[Lyric] Medusa (Times of Grace)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Trapped in her stare — Medusa
Turning my heart into stone
My cross to bear — Medusa

[Verse 2]
Turn away from her face
With a touch and a whisper, she'll lay you to waste
She slithers and gives hersеlf to the forbidden one
So cold thе grip of betrayal I've become undone

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
