Medusa


Potential prom queen
Beautiful and ready
Friend to the school trophy
Trophy girl to an earthquake

Potential prom queen
Beautiful and ready
A week left to go
And his eyes where they should not be

Potential prom queen
Beautiful and hiding
An earthquake on its way
Wanting to shake the trophy's friend

Potential prom queen
Beautiful and screaming
Earthquakes have great force
Especially on trophy beds

Potential prom queen
Alone with the trophy
Aftermath of an earthquake
Fearing her friend

"I saw what happened
"Outside the door
"I don't want you hurt
"So I will help."

Potential prom queen
In the arms of the trophy
Dear friends help each other
And so she took beauty away

Could've been prom queen
Ferocious and ready
Guardian of women
Symbol of resistance
