The Lion, the Goat, the Serpent - Arezzo Lyrics

You're the only one who found a way
To kill the Chimera exploiting her own skills.
So your leaden spearhead
Stuck in the throat of the beast
Has melted between tongues of fire.

Prostrate suffering is this terrible beast
As it was a leaden statue
Created by renowned Etruscan artisans
Itself symbolizes this alloy
Fusion of beasts, beasts in nature.
Partly snake, that is flexible like tin,
Partly goat, that serves mankind as the lead,
And partly lion, that like fire is a symbol of strength.

It lies before thee triumphant Bellerophon,
Beautiful and powerful you raise on Pegasus' back
The golden bridle glisten on his neck and in your hands
Especially created for you!

But be careful, do not get blind by their brilliance
You may fall from the clouds one day!
You may fall from the clouds one day!
So your leaden spearhead
Stuck in the throat of the beast
Has melted between tongues of fire!

Partly snake, that is flexible like tin,
Partly goat, that serves mankind as lead,
And partly lion, that like fire is a symbol of strength.

Beautiful and powerful you raise on Pegasus' back,
The golden bridle glisten on his neck and in your hands!
The golden bridle glisten on his neck and in your hands!
It lies before thee, triumphant Bellerophon!
that is flexible like tin,
Partly goat, that serves mankind as lead,
And partly lion, that like fire is a symbol of strength!
It lies before thee triumphant Bellerophon!
