(The goddess fierce Echidna!) In no wise like either to mortal men, Or to the undying gods themselves! (The goddess fierce Echidna!) Half a nymph with glancing eyes And fair cheeks so full of life, And half again a huge snake, So awful and so great, The goddess fierce Echidna! (The goddess fierce Echidna!) The Mother of Monsters! (Mother of Monsters!) The source of countless horrors, Her dreadful sons and daughters. Embodiment of chaos and untamable nature, Fearsome aspects of a world full of danger. The Mother of Monsters! (Mother of Monsters!) With speckled skin, eating raw flesh 'Neath the secret parts of the holy earth. (The goddess fierce Echidna!) A nymph who dies not nor grows old all her days, The goddess fierce Echidna! (The goddess fierce Echidna!) Typhon the terrible, Outrageous and lawless, Was joined in love to her, The maid with glancing eyes. The goddess fierce Echidna! The Mother of Monsters! (Mother of Monsters!) The source of countless horrors, Her dreadful sons and daughters. Embodiment of chaos and untamable nature, Fearsome aspects of a world full of danger. The Mother of Monsters! (Mother of Monsters!) So she conceived and brought forth offspring fierce, Orthus the hound of Geryones was first, And then again she bare a second, Cerberus who eats raw flesh, the brazen-voiced hound of Hades. The evil-minded Hydra of Lerna, The Chimaera who breathed raging fire, The deadly Sphinx and the Nemean lion, All among her monstrous scions. The Mother of Monsters! (Mother of Monsters!) The goddess fierce Echidna! The Mother of Monsters! (Mother of Monsters!) The source of countless horrors, Her dreadful sons and daughters. Embodiment of chaos and untamable nature, Fearsome aspects of a world full of danger. The Mother of Monsters! (Mother of Monsters!)
