The mythos behind the song: I chose to go with the tale that is most commonly told of Medusa's origins (Ovid's Metamorphoses 4.5750-803), where the Roman God Neptune (the Greek equivalent being Poseidon) assaults Medusa, a priestess of Minerva (the Greek equivalent being Athena) within the goddess's temple. Instead of punishing Neptune for the transgression, Minerva turned her anger towards Medusa, and cursed the young woman, thus transforming her from a beautiful mortal into a monstrous creature that none may look upon.

Lyrics:
Gliding through shadows, eyes like fire
Hair of serpents, twists with desire
Once a maiden, haloed in gold
Now a cursed legend, stories long told
Betrayed by the gods, forever she'll roam
Seeking revenge, turning hearts to stone
A gaze that cuts deep, with magic unseen
In her wake, old myths and shattered dreams
In the moonlight, twilight reigns supreme
Medusa’s eyes, like emeralds, they gleam
Flee from her beauty—it’s all a cruel disguise
One look deeper — means your demise
Gorgon queen, with secrets old
Echoes of a serpentine laugh unfold
Their statues stand where they first met
A timeless figure who cannot forget
Eyes like mirrors, they hold a secret deep
Every glance a promise you’ll forever keep
Frozen hearts in the garden stare
Only whispers tell she ever was there
No dawn will break where her shadow falls
Every step draws you into her thrall
For once she has seen you, your fate will align—
Your soul now frozen - for all of time
Face of a legend, yet forever alone
You’ll find that her kingdom will make you its own
In the garden of shadows, she waits unknown
Where the wind carries echoes...
and the dead never go home...
