On the 2nd of July 1816
The Medusa met her fate
13 days of madness followed
Helplessness and unbound hate
In the grip of the ocean's doom
Undemeath the scorching sun - Hell's moon
Left prey for destiny
Alive but desperate - Drifting free
The vanity of hope - A grave so deep and cold
An odyssey of 13 days
Curse the crew - The captain's evil ways
On a raft like rats not men
Some things the mind can't understand
Cast out and sacrificed - Who will live or die
Driven mad by aggression and hunger
Torn apart by despair
Overboard all the weak and the wounded
Survival's not fair
Watch the fighting
The killing - The violence
Insanity - Suicides
One hundred forty seven souls
Only fifteen survived
One hundred forty seven
One hundred forty seven souls
Man turned to cannibal - The torn flesh lived to tell
THE DOOM OF MEDUSA has turned life to bloodthirsty hell
THE DOOM OF MEDUSA has crushed with her spell
The ocean turned to hell - No more souls left to sell
