Medusa says she won't turn me to stone
That her gaze will leave me flesh and bone
That her powers, like so many things, are but rumor and myth
She says that the numerous statues around
She chipped with a chisel from stone that she found
In the shapes of loved ones she'd known, and lost, and missed

Medusa says that she's all alone
On this island of deep caves and sea waves and stone
Few travelers come to this cruel and distemperate place
Her sisters once lived here, but they've disappeared
And through all the desolate eons and years
No one has dared even once to look at her face

She says I don't have to look
If I'm too afraid
But I can hear in her voice how deeply she craves
To see, within my eyes, herself being seen
What crimes would she commit to satisfy cravings so keen? Ah

Medusa, I'm sorry, but I can't trust you today
Walking backwards with mirrors, I draw every nearer, but only while looking away
Medusa, I hear your sorrow in every sigh
You cling to my hands and say you understand
But Medusa
I know it's a lie

Medusa says she's been cursed by the gods
For the crimes of men who thought her too odd
Punished for others' reactions to qualities she couldn't change
She's not sure what lesson she's meant to have learned
But it's difficult not to feel bitter and spurned
And that bitterness makes her more distant, more cold, and more strange

Medusa says she pours into her art
All the pain and regret that are trapped in her heart
Which makes all of her statues appear to be in distress
I want to believe every word that she speaks
And give her the connection that she desperately seeks
But her granite companions' hard faces cause me to obsess
Each one, so beautifully lifelike, seems to mourn
Is it truly her own pain reflected? Or theirs, at being transformed? Ah

Medusa, I'm sorry, but I can't trust you today
Walking backwards with mirrors, I draw every nearer, but only while looking away
Medusa, I hear your sorrow in every sigh
You cling to my hands and say you understand
But Medusa
I know it's a lie

Medusa says safety is not as it seems
And neither are statues or omens or dreams
And sacrifice only worth what is forsook
Her snakes hiss paeans in the wind
And tenderly she caresses my skin
And she softly and gently weeps
As she begs me to look
To look
To look

I see there just a woman
She smiles and kisses my hand
And my mirror falls to pieces
Upon the rough and pebbled sand

Medusa says, "Nice to see you!
Please remember, despite what you fear,
That when everything points to hard stone and despair,
Love and soft flesh can still find a place there,
No matter how unforeshadowed they may appear!" Ah

Medusa, I'm sorry that I didn't trust you before
How long you have waited-how much time I've wasted, on this rocky and sorrowful shore
Medusa, I'll wash our regrets away with the tides
I see now the fields of Elysium in your sad and beautiful eyes
I see now the fields of Elysium in your sad and beautiful eyes
