Medusa

The light has gone

Now it fades as just a memory and the shadows run

From the petrified muses I gazed upon

In pain, in such an anguish, frozen lives undone

By the gorgon medusa, the soulless one, sealed their fate

This silent throng

So ordained by destiny, are now the lifeless ones

In the name of her sisters, revenge has come

She slays with such an anger, serpent-headed one

She's the last of the titans, her will be done, feel the rage

Caught in the mirrored reflection, I see her

Shielding my eyes from the deadliest gaze

Many have come where rock remains, testament here to medusa

There is a way only now do I see it

Lifeless grotesques of the galleried slain

Carelessly met their end this way, playing a part in medusa's game

She draws me on

"dare to look upon my face, you fool, your time has come

"I'm the terror no darkness can shield you from

"prepare to meet your maker mortal, turn to stone"

Let the shield be my eyes, soak my blade in blood, into the fray

Caught in the mirrored reflection, I see her

Shielding my eyes from the deadliest gaze

Many have come where rock remains, testament here to medusa

There is a way only now do I see it

Lifeless grotesques of the galleried slain

It doesn't have to end this way, breaking the rules of medusa's game
