Medusa - Times of Grace

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

She slithers and gives herslf to the forbidden one

So cold th 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
