We sailed on, though sick at heart    Heavy rowing broke the slaves    On the sixth day, the sun didn't rise    As we headed from the east    Then we came upon land of th Laistrygones    Horrendous legendary fiends       These residents, an old children's myth    The flesh of human men they eat       Bloodbath    Skin reapers    Slaughter    Meat gatherers    Cannibal    Massacre!!!       The harbors ingress, a narrow precipice    All the boats steer themselves in    I tied my ship to a rock beyond    The entrance to this bordered niche    Three scouts we're sent, on reconnaissance    What abides beyond these cliffs?    At Artakia's stream, they met a giant dame    The daughter of King Antiphates       The towering palace a lofty keep    The gruesome queen stands fifty feet    She called her king to greet his guests    Ripped one in two and ate the rest       The terrifying king cried out!       Arise! Barbaric Laystrigones!    Our meat has come to us. Tonight we gnaw on humans.       Swarms of them came, lawless giant guild    Hurling rocks from the cliffs    A violent roar, from the din of streams    Amid my fleet as men we're killed    Spearing men like fish, to my astonishment    Stacking bodies on a stick    We sailed on, though sick at heart    Barely thwarting perishment       Bloodbath    Skin reapers    Slaughter    Meat gatherers    Cannibal    Massacre!!!
