Astronomikon Dark Gorgon Rising lyrics

"This is the cornerstone for the album. The slaying of the Gorgon is basically the whole substance of the story. Our hero beheads the Gorgon and escapes the rage of the mourning sisters of Medusa."


(Oh beware blood-thirsty killer) She lurks into the dungeon
(Eyes so cold, the strike of the beast) Oh what monstrosity
Don't dare to enter her den you'll join the rest of them
A pile of bones and no morning light no morning light for you to see

Over this I discover me

In river tombs
Where the oceans are deep and dark
She waits for you
In river tombs
All the statues of stone, stone inside
In river tombs
Now the snake will devour you
She'll eat you alive

A little tomb, one of your own
To rest eternally

Gotta beware of this evil creature oh used to be so beautiful
A lovely maiden from the north, oh cursed Athena
Cursed fates what I've become? Just to stare into the sun
Snakes for hair and a hissing tongue whistling evil chanting songs

He found the 3 Gorgons Medusa the only mortal one
Serpent scales, bronze hands, golden wings, god-provided shield
He saw her reflection, behind the ancient columns, lifted the sword
Beheaded the beast, awaken sisters screaming eerie sounds of anger and despair

Run, run, run away!!!
