I am the Theban rebel,
Who's heart is plated gold,
I am the Theban rebel,
Who comes from legend of old.

I am the Theban rebel,
I'll sneak out in the night,
I am the Theban rebel,
I'll give the dead their rights.

I am the Theban rebel,
Fear the strength of women,
I am the Theban rebel,
Your pain is just beginning.

I am the Theban rebel,
Nothing you can do will hurt me,
I am the Theban rebel,
Send me to my deathbed early.

I am the Theban rebel,
The root of all your pain,
I am the Theban rebel,
I've no innocence to feign.

I am the Theban rebel,
Send me down to Hades halls,
I am the Theban rebel
For a just and noble cause.
