Two monsters Echidna and Typhoon 
Couldn't father nothing else but a monster 
And Cerber came to life 
A huge dog with three heads 
A neck bustling with snakes 
And teeth which, as the viper 
Poisoned you at each bite 
His mission would be to watch over 
Banished human flesh 

He became the hellkeeper 
His lair on the Styx side 
He was the one who welcomed 
The shadows of the dead in hell 
But never let them come out 

Tricephallic Hellkeeper! 

The fate of the mortal ones 
Who attempted to get into his domain 
Was death, cut to shred 
By the inflexible gaoler 


He was the hellkeeper 
His lair on the Styx side 
He was the one who welcomed 
The shadows of the dead in hell 
But never let them come... out! 

But Cerber was not so invulnerable 
Even he, had weaknesses 
One was gluttony 
Twice wheedled with food 
By Psyche and Diphobe 
To walk through the gate of hell 
Orphee put him to sleep with singing 

Lastly, humiliated 
Subdued and brought back to earth 
Half choked by Heracles 
But the earthly land was not a place for him 
Unequalled underworld rampart 
He was given back to the kingdom of the dead 
The kingdom of the dead 

He was the hellkeeper 
His lair on the Styx side 
He was the one who welcomed 
The shadows of the dead in hell 
But never let them come out.
