lyrics

The 19th Gorgon
{by Ryan Voss}

Ghosts of the petrified
Where she casts her evil eye
The cacophony of days of old
Trails off...
Poison in the wind and whispers
Her grip on all that walks or slithers
All the king's horses and knights fold,
They crumble, crumble…

I see dancers with no tunes
Skipping to sing-songs in thought-balloons
Sinking further in their padded rooms,
With crestfallen faces
Breathing deep in the gloom gathered
Like clucking chickens with ruffled feathers
Home to roost in uncertain weather,
With the basilisk, and he’s smiling

The Gorgon shadows everyone with a spark of life
Young or old, any color in the cold quenches her appetite
No man-made steel or wit can penetrate her skin
Mother Gaea,
Pray, take your daughter back again

Orange-haired red king on the hillside,
The people’s spoils expand his waste-line,
Cares not but for his thrown come the changing tides,
Should the castle turn to blue
Faint-praising speeches with all the wrong words
Divisions help to thin the herd
So many fools at the throats of the experts,
No Gods to intervene, huddled masses for her feed

The Gorgon shadows everyone with a spark of life
Young or old, any color in the cold quenches her appetite
No man-made steel or wit can penetrate her skin
Mother Gaea,
Take this cruel daughter back again

Earth returns to natural wonders
While humans lock themselves into bunkers
Awaiting the return of summer
And nightmare’s end
Ghosts of the petrified
Beware her wrath or its your demise
For now, just stay inside,
Till the weather clears
