Medusa Lyrics

Come to see me
I will show you
The island of the roses

Come to love me
I will play you
With fearless temptation

Close your eyes and leave the empty grail
Taste the sweet wine from my lips
Face your virgin bride without a veil
And I will forgive you all your sins

Dance with me the dance of fire
Feel our worlds colliding
Join me in my cold desire
Last for you to see will be my eyes

A beautiful evil cursed with hearts of stone
Feed my hunger with your kiss
Taking a life tonight is mine alone
Give me a luscious sigh of bliss

Dance with me the dance of fire
Feel our worlds colliding
Join me in my cold desire
Last for me to see will be your eyes

Come to see me
You will find my
Truth in the reflection

Come to love me
I will call you
The daughter of the darkness

Come to see me
You can call me
The daughter of the darkness

Come to love me
I will play you
With fearless temptation

Come to see me
You will find my
I will find your
Truth in the reflection

Come to love me
I will have you
Suffer in perfection

Come to see me
I will show you
The island of the roses

Come to love me
I will play you
With fearless temptation

Close your eyes and leave the empty grail
Taste the sweet wine from my lips
Face your virgin bride without a veil
And I will forgive you all your sins

Dance with me the dance of fire
Feel our worlds colliding
Join me in my cold desire
Last for you to see will be my eyes

A beautiful evil cursed with hearts of stone
Feed my hunger with your kiss
Taking a life tonight is mine alone
Give me a luscious sigh of bliss

Dance with me the dance of fire
Feel our worlds colliding
Join me in my cold desire
Last for me to see will be your eyes

Come to see me
You will find my
Truth in the reflection

Come to love me
I will call you
The daughter of the darkness

Come to see me
You can call me
The daughter of the darkness

Come to love me
I will play you
With fearless temptation

Come to see me
You will find my
I will find your
Truth in the reflection

Come to love me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As is well-known, Medusa was a mythical monster, turning to stone anyone who looks her in the eyes. (Therefore "Last for you to see will be my eyes"). The singer presents herself as a temptress, already prepared to ruin her lover's life. "You will find my truth in the reflection": the hero Perseus managed to overcome Medusa by watching her reflection in his shield. Hence she becomes harmless when you "see through her".
