about

'Medusa' is the eighth track from Valiant Hearts second full length LP 'Odyssey'.

lyrics

We dance around the fire, at night we all dream
Of angels in a chorus that lull us to sleep
In tangled tongues spoken between gritted teeth
From silver tongued devils that lie as they speak
The snakes in her hair, they turn me to stone
She sees her own reflection going cold to the bone

Enlighten me, siphon me of creativity
Wither me out like a husk
Frightening, tightening grip on reality
Sun’s getting low, now it’s dusk

Sweeter than honey yet slippery as a snake
All your words are poison in my veins
Isn’t it funny, in a mirror we’re the same
Haunting ourselves through reflections every day

Wake up, your dreams have come undone
The nightmares plague us until the morning comes
All is said and done, but ghosts still haunt us in the sun

Believe me, i’ve seen the trials that you have deemed
Worthy of taking the task
All that I ask is that you don’t hold me back
When the time comes to act

Oh, pariah we’re soaring higher
And we can’t come down
Lighter than a feather drifting down
Lighter than a feather drifting down

Wake up, your dreams have come undone
The nightmares plague us until the morning comes
All is said and done, but ghosts still haunt us in the sun

We danced around
We danced around the fire that night, holding our candles high
We wait to float off into the sky, like lanterns burning bright

Oh, how the tables have turned
We’re running out of time
I can see it in the twinkle in your eye
You want to take my life

Take my life into your own hands
And claim it as your own
Mind your own, mind your own business
Let me sink like a stone
Take my life into your own hands
And claim it as your own
Mind your own, mind your own business
Let me sink like a stone

Wake up, your dreams have come undone
The nightmares plague us until the morning comes
All is said and done, but ghosts still haunt us in the sun

Wake up, your dreams have come undone
The nightmares plague us until the morning comes
All is said and done, but ghosts still haunt us in the sun
(In the sun, in the sun, in the sun)
