lyrics

From the Titan of the sea
Of massive limb and strength

Polyphemus the Cyclops
Enemy of men

Landed here from merciless ocean
On the rocky shore we crawled
Starved and thirsting, grown haggard
Our journey never ends
A dim cave espied
A refuge from the blazing sun
Victuals and water
To sustain our weariness

Great shadow filled the door
A beast of human form
Single staring eye in his forehead

With crashing step he strode
Striking terror in brave hearts
Heaved a boulder across the cave
And devoured two comrades
The sound of crunching bone
Blood spurting from mouths
Macerated features
Inhospitable cannibal

Each night kept prisoner
Each day the fear of being eaten alive

Polyphemus the Cyclops
Devourer of men

Human stench filled the cave

Polyphemus the Cyclops
Devourer of men

The slop of organs in the dirt

Beaten asleep by fumes of wine
In pool of putrid blood he slumbered
Fire-hardened stake our ploy
Ten men to lift the weapon
And in the night as he slept
Plunged into his awful eye

The great monster roared in pain
Sightless with dark foaming blood
Thrashing out with rage
Bellowing to the mountains:

“I am Polyphemus who you blind
Son of Poseidon the Titan
By all my force and strength
I will be your death”

In mortal fear we cowered
The longest night in that cave of rotten blood

When daylight dawned pale
The blinded Cyclops arose
In agony counted precious rams
As they passed the cave mouth
Seething with humiliation
Yet seeing not the truth
Of every man passing him
Concealed beneath the rams

Sought the cruel ocean again
And casting off from shore
Cast a yell upon the wind:

“We are the legend who took revenge
On the devourer of men”

With inhuman strength
He hurled a boulder and roared:

“Polyphemus, son of Poseidon
Lays a curse on thee”
