Lyrics

This is Creon, brother-in-law to Oedipus
He has returned from Delphi where he consulted the oracle
The oracle demands that the murderer of Laius be punished
The murderer is hiding in Thebes
At whatever cost, he must be discovered
Oedipus boasts of his skill in solving riddles
He will discover the murderer and drive him from the city
Written by: Igor Stravinsky, Jean Cocteau
