From the recording Serene Despair
Gorgon
A five-minute cinematic descent into the Gorgon’s labyrinth — perception is a curse, beauty is annihilation, and death is delivered in a single glance.
Lyrics
Maze of the Serpentine Gaze
(Gorgon/Medusa)
(Written, produced, composed, performed, remixed and mastered by

Entering…
Assembling Stones Obliquely
Coil a Slithering Structure.
Leaving…
Exits are Shifting illusions
circling you like a Vulture.
Shadows, have you Surrounded
by a Shapeshifting Maze.
Hissing, Disjointed echoes
disorient you for the Serpentine’s Gaze...
You Summoned Me
Your Deterministic Nihilism leaves you No choice
Screaming into my Maze
amidst the Void where you have no voice
You’ve accepted me and
long to look into my Eyes…
Simple, Instantaneous,
No Gore,
Gone…
I’m where everybody Dies…
You see the Snakes of your Sins Slithering,
Binding you in place…
A figure, indescribable in Nature,
you are drawn immediately to her Face…
Your Life flashes before Her Eyes…
True Beauty, Horror,
the Impossible,
spectrum of Existence in a single guise...
You Summoned me
Your Deterministic Nihilism leaves you No choice
Screaming into my Maze
amidst the Void where you have no voice
You’ve accepted me and
long to Look into my Eyes…
Simple, Instantaneous,
No Gore,
Gone…
I’m where everybody dies…
You are Stilled in place...
hearing Flickers,
of the Maze Shift.
It's Enclosing...
Still made of Stone,
but somethings changed…
You're Decomposing...
Experiencing True Rigor Mortis...
It's Becoming One with the Stone....
It’s Serene Despair...
Suffocating in Air...
A Waking Mare...
The Disfigured Abomination’s Celestial Beauty
all stemming from Her Stare...
You Summoned Me,
I summon the Labyrinth of the Departed...
A obelisk piece.
Hope’s End,
before it started.
Simple, instantaneous,
No Gore,
Gone…
I’m where everybody dies...
The Gaze of the Serpentine
proves Myth’s Poetic Empty…
If a Hiss echoes,
and there is No way to Perceive?
Was there ever a Maze?
A Gaze?
With No Perception,
to Deceive...
Did anything Enter?
Was there Ever
anything to Leave...?
