In Greek mythology, Daedalus (Latin, also Hellenized Latin Daedalos, Greek Daidalos (Δαίδαλος) meaning "cunning worker", and Etruscan Taitale) was a skillful craftsman and artisan. He is the father of Icarus and Iapyx and the uncle of Perdix.
His parentage was supplied as a later addition to the mythos, providing him with a father in either Metion, Eupalamus or Palamaon, and a mother, either Alcippe, Athena,Iphinoe or Phrasimede. Daedalus had two sons: Icarus and Iapyx, along with a nephew, whose name was Perdix.
Athenians transferred Cretan Daedalus to make him Athenian-born, the grandson of the ancient king Erechtheus, who fled to Crete, having killed his nephew. Over time, other stories were told of Daedalus. In the nineteenth century, Thomas Bulfinch combined these into a single synoptic view of material which Andrew Stewart calls a "historically-intractable farrago of 'evidence', heavily tinged with Athenian cultural chauvinism"[citation needed].
Daedalus is first mentioned by Homer as the creator of a wide dancing-ground for Ariadne. He also created the Labyrinth on Crete, in which the Minotaur (part man, part bull) was kept. In the story of the labyrinth Hellenes told, the Athenian hero Theseus is challenged to kill the Minotaur, finding his way with the help of Ariadne's thread. Daedalus' appearance in Homer is in an extended simile, "plainly not Homer's invention," Robin Lane Fox observes: "he is a point of comparison and so he belongs in stories which Homer's audience already recognized." In Bronze Age Crete, an inscription da-da-re-jo-de has been read as referring to a place at Knossos, and a place of worship.

Plot: Animus is based on the concept of there being corruption in the justice system of Purgatory, allowing people to buy their way into Heaven. In Purgatory, Angels await the arrival of their Animus, a central soul shared between themselves and a Human counterpart. Their fates are intimately connected, but for a price, an Angel can have their sins extracted from their Animus, allowing them access to Heaven, even if they have sinned.

Genres: Drama,I. DENIAL
Afraid of the unknown
They refuse what is unclear
Hiding what they can't explain
So they no longer feel the fear
With tear that shines upon
Fear and anger that fight
Light and moon from now on
Are far from my sight
II. ANGER
Unable to cry your rage
Unable to scream your way
I feel trapped in this vicious maze
Unable to cry your rage
Unable to scream your way
I feel the doubts of my last day
Blinded within your soul
Running out of control
In darkness I'm forever lost
Blinded within your soul
Running out of control
In darkness my tears are lost
Drained from the past that lies in me
My slow demise, forsaken indeed
The truth will soon reveal
My release from lucidity
Reveries... nothing as they seemed
Unable to cry your rage
Unable to scream your way
Unable to cry your rage
Blinded within your soul
Running out of control
Unable to cry your rage
III. BARGAINING
Doorway of silence
Troubeled visions
Will soon reveal
That should have never been seen
Inception forever rising
The outline of those years
Memories searing his fall
Longing to dispense of all
IV. DEPRESSION
The emptiness that drains my brainb
The muteness of those noises
Reaching the depts of my maze
Splintered before my eyes
V. ACCEPTANCE
Finding my reason
I escaped my prison
Destroyed from my own sanity
