lyrics

Medusa
Brad Erickson 2012

Molten flower, liquid as glass
Pulsing in the tide
Trailing ribbons deadly and fine
To touch them is pain that will never subside

Bubbling lips and eyes like the sea
Tendrils arabesque
Slender fingers twining with mine
And pull me down into your burlesque

CHORUS
Medusa, you, enchantress, who
Can let me go or bind me
Your poison seeps into my blood
Until your oceans find me

And there I rest in your caress
Still I remember doubt
The pleasure as you drew me in
May turn to pain if you should turn me out, turn me out, turn me out

The waves are gentle here by the shore
The milky sea invites me
You beckon me to float here with you
I see through your smile and still it excites me
Betrayed by my longing I know it indicts me
The verse you chant ensnares and recites me

CHORUS
