Medusa - Bob Catley

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

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

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

Breaking the rules of Medusa’s game
