Yulunga были сняты видеоклипы.
Название альбома Into the Labyrinth намекает на древнегреческий миф о Тесее, отправившегося в лабиринт, чтобы сразиться с Минотавром.
