Letra de Sphinx's Riddle

The Sphinx had been sent To the kingdom of Thebes, to curse With lion body, dragon wings A woman's face and breasts Frightening monster in the altar of madness watches The pathway to Thebes, testing all grieved souls The riddle they request the one that mortals must divine And should they fail she would lift and quarter them The royal animal, with claws seizes her victims Pulling them up to their feet, the mutilated bodies The stench of death infects the deceivers A burning slaughter she desires, with no regrets Oedipus got it right The riddle was unveiled, Oedipus was to blame The sphinx committed suicide off the cliffs she threw herself.
