Queen of Men

Oh Medusa With Hair of Snakes Look me in the eye Turn flesh to stone And once in state Carry my corpse on a virgin Unicorn Too close to the Sun That the wax on my wing's melts And i drown in the Delta To be consumed by Crocodiles So i will be remembered On Temple Wall's In the Valley of the Kings A Queen amongst Men

Love MEDUSA....this is cool, very dark Flaherty. Kind of Gothic. Queen of the Damned, someone needs to give the poor woman a break. Thankfully you did. Of course, by no fault of her own, she was a monster who lost her head to Perseus. x Must look into her history further, understand how she became the monster.
