The Labors

[Verse 1]
I arrived in somber mire
Swallowed by miasma so vile
Goaded out, the poison clouds
Poured from each of its nine mouths
Battle raged, hammered a head
Was unfazed, two replaced damage
Scheme devised, an order defined
Hacked and cut, wounds cauterized

[Chorus]
Slain, Nemea's beast, lion slain, in less than thirty days
So sacrifice wasn't made
Now wearing its mystic pelt, no blade, spear nor arrow be felt
Killed, Lеrna's curse, hydra killed
Careful to avoid its brеath, a noxious threat
Now wielding its deadly blood, no man, monster, mystery shielded
Murderous

[Verse 2]
I was born, Zeus' pride
Hera's scorn, failed infanticide
She didn't relent, aimed abhorrence
My family forever silenced
Madness gone, they all had died
Blood on my arms, was horrified
Penance moored, well-being restored
If twelve labors could be conquered

[Chorus]
Slain, Nemea's beast, lion slain, in less than thirty days
So sacrifice wasn't made
Now wearing its mystic pelt, no blade, spear nor arrow be felt
Killed, Lerna's curse, hydra killed
Careful to avoid its breath, a noxious threat
Now wielding its deadly blood, no man, monster, mystery shielded
Murderous

[Post-Chorus]
With this my expiation ends

[Bridge]
This three-headed hound is nothing to me

[Chorus]
Slain, Nemea's beast, lion slain, in less than thirty days
So sacrifice wasn't made
Now wearing its mystic pelt, no blade, spear nor arrow be felt
Killed, Lerna's curse, hydra killed
Careful to avoid its breath, a noxious threat
Now wielding its deadly blood, no man, monster, mystery shielded
Murderous
