---

A yawning cave, dark and endless

Swelling barks of frenzied rage

Warder of the gates of Hades

Jailer of the dead

In the shadowed gulf of doom

Beware the cursed Cerberos

Dreaded hound who has no pity

Lies in wait and eats them up

Shakes the ends of the Earth

With barks from his three throats

Bristling snakes upon his necks

The blood of men enshrouds his coat

Lying in the darkened threshold

Reared up with all mouths wide

Scattering bones before him now

Ablaze his blood red eyes

Grisly death God

Hound of the pit
