Hydra

Bob Catley


A golden silence reigned against the din 
Jason spoke of many things 
The seas of anguish, the lands of mystery 
That none before had ever seen 
At the edge of the world, earth shaking boulders 
Fall from the sky like a storm cloud of rain 
As the saga unfolds, fate stirs the cauldron 
Talos awaits until then, when... 

Drawn by the fleece of gold 
Legends and stories told, oh, of the Hydra 
Ground by these teeth of stone 
Destiny calling home, oh, to the Hydra 

He tore like canvas, as echoes from within 
Cursed the ropes that cut his skin 
He turned the Argo's, prow into the wind 
And laid a course for Talasyn 
For Athena looked down, over their shoulders 
Gentle protector and guardian of fate 
To a strange land they came, voyage weary soldiers 
Finding themselves face to fate 

Oh, drawn by the fleece of gold 
Legends and stories told, oh, of the Hydra 
Ground by these teeth of stone 
Destiny calling home, oh, to the Hydra 

At the edge of the world, earth shaking boulders 
Fall from the sky like a storm cloud of rain 
As the saga unfolds, fate stirs the cauldron 
Talos awaits until then 

Drawn by the fleece of gold 
Legends and stories told, oh, of the Hydra 
Ground by these teeth of stone 
Destiny calling home, oh, to the Hydra 

Drawn by the fleece of gold 
Legends and stories told, oh, of the Hydra 
Ground by these teeth of stone 
Destiny calling home, oh, to the Hydra 
Oh - to the Hydra!
