Hail Lady Medusa, full-fledged raging gorgon Queen, Your serpent-locks strike dread Your pain is gut-wrenching in its sadness Born terrifyingly beautiful of monstrous parents, From the oceanic depths of the murky earth You alone of three sisters were mortal Seduced by Poseidon, cursed by Athena, Endlessly pursued by terror, rage, despair, and malevolence With one look you take it all in and the worst fiends Are frozen into stone In death, with one mirrored stroke by Perseus beheaded, You are forever disembodied Your blood created a mighty spawn Fit to quake the mightiest heroes’ hearts Lady Queen, you purify the bloody oath And taking everything, you take no words lightly For your sacrifice we give you our solemn word That you may devour that which is unclean Oh pale lady of the backbiting sweetness of revenge, We pray to you to take away our deepest fears Hymn to Medusa -- source link
