Pay the ultimate price from cradle to grave For the sins committed by my father, the mighty Zeus Poisoned by my stepmother, my nemesis, the hateful Hera Suffering on a scale unknown to men Determined to make my life a living hell Sending madness into my dreams Turned the loved ones into the hated to be killed Committing the most unspeakable horrors of all times... With my blood covered body I woke up from this nightmare Bloodstains mark the guilt on me, the guilt I have to bear My bloodrage subsides into intense remorse An anguish which will plague me forever...
My bloodguilt...
To be purified from the everlasting grief Slay the golden Lion from the caves of Nemea The ferocious monster, this warrior killer Devours their remains and leaves their bones to rot
As told by child: “Within thirty days if you'll return alive In your father's honour, a lion sacrifice”
Try to slay this beast with skin as steel Not to be harmed by arrow, claws in my skin Stunned this monster with my club and with my strength I strangled it to death
As told by man: “If not returned alive As a mourning offering, a ram sacrifice”
My bloodguilt...
As told by Gods, noticing my plight “To skin this pelt, use its claws as knives”
On the thirtieth day, I returned alive With carcass on my back, the King stunned Amazed and terrified of my success This was only the beginning of it allTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
