FAor too long, OeFdipus had ponFdered on the past
WonAdering if the oraFcle was tFrue
The anAswer soon cFame with the meFssenger
WAho broFught the nFews
JocFasta quesFtioned him; foFund that Polybus was dead
ThFat's right, Oedipus' sFo-called dad; he's dFead, that's what I said
SicFkness tFook ol' PoFlybus down
FHe just couFldn't win the fFight
But OedFipus wFas supposed to kFill him
WFas the orFacle just nFot right?
ReaFssurance slFightly returned to OeFdipus' head
But Fhe still feFared the thought of his moFther's bed
AFway from CorFinth, Oedipus wFould stay
F F (No chords) F
Would he return? Yeah right, that would be the day
The meDmssenger then brFought even mFore dreadful words
DmHe had saved OedFipus while watFching his herd
DDmoubt was preFsent; viFsions were blurred
The thDmought of the sitFuation Fwas just absurd
But thDmere were the sFcars of the pFins and the tree
And JoDmcasta foFund the truth of her shAady memories
OeFdipus sAment for the seFrvant of LFaius the king
NFot looking Amout for hFis own wFell being
OedFipus was detAmermined, the queFstions he did aFsk
FHe must Amknow the tFruth of his pFast
The sheFpherd was relAmuctant; the seFcrets he would nFot reveal
TFhe suspense is buiAmlding; Fit all seems Fso surreal
AFfter threatening the sheAmpherd, trFying to start a bFrawl
ODmedipus found that the orFacle was tFrue after all
JoDmcasta fFound the trFuth out all along
DmHer and her sFon, eww, tFhat's just wrong
DmShe knew what had hapFpened, her mFind was a wreck
She foDmund eternal haFppiness in the rFope around her neck
OeDmdipus heard that sFhe was dead; he bFroke into the chamber
He Dmsaw Jocasta haFnging there; he couFldn't control his anger
Dm (softly)
Sooo..... (Here comes Slipknot)
(no chords) E
He pushed the pins into his eyes
It's the oFnly thing that slowly stopped the pAain
Of hFis denial, it was all in vAain
HFis decree, he must now oAbey
And foFrever, in exFile he will stAay.
