Princess of Æthiopia
And daughter of Cassiopeia
Beauty unmatched by all but the stars in the sky
A proud mother who can't hold her tongue
The child's expectations running hotter than the sun
Hubris visiting the sins of the mother on her child
A petty god's indignation
At the Nereids' perceived humiliation
The waves and storms of Poseidon's wrath
Wrecking everything in its path
There's only one solution
To this problematic situation
Sacrifice the girl to the jaws of the sea
Torn from the arms of her mother
Her clothes and dignity rent asunder
Superstition and ignorance rule the day
Chained to a rock beside the ocean
The hapless victim of the savage notion
That's she's the one who must be cast away
Closer and closer the beast draws near
Higher and higher the mounting terror
(Feel the heat from its breath
The ground shakes with every step
Those teeth, that mouth, the odour of death
All hope is lost, is this the end?)
From the sky descends the hero with wings at his heels
Wielding the Gorgon's head and Argosian steel
Heroic, noble, demigod, son of Zeus
Battling Poseidon's ocean-monster Cetus
Whips out Medusa's head
Now the creature is dead
Then he does the same to Phinaeus
For the girl's hand
For she was to be the queen of men
