The Revenge of Scylla Lyrics


Beautiful, once she was

Son of God, fell in love

Looking for help to conquer her eyes

Ignites a fire of jealousy and lies

Potion of love made poison and pain

Circe the sorceress plays her game

Down to the waters silently goes

Pernicious vial there she pours

Six long necks, grisly heads

Monster legs, horro bred

The kiss of the water was never so cold

She cries in despair as the nightmare unfolds

Where is the beauty that everyone praised?

Non has been left, her youth has decayed

No one shall love this frightful beast

Her name will spread fear from the West to the East!

Deep-sea cave, still she waits

Hungry and cold, hundreds more

Lurking beneath the surface of the blue

Ships and mariners shall get through

Boiling waters, rotten winds

The macabre feast now begins

Sharpened teeth, abyss of her mouth

"They writhed, gasping as Scylla swung them up her cliff

And there, at her cavern's mouth,

She bolted them down raw,

Screaming out, flinging their arms towards me,

Lost in that mortal struggle"

(The Odyssey - Homer)
