lyrics

A common coward who needs the gods
A golden boy in name and name alone
A son of power, but not his own
Adept at stalking, his ego to bemoan

But in the cave I do perceive you
The head of Perseus my prize
There’s no assistance to relieve you
There’s only parchment filled with lies

Prey of Medusa, the killer queen
Your godly gifts are as impotent as you
Your only hardness comes from her gaze
There is no mirror shield to rescue you

Wrath of Athena won’t hold her
The Gorgon is very alive
Holding the head of her hunter
Medusa still kills with her eyes

Gorgon eyes eat your soul
Perseus cried, paid his toll
Tales reversed, heads will roll
Medusa’s leer, black as coal
