From the land of shadows 
Comes a dreadful sight 
Lady with the marble smile 
Spirit of the night 
See the scourge of innocence 
Swinging in her hand 
Hear the silent suffering 
That echoes through the land 

From the tombs of ignorance 
Of hate and greed and lies 
Through the smoke of sacrifice 
Watch her figure rise 
The sick the poor the old 
Basking in her radiance 
Men of blood and gold 


In her bloody footsteps 
Speculators prance 
Men of dreams are praying 
For that second chance 
Round her vacant features 
Gilded serpents dance 
Her tree of evil knowledge 
Sprouts a special branch 


Madam Medusa 
Madam Medusa 
Madam Medusa 


Knock her right down 
And then she bounce right back 
Knock her right down 
And then she bounce right back 
She gone off her head 
We`ve got to shoot her dead 
She gone off her head 
We`ve got to shoot her dead 
Run for your life before she eat you alive 
Run for your life before she eat you alive 
Move out of the way cos`s you`re blocking out the day 
Move out of the way cos`s you`re blocking out the day
