Medusa -

I live in the shadows

My habits are perilous and grim

My perfume is venom

Acrid and alluring as sin

You’ll never be free of me

You can’t help it

When you’re listening to my voice

You’re mesmerized,

Hypnotized

I blacken the headlines

I’m the gruesome story on at ten

I’m the villain in the schoolyard, I’m the prince who shot his father

The grinning teenage mother who drowned her baby daughter

And you’ll never be free of me

You can’t help it

When you’re gazing upon my face

You’re petrified,

Paralyzed

Enter my world, see what you’ll see

And you will be a firmament, a testament

To the horror that is me

Look in my eyes

I know you can’t turn away

Look in my eyes

And you will be my slave

Where is the line?

You crossed so long ago

What is this wreck you claim to be soul?

(Where is the line? You crossed so long ago) Where is the line?

(What is this wreck you claim to be soul?) Where lies the soul?

I know you love me

Say you’ll never go

You belong to me

This curse is now my throne

Don’t you want to touch me?

Can you feel the way it burns?

I’m not stopping

Till the earth has turned to stone
