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 'cause's you're blocking out the day  
Move out of the way 'cause's you're blocking out the day
