The Medusa Stare
Walking out onto streets of blight and misery
Where strangers glance then quickly look away
With eyes that speak a thousand words in one
From weathered faces lined with years of pain
Gorgon gaze entranced, what is real in this land of lives exiled out beyond the pale
To eat the gruel and scraps of yesterday's false conquests
Reliving each act in hollowed atrophy
Tasting pleasures of the flesh in absence
These countless ways we sacrifice and lose
To live in stone, entrapped, ensnared, unblessed, unloved then die
Welcome to the other side, to be a face in the crowd unknown
Where we all sing along to the tired same refrain
Fed from birth, for what it's worth on gray cloud dawns, and black sky dusks
Doom
Where strangers glance then quickly look away
With eyes that speak a thousand words in one
From weathered faces lined with years of pain
Gorgon gaze entranced, what is real in this land of lives exiled out beyond the pale
To eat the gruel and scraps of yesterday's false conquests
Reliving each act in hollowed atrophy
Tasting pleasures of the flesh in absence
These countless ways we sacrifice and lose
To live in stone, entrapped, ensnared, unblessed, unloved then die
Welcome to the other side, to be a face in the crowd unknown
Where we all sing along to the tired same refrain
Fed from birth, for what it's worth on gray cloud dawns, and black sky dusks
Doom
