Oh once a hero took a journey to the swamps
Lion on his shoulders
He crossed the river to the gates of the underworld
Yet another task
    
Over the hills and the plains of the Argolid
Several deadly heads approaching again behind the warrior
    
Behold, behold, the poison deadly viper
The serpent of the mountain casts an evil spell
Behold, behold, the sword it won't divide her
Another head, another two will rip you all apart
    
Then she rises from the waters right before my eyes
There beyond the portal, that is where the Hydra hides
    
Hydra and the hounds, dragon is guarding the gates and it's taking your life
Hydra and the hounds, dragon is guarding the gates and it's taking your life
Hydra and the hounds, dragon is guarding the gates and it's taking your life
    
Oh now the serpent is taking your life
You cannot hide and you can't disguise
You'll wish you never had come to the mountains
To hunt for the beast, so now pray for your life
    
Oh now the serpent is taking your life
You cannot hide and you can't disguise
Fading away, all the blood that you shed will remind you
That you shouldn't have risked your life
Burning away all the heads you can take
Is it 6, is it 8, is it 10?
Goodbye to your life!
    
Oh once a hero took a journey to the swamps
Lion on his shoulders
He crossed the river to the gates of the underworld
Where he did not belong
    
Over the hills and the plains of the Argolid
Several deadly heads approaching again behind the warrior
    
Behold, behold, the calling of the Hydra
The growling is so deafening, she won't let you go
Behold, behold, the sword it won't divide her
Another head, another two will rip you all apart
    
Then she rises from the waters right before my eyes
There beyond the portal, that is where the Hydra hides
