Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Endless curse, blood runs cold
Evil stares will turn your flesh to stone
Land of doom, world of sin
All subside, don't venture near the islands where she lives
Oh, she'll suck you in
[Bridge]
Destroyer of life
Demon
Oh, I'm ready to strike
Gorgon
[Verse 2]
Serpent's bride, the end awaits
Human prey, no swords or armor shield you from your fate
Hey you, you can't escape
Wicked smile, full of lies
Heads of snakes, approach her cave but don't look in her eyes
Oh, her eyes
[Bridge]
Destroyer of life
Demon
Oh, I'm ready to strike
Gorgon
[PreChorus]
Seize
Appease
Deceive
Die
Seize
Appease
Deceive
Die!
[Chorus]
Medusa
She's staring at you
Medusa
With her eyes
Medusa
[Verse 3]
Evil witch, cast her spell
Seducing you, she'll take you to the very depths of hell
Oh no, no
Cannot move, no eyes to see
A statue now for all eternity Medusa laughs at you
Ha ha, and you're her slave
[Bridge]
Destroyer of life
Demon
Oh, I'm ready to strike
Gorgon
[PreChorus]
Seize
Appease
Deceive
Die
Seize
Appease
Deceive
Die!
[Chorus]
Medusa
She's staring at you
Medusa
With her eyes
Medusa
Oh, she's cold
Medusa
[Instrumental]
Lead: Dan
[Verse 4]
Endless curse, blood runs cold
Evil stares will turn your flesh to stone
Land of doom, world of sin
All subside, don't venture near the islands where she lives
Oh, she'll suck you in
[Bridge]
Destroyer of life
Demon
Oh, I'm ready to strike
Gorgon
[Chorus]
Medusa
She's staring at you
Medusa
With her eyes
Medusa
Medusa
Oh, she's cold
