**[Verse 1]** Beneath the marsh where the black waters crawl A thousand dead roots rise like a wall Nine heads awaken beneath the mist Fangs like daggers, venom on their lips Hercules enters with fire in his eyes The beast coils beneath the blood-red skies He raises his sword, hears the monster roar Then strikes one neck — and two rise from the floor **[Pre-Chorus]** One head falls Two return Cut the flesh Watch it burn **[Chorus]** Cut one head — two rise again Hydra screaming in the poisoned rain Strike the serpent, break its spine Every victory gives it life Nine black shadows twist and crawl Hissing echoes through the marshland call Hercules stands where the dead waters flow Against a beast that will not die below **[Verse 2]** Another strike tears through the night Another head falls beneath his might But from the wound, the nightmare grows Two more serpents rise and close Venom drips from the crooked jaws Ancient hatred without a cause The ground is burning beneath his feet The hero refuses to taste defeat **[Pre-Chorus]** One head falls Two return Blood runs black The waters burn **[Chorus]** Cut one head — two rise again Hydra screaming in the poisoned rain Strike the serpent, break its spine Every victory gives it life Nine black shadows twist and crawl Hissing echoes through the marshland call Hercules stands where the dead waters flow Against a beast that will not die below **[Bridge]** Then comes the head that death can't claim Immortal eyes and a crown of flame Hercules learns what the monster demands Not every battle is won by the blade in your hands Burn the wounds Seal the scars Drag the monster from the dark **[Breakdown]** ONE HEAD! TWO MORE! CUT IT DOWN! IT RETURNS! ONE HEAD! TWO MORE! BLOOD AND FIRE! HYDRA ROARS! **[Final Chorus]** Cut one head — two rise again But the hero will not yield to them Strike the serpent, cauterize the wound Drag the beast from its poisoned tomb Nine black shadows fall apart Fire burning through the monster's heart Hercules stands as the Hydra dies Beneath the wrath of immortal skies **[Outro]** One head... Two heads... No more rise. The marsh grows still. The Hydra is buried beneath the stone— But its immortal head... Still watches from below.
