It's a pop song title...

I think the implied violence could be construed to fit with the lynching motif.

yeah. as in "people are going to get punished/screamed at/etc if this thing doesn't happen." or "if they don't fix my cable by six tonight, heads will roll"

but yes, the violent implication (i.e. people are going to get their heads chopped off) is enough to make it appropriate for a mafia setting.

Still, I like Hydrated better.

Heads will roll also somewhat fits with Mara's tendancy to go after her scum reads really hard when she's sure of her read. As well as a nice reference to her hydras :P

Does Mara win more as a hydra than she does as a solo?

Because if so then maybe Two Heads Are Better Than One?

let's ignore that and focus on how this quality that [people who play mafia in general] have meshes well with the hydra reference that is actually what makes mara distinctive

But Heads Will Roll sounds like she's devoutly anti-hydra.

Speaking of Hercules,
Get Up On The Hydra's Back
could be a decent one maybe? I'm entirely too lazy to look up her winrate with hydras (or if she's 'town leader'-esque), but if it's high:
- Hydra reference
- to put someone on their back = to carry = to be the sole reason for victory (basically)
- meme reference

[edit] I was thinking of this before catching up on the thread and zor provided the best segue <_<

Actually Get up on the Hydra's Back sounds pretty good,

Since at least in my hydra with her (Amethyst Actor)
She tends to be the leader of the hydra. (Other hydra buddies of hers opinions may vary.)
