Welcome to Thebes, you daring traveler!
Because of your wisdom, I have lifted its cover!
Free now you can pass, free now you can enter!

Oh what an insult to the keeper of the gate?
To itself, to herself..it is/she is…full of hate!
What a shame? What a madness? What a miserable fate?!

How come that a wretched being like you surpass…
This riddle that for ages no sages encompass?!
What in your brain do you have to provoke such bad ***?!

Oh shame on my face for such a disgrace!
I am like a runner who lost in my own game of race!
Now the time has come to shatter myself like a flower vase!

As I fell into pieces from this glorious pedestal…
I curse your brain that’s whimsical! I curse your eyes that are abnormal!
Embrace this Curse of the Dying Sphinx! Your brain & eyes are fatal!

Behold Oedipus! Witness how a small brain destroys the whole body!
Your brain!...Your odd, little brain…will now be the end of me!
Farewell, Enigma-Breaker! It hurts to see you breaking free!
