Oh sad Medusa left all alone
Your entire world has been turned to stone
It wasn’t your fault, why should it be
You couldn’t escape the King of the sea !
Your rape therein Athena’s home base
Was your maiden fall and great disgrace
The beauty that you did once possess
Was the cause of all of your distress !
How sad that anger made you the waste
Victim of a cruel goddess’s haste
Ironic that your end does now yield
Your image upon Athena’s shield !
