Theseus bold Athenian prince
Away to Crete walks the sea-road
Seven youths and seven maids
Sacrifices to sins of the queen
Mighty warrior Minotaur mains
Kills the monster Cretan horror
Steals the princess stealthy departs
With children of Athens creeping for home
Hero he's called for hard-won battle
How much more honor heaven bestows
To Lord on High who harrowed hell
Descended the depths devil to fight
Satan he's conquered sin's first father
Ancient enemy evil's own author
Tough-hided minotaur mere thrall in his hall
But Christ defeats him drives him down deep
Binds him in chains chastises him well
No mere fourteen led forth from that place
Just forefathers gentle virgins
Righteous prophets pagans of virtue
Died in darkness devil did claim them
But no longer he holds them the Lord sets them free
Leads them all laughing to light-lands above
Til one remains - Mother Eve
Ariadne was left languished on Naxos
Eve asks for mercy in Mary's name
Bright daughter descended from sinful woman
Of her Christ was born brought into the world
One sacrifice for all even for Eve
He lifts her up helps her to heaven
Most mighty hero all hall-fame his due
No man surpasses his masterful deeds
Praise his name people who hear this
