[Verse 1]
The guests are stood in silence, they stare and drink their wine
On the wall, the canvas hangs frozen there in time
They marvel at the beauty, the horror and despair
At the wake of the Medusa, no one shed a tear

[Chorus 1]
Sit my friends and listen
Put your glasses down
Sit my friends and listen
To the voices of the drowned

[Verse 2]
In the moonlight's ghostly glow, I waken in a dream
Once more upon that raft, I stand upon a raging sea
In my ears, the moans and screams of the dying ring
Somewhere in the darkness, the siren softly sings

[Chorus 2]
Out there in the waves, she stands
And smiling there, she calls
As the lightning cracks the sky
The wind begins to howl

[Verse 3]
The architects of our doom around their tables sit
And in their thrones of power, condemn those they've cast adrift
Echoes down the city street, their harpies laughter rings
Waiting for the curtain call. oblivion's in the wings
[Chorus 3]
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with the rope

[Chorus 3]
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with the rope
