Medusa

Yeah In the clutches of the serpent, struggling to breathe The drone of darkness plays the hymn of the serpentine I felt the life escape my body and my soul Upon the neck of my innocence, watch it hang by the gallows slow Trapped in her stare, Medusa Turning my heart into stone My cross to bear, Medusa Turn away from her face With a touch and a whisper, she'll lay you to waste (lay you to waste) She slithers and gives herself to the forbidden one So cold, the grip of betrayal, I've become undone Trapped in her stare, Medusa Turning my heart into stone My cross to bear, Medusa You won't kill the love in me Trapped in her stare, Medusa She breathed her first breath Her eyes set to slow death It captured, enraptured me It was deception at best Slithering serpent succubus silent Her entrapment is so clever it doesn't feel violent But in time when clutches tighten to smother To take the will of her prey So I pray for deliverance I cried out to the skies Release me and give me the wisdom to read lies After chapter upon chapter, I began to regain my strength To break the cycle of this venomous refrain And I will live again You won't kill the love in me You won't kill the love in me From Demon eyes, I'm finally free You won't kill the love in me
