Labyrinth Script 1995 Script example 2

Daedalus

I grew famous
forging metal
What was wrought,
annealed, complete
Leaped my hand
and lived a little
under the blue air

When he gained in skill
breathing vital motion into form rivalling my mastery
Rumour crowned him
jealousy stifled my craft
twisting my heart
The accident was unplanned perhaps opportune
a loosening of chains sudden crushing force and a wind rushing the forge
He lay, perfect in every limb but for the slow red flower
above his eye
Naturally
I was blamed

 

 

 

 



 

Understanding Echo 2000 Script download

 

Echo

Sometimes I think
I am really all alone
With my fictions
And the world is
A mirror suspended over me
Like a small sky.


It’s strange
But time has no limit here
Sometimes a leaf drifts across
Taking days
Otherwise, otherwise
I am as silent as a log


Shh! I can definitely
hear an echo.
If I speak,
Would you please repeat the words
Are you ready?
I love you.

 

Triple Echo 2003 Script download

 

Orpheus

They
Talk very loud
And prohibit song
I met them in a car park
And their eyes spoke volumes
Later they came by and
elucidated
With a long stare
This is the moment to be going
But I cannot leave
I turn and see you waiting on
that long slope
And my feet won’t move
That is the cost
And we are lost

 

Hosts 2005 Script download

Hosts

Ask for what you need
Inspiration is survivable
Too much is enough
The future is negotiable
Tolerance breeds anger
