lyrics

After years on the trail, making my way home
I fought unspeakable evil and was subject of their prose
I became a hero of legend and no feat was too grand
When I took the head of Medusa, I hatched my incredible plan

She was serpently styling, with a hairdo so fly
Still I couldn't look her in the eye
I used a reflection, to acquire her dome
I turned them all... into stone

Oh I'll never forget and I know what I've seen
a petrified horizon, my cobra-headed queen
Your future seems so bleak, yeah
I've got it all right here, if you want to take a peek

By bending stories of my greatest deeds
I won the favour of all small-minded kings
I became a demigod and ascended all their thrones
Metamorphosized the kingdom and left me to reign all alone

Showing her face, to the ones I opposed
With this defense my power rose
My wing-ed sandals, they carried me home
Turned them all... into stone

Oh I'll never forget and I know what I've seen
a petrified horizon, my cobra-headed queen
Your future seems so bleak
I've got it all right here, if you want to take a little peek

I purvey my estate
I tip my crown
My granite Bourgeoisie
God, what have I done?

Oh I'll never forget and I know what I've seen
a petrified horizon, my cobra-headed queen
Your future seems so bleak
I've got it all right here, if you want to take a little peek

The Gingerdead Men Akron, Ohio

The Gingerdead Men (tGDM) were a bad-ass, rock’n roll band. They shunned trends and embraced complete creative freedom. They tought rock’n roll should be loud, to the point, and capable of shaking your pants and bobbing your head. Their lyrics told tall tales about the future, the past, monsters and more. Somehow, it worked. Well.

tGDM believed that massive amplification was ALWAYS the answer. ... more
