Medusa

Treading lightly under veil of darkness Through the statues of her terrifying gaze Senses sharper than the sword in my hand I won't falter, in getting through this maze Once a priestess of Athena, young and pure Beauty like no one had ever seen before Forced and raped she was and left ashamed and cold For Poseidon's greed could never be controlled True love could never be enough To shield the priestess from this wrath Punished for being just herself Condemned in shame and death Mighty heroes have come to fear your name Oh Medusa, creature of the night You will suffer, forever drown in pain Oh Medusa, your cries echo in the dark Turning everyone to stone with one glance All she ever did was to defend her life Damned in solitude forever in the dark Curse of envy, could never be undone Getting close to where the dreaded gorgon lies With my shield like mirror shining oh so bright I hear the hissing of the snakes approaching One swift blow, her head is mine at last True love could never be enough To shield the priestess from this wrath Punished for being just herself Condemned in shame and death Mighty heroes have come to fear your name Oh Medusa, creature of the night You will suffer, forever drown in pain Oh Medusa, your cries echoing Deep in anguish you'll dwell for all your days Oh Medusa, with the deadly gaze You will suffer, forever drown in pain Oh Medusa, your cries echo in the dark Mighty heroes have come to fear your name Oh Medusa, creature of the night You will suffer, forever drown in pain Oh Medusa, your cries echoing Deep in anguish you'll dwell for all your days Oh Medusa, with the deadly gaze You will suffer, forever drown in pain Oh Medusa, your cries echo in the dark
