had a secret liason
medusa was her name
in the heat of the fire
she tried to put out my flame
it's just like a goddess
in the temple of vice
turn human heart
into a sacrifice

hold up a mirror
pull down the night
these myths we made
don’t feel right
look at the stars
let’s be amazed
but what ever you do
avoid her gaze

i knew i was in trouble
when i fell in love with the gorgon
took mind over matter
to hatch an escape plan
made love to her slowly
with both eyes closed
when i was inside her
she did what she was told

hold up a mirror
pull down the night
these myths we made
don’t feel right
look at the stars
let’s be amazed
but what ever you do
avoid her gaze

i know i was a solider
in the army of love
my sword was flesh
in my shield i trust
but i never had a lover
try to turn me to stone
had to fight my way out from
the eye of the cyclone

hold up a mirror
pull down the night
these myths we made
don’t feel right
look at the stars
let’s be amazed
but what ever you do
avoid her gaze
