Stone Gaze Serenade

Cursed by Athena, a temple disgrace
Hair of the serpent, scales on my face
Mirror the shield, don't look in her eyes
One final glance and your civilization dies
Living in caves, eating the bones of the weak
Petrified statues too ugly to speak
History written by those who survived
Perseus snuck in while I took a dive—asleep!

Politicians turn to stone when they see the truth
Your precious heroes, all they do is run
I am the nightmare, I am the sun!

GORGOOOONA! (Snakes are writhing!)
GORGOOOONA! (Sight is biting!)
GORGOOOONA! (Don't you dare to blink!)
GORGOOOONA! (On the brink!)

Woke up to tourists, with swords and a head
They chopped off my crown, now I'm better off dead
Used as a weapon, a cosmic debris
Turning the masses to statuary!
One man's horror is another man's tool
Rule number one in the thrash metal school
Don't trust the narrators, they're twisting the plot
Perseus was nothing but a cowardly snot—headless!

GORGOOOONA! (Flesh is cracking!)
GORGOOOONA! (Bones are stacking!)
GORGOOOONA! (Say your last goodbye!)
GORGOOOONA! (Stone—high-pitched scream—EYE!)

Down in the shadows... I still see...
Your reflection... means nothing... to me...
