|
No man who beheld her could not fall |
|
She had eyes of diamond and silken hair |
|
Such a beauty was consumed inside |
|
The fire of pride burned in her heart |
|
That fire so many led to ruin |
|
Ended by being the cause of her disgrace |
|
Medusa dared to compare herself |
|
To the golden armed daughter of |
|
Zeus An affront the goddess could not bear |
|
A revenge so cruel made her who |
|
Was once by all loved and admired |
|
Become a monster feared by the whole mankind |
|
Medusa's beautiful hair turned to |
|
A tangle of poisonous snakes |
|
Horrible scales covered her skin |
|
Her eyes grew cold |
|
Her gaze as sharp as wind in a winter night |
|
Could chill the blood in the bravest heart |
|
Turning into stone whoever dared |
|
Into those hollow eyes to stare |
|
Her fate was so fulfilled |
|
She lurked quietly in her cave among statues of stone |
|
Brooding over her hate |
|
Shrouded in shades |
|
Medusa dared to compare herself |
|
To the golden armed daughter of |
|
Zeus An affront goddess could not bear |
|
A revenge so cruel made her who |
|
Was once by all loved and admired |
|
Become a monster feared by the whole mankind |
|
Those who beheld, froze in fear |
|
Drained of all their life |
|
At the sight |
