[Intro]
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah
[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 island where she lives
Oh, she'll suck you in
[Refrain]
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
Head of snakes, approach her cave
But don't look in her eyes
Oh, her eyes
[Refrain]
Destroyer of life, Demon
Oh, I'm ready to strike, Gorgon
[Pre-Chorus]
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 (Oh)
Cannot move, no eyes to see, a statue now
For all eternity, Medusa laughs at you, ha ha!
And you're her slave
[Refrain]
Destroyer of life, Demon
Oh, I'm ready to strike, Gorgon
[Pre-Chorus]
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

All subside, don't venture near
The island where she lives
Oh, she'll suck you in
[Refrain]
Destroyer of life, Demon
Oh, I'm ready to strike, Gorgon
[Chorus]
Oh, Medusa, she's staring at you
Medusa, with her eyes
Medusa, oh
Medusa, oh, she's cold
