From the Sun to the Sea (Pt.1)

A great inventor I was born to be, My father's goal, my destiny. But little by little as I grew, We found that this would not be true. For though his love did not lack, I was a thorn in his side, a knife in his back. Let's start from the beginning, or at least for me, Born to sink into the sea. My mother a slave, my father no more, But his genius caused the fruits he bore. A king named Minos found him one day, And decided he wanted my father to stay.
