The 11th Labor of Hercules Songtext
von Lissa Schneckenburger

I′ve traveled through the wasteland,
Slain the hydra and the boar.
For atonement I have labored
And I'm bound to labor more

But what turn of fate confronts me now
This being by my side
I′ll embrace him as he changes
Into beasts and brutes and dangers
I pray I'll make it out alive
Oh out alive

You were mothered by the Adriatic Sea
Every squall, every storm, troubled through your body
Now you shake and you twist
Into talon, fang, and fist.

Do you know what it is to be held
The way I hold you now?


First you become a mighty whale
Then you become a shark
As all the violence you've endured
Turns thunder in my arms

Oh you change into a lion,
A viper, and a ram
But beneath you′re just a child
With your hair grown long and wild
I′ll care for you the best I can
Oh best I can

You were mothered by the Adriatic sea
Every squall, every storm, troubled through your body
Now you shake and you twist
Into talon, fang, and fist.

Do you know what it is to be held
The way I hold you now?
...

You were mothered by the Adriatic sea
Every squall, every storm, troubled through your body
Now you shake and you twist
Into talon, fang, and fist.

Do you know what it is to be held
The way I hold you now?
