lyrics

So I reach my twelfth and true final labor,
My penance for my darkest sin and deepest regret.
I must make you submit, dear Cerberus,
And bring you back to the land of the living.
It won't return my family to life,
Or even ease my suffering,
But it will please the gods.
So Cerberus, you will submit.
Through the grace of Persephone,
And by the strength of my bare hands,
Cerberus,
You will submit.


When was your last real fight?
Now stuck at your post
Fight a solid man
Instead of barking at ghosts

And what did you do
To get bound to this gate?
It must have been grave
To befall such a fate

Don't judge me
A mere mortal unarmed
No one makes that mistake
And continues unharmed

You've got three heads?
I've dealt with more
But I bet if I cut one off
You can't grow back yours

Legend says most monsters
Were birthed by your mother
Then chances are that
I've killed some of your brothers

And if your mother bore
These monsters through vile trysts
Then she must be
The ugliest woman to exist


I'll choke three necks at once
Force three heads to bow
Bite me with your dragon tail
But I've got you now!
Submit!
Submit!
Submit!

My cousin's gonna regret ever asking for you,
Hmph...
Don't worry, I'll bring you back.
