Oedipus Rex

Forever cursed to an evil fate

I was walking down the triple roads at a fast paced rate

I saw a man with his band

and as he struck me with his hand

and I who was just a pedestrian

slew them like a barbarian

for since we had a failure to communicate

the signs pointed later to indicate

that he was my dad

and I would be so sad

I blinded myself and resigned myself to living a cursed life

for I had fulfilled that which was laid upon me

that which I failed miserably

to escape from


"Alas Alas" the city cries

Alas for Oedipus Rex

Who of all our townsmen gazed not on his fame with envious eyes?

Now, in what a sea of troubles sunk and overwhelmed he lies!

Therefore wait to see life's ending before thou count one mortal blest;

Wait till free from pain and sorrow he has gained his final rest.

I killed my father and married my mother

when she should have married another

I sullied my family name

and put myself to shame

the prophet warned that it would be this way

after I tried so hard to make him say

who the killer really was

"Alas Alas" the city cries

Alas for Oedipus Rex

Who of all our townsmen gazed not on his fame with envious eyes?

Now, in what a sea of troubles sunk and overwhelmed he lies!

Therefore wait to see life's ending before thou count one mortal blest;

Wait till free from pain and sorrow he has gained his final rest.
