'no escaping it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'true god shaped zion' is the wordplay.
'true' becomes 'even' (similar in meaning).
'god' becomes 'thor' (Thor is an example).
'shaped' indicates an anagram.
'zion' is an anagram of 'izon'.
'even'+'thor'+'izon'='EVENT HORIZON'

'there's' is the link.
