The Eyes Of Medusa

Obsidian builds the foundations of this earth.
They did not deserve to exist in this world,
In my world.

An evil reptilian?
I am no petty despot.
I’m the product of your weakness.

You forged a weapon you must now face.
Beautiful and terrible as the dusk.
Stronger than the power of Gaia.

You defiled sisterhood.
Show them your true and terrible form.
Show the world the power of a traitor.

The eyes of Medusa have opened.

Rocks and stone, 
shatter the foundations of the earth.
Sharpen the scales of divine anger and judgment.

A snake am I?
Look at me.
