Suffocate The Ignorant Lyrics

Thebes, lost in the heart of Beotia

Strangled by the mythic strangler

Well-known under the name of sphinx

Demon of bad luck, destruction and death

Sent by the goddess Hera

To reprimand the royal murder

Sphinx!

Winged lion with a female head

Fruit of an unhealthy copulation between Typhon and Echidna

You accomplish your vile destiny

Devastating meadows

Terrorizing Inhabitants

A regicidal people...

A kingdom cursed by gods...

A devastated country...

A city on fire and blood...

Installed on a high rock

You call out to the passer-by

Submit them a riddle learnt by the Musesa

And strangle with no mercy... to suffocate the ignorant!

Creon, regent of the bloody city

To stop the carnage

Decides to offer the Thebes crownKronos - Suffocate The Ignorant - http://motolyrics.com/kronos/suffocate-the-ignorant-lyrics.html

To anyone who might annihilate the scourge

Everybody fails

The beast victims number is still growing

Oedipus!

Courageous hero

Coming from nowhere and searching for glory

You are the only one

Defying the guardian of the truth

You will liberate this decimate land

[Sphinx:] "Welcome courageous mortal, endeavour to give me the right reply or you will die..."

[Oedipus:] "Ask me your question, I'm ready and I will find the answer!"

[Sphinx:] "What animal is that which in the morning goes on four feet, at noon on two, and in the evening upon three?"

[Oedipus:"] "... Man! Who in the childhood creeps on hands and knees, in manhood walks erect, and in old age with the aid of a staff"

Sphinx!

A simple mortal solves your riddle

So mortified!

You hurl yourself on your stone

And perish... Eternally!

This is the end!

Of the malediction

Let's begin

The reign of Oedipus!
