Yeah!

In the clutches of the serpent
Struggling to breathe
The drone of darkness plays the hymn of the serpentine
I felt the life escape my body and my soul
Upon the neck of my innocence
Watch it hang by the gallows slow

Trapped in her stare, Medusa
Turning my heart into stone
My cross to bear, Medusa

Turn away from her face
With a touch and a whisper
She'll lay you to waste (lay you to waste)
She slithers and gives herself to the forbidden one
So cold, the grip of betrayal, I've become undone

Trapped in her stare, Medusa
Turning my heart into stone
My cross to bear, Medusa
You won't kill the love in me
Trapped in her stare, Medusa

She breathed her first breath
Her eyes set to slow death
It captured, enraptured me
It was deception at best

Slithering serpent succubus silent
Her entrapment is so clever it doesn't feel violent
But in time when clutches tighten to smother
To take the will of her prey
So I pray for deliverance

I cried out to the skies
Release me and give me the wisdom to read lies
After chapter upon chapter
I began to regain my strength
To break the cycle of this venomous refrain

And I will live again

You won't kill the love in me
You won't kill the love in me
From Demon eyes, I'm finally free
You won't kill the love in me

Oh!
