Medusa’s Gaze

[Verse 1]
Seductive entrancing form beckons with its gaze
Gently leading on, reeking of decay
(Surreal desolation) Darkened, faded eyes
Stare on, undisturbed
Sinking further into isolation
Endless dream unfolds
Self-destructive hallucination
Blindly stumbling on

[Bridge 1]
The husk she couldn’t burn
Human turned to urn

[Verse 2]
In deep parasitic infestation
Ruthless intent exposed
Entrenched, the creature feeds its craving lust
By consuming other living forms

[Bridge 2]
What is the meaning of this?
Not what it seems

[Verse 3]
One chance to free the heart from enslavement
Petrifying awe
Too late, the realization all is lost
The hopeless longing to return
Those sunken reflections won't surface
All thinking is numbed
It’s gone, all hollow
That future destroyed

[Verse 4]
Charmed by the snakes
Hypnotized by their stare
Drawn in to her tricks
Again one last time
