The transformation extends beyond Thomas and Lilith. The curse too has changed. Hiding behind the largest mirror in the refuge, with its glass shattered on the floor, a portrait of the gorgon can be seen. Not now a monster, but a symbol of protection - a ward against the dark, embodying the power of redemption and change.
[Verse 1]
In shivered shards, shadows swarm,
Serpents' sibilance, stories form.
Gorgon's ghastly gaze, grim, grotesque,
Haunts hallowed halls, night's arabesque.
[Chorus]
Through shattered curse and serpent's hiss,
A protector born from nemesis.
[Verse 2]
Her orbs, once ossifying flesh,
Now nurture nomads, night's enmesh.
A transmutation, twisted, taut,
As archaic anathemas wrought.
[Chorus]
Through shattered curse and serpent's hiss,
A protector born from nemesis.
[Verse 3]
No valiant blade vanquished plight,
But love's pure pulse, a piercing light.
From fathomless fathoms, force unfurled,
A beacon's blaze through blackness whirled.
[Chorus]
Through shattered curse and serpent's hiss,
A protector born from nemesis.
[Verse 4]
Gorgon's core, once cloaked in dread,
Now kindles warmth where terrors spread.
Her vipers' voices, vigil keep,
Her furnace focus, foes to reap.
[Chorus]
Through shattered curse and serpent's hiss,
A protector born from nemesis.
[Bridge]
Mirrored myths, mellifluous, deep,
A tale of grace time cannot steep.
In brittle bits, truth boldly beams,
A veiled design now clear it seems.
[Verse 5]
Once doomed to dearth, destiny turns,
Her powers protect, no longer spurns.
From monstrous mien to guardian true,
Her presence prompts hope's revenue.
[Chorus]
Through shattered curse and serpent's hiss,
A protector born from nemesis.
[Verse 6]
Her form, fair Selena's fleeting trace,
A sister's solace, time can't erase.
She shields the souls in stony walls,
A luminary when darkness falls.
[Chorus]
Through shattered curse and serpent's hiss,
A protector born from nemesis.
[Outro]
Through fractured facets, flickers flare,
Whispers weave dreams of debonair.
"The curse has crumbled, shadows wane,
Yet darkness lingers, watch its reign."
