Lyrics
The guests all 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
Sit my friends and listen
Put your glasses down
Sit my friends and listen to the voices of the drowned
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
Out there in the waves she stands and smiling there she calls
As the lightning cracks the sky
The wind begins to howl
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 harpy's laughter rings
Waiting for the curtain call, oblivious in the wings
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with the rope
The casket is empty
Abandon ye all hope
They ran off with the money
And left us with a nope
