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
