rived 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 un fazed, two replaced damage
Scheme devised, an order defined, hacked and cut,
Slain Nemea's beast, lion slain, in less than thirty days,
Now wearing its mystic pelt, no blade,
Killed Lerna's curse, hydra killed,
careful to avoid its breath, a nox ious threat
Now wielding its deadly blood no man, monster,
mystery shielded murderous!
I was born Zeus' pride, Hera's scorn,
She didn't relent, aimed abhorrence,
my family forever si lenced
Madness gone, they all had died,
blood on my arm s, was horrified
Penance moored, well- being restored, if twelve labors,
Slain Nemea's beast, lion slain, in less than thirty days,
Now wearing its mystic pelt, no blade,
Killed Lerna's curse, hydra killed,
careful to avoid its breath, a nox ious threat
Now wielding its deadly blood no man, mon ster,
mystery shielded murderous!
With this my expiation ends!
This three- headed hound is nothing to me
Slain Nemea's beast, lion slain, in less than thirty days,
Now wearing its mystic pelt, no blade,
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!
