Scylla and Charybdis Dub Threat Lyrics

Water boils deep a hungry swirling doom

Shadows move fast a jagged rocky tomb

Hear the beast roar a chilling hollow sound

Narrow passage where no safety can be found

Choose your monster or the whirlpool will take

Scylla's jaws wait no sailor can forsake

Double danger on this fateful ocean ride

One way surely where brave sailors have died

Six long necks reach with sharp and hungry teeth

Swallowing sailors bringing bitter grief

On the other side a gaping watery grave

Vessel sinking where no courage can save

Hold the steering tight make the hardest turn

Every moment where harsh lessons we learn

Pray to gods now for mercy and for might

Passage deadly in the fading pale light

Choose your monster (monster) or the whirlpool will take

Scylla's jaws wait (jaws wait) no sailor can forsake

Double danger (danger) on this fateful ocean ride

One way surely (surely) where brave sailors have died
