new lyrics: sentenced to stone
no curse, only a crown of rage. the gavel is her gaze.
„sentenced to stone“ is my take on medusa—not as the monster she’s been painted for centuries, but as a symbol of feminine rage and survival. in western culture, powerful women have long been cast as threats that must be controlled, conquered, or destroyed. medusa is the archetype of that demonization: assaulted, blamed, and punished for a crime she didn’t commit. her story is not just mythology—it mirrors the way patriarchal systems still treat women who suffer violence.
this lyric was driven by the urge to flip that narrative. her serpents are not shame, but strength. her gaze is not a curse, but law. in „sentenced to stone“ she rises from victimhood into agency, embodying a rage that refuses to be silenced. she is judge and executioner, avenger for those who cannot defend themselves. the song reclaims her beauty as well—no longer fragile or ornamental, but fierce, terrible, and radiant because of what she endured and what she became. „sentenced to stone“ is both tribute and threat: a hymn of empowerment, and a reckoning for the violence that patriarchy keeps excusing. check it out now.
