When people say my name I get respect
Who can say the same? Not many I suspect
Consider that my story's been twisted
It was never me who insisted

Listen up now
Here's a little lesson, mythology 101
Medusa was the youngest of three sisters, a Gorgon
Unlike her monstrous siblings, her beauty was renown
Her lovely locks were envied by every girl in town

She served Athena, goddess of wisdom and war
Those two don't go together, but who's keeping score?
One night in 'thena's temple, in walked the god of sea
He strode right past the goddess and he towered over me

Never forget you created me
Now you're just a footnote in my story
My righteous rage is known throughout humanity
Never forget you created me

Athena saw the whole thing but she did not intervene
Instead she got offended that her girl was now unclean
As punishment she turned Medusa's locks to writhing snakes
And made it so men turned to stone under the Gorgon's gaze

Medusa then lived out her days in a lonely island cave
Littering the shore with stone men who once we're brave
Then one day a hero with a mirror shield arrived
Athena's clever present to ensure he'd take my life

Never forget you created me
Now you're just a footnote in my story
My righteous rage is known throughout humanity
Never forget you created me

The hero used my severed head avenging all his foes
Then gave me to Athena - it's a little on the nose 
Who bound me to her aegis, where forever I reside
Staring down her enemies. I'm rage personified

Never forget you created me
Now you're just a footnote in my story
My righteous rage is known throughout humanity
Never forget you created me
