Romancing the Gorgon

The song Dorian claims he adlibbed whilst saving the party from a Gorgon. Unfortunately she did not live very long after the wooing, and Dorian makes many sad comments in his notes. What a simp.

You smell of oleander, dangerous and sweet

Such an artful exterior but sinister underneath

You cast dire stare's direction yet it's me who's the beast

I'd beg to be your stone in your purview

Imagine me crawling to you

You coil and twist and bite and yet it's my heart that is moving to you

Just say the word and with lover's shudders I'll slither to you

Those who call you venomous and sinuous should Fear your name

Before you shed your skin and lure them in and your temple reclaim

I'd worship at your altar praying for grace

Craving your poison and turning blue

Imagine me crawling to you

You coil and twist and bite and yet it's my heart that is moving to you

Just say the word and with lover's shudders I'll always slither to you
