Medea's Melody Part I (Demo)

Medea's Melody Part I (Demo) from Primordius (A Mythology Concept Demo EP) Cover Art by Quinn Hoffmann An original song by Tape and Tears, inspired by "12 Medea to Jason" as told in Heroides by Ovid. Do you remember the places that we would call divine? Or have the memories already faded from your mind like I? Gave you fortune, gave you glory, love was how you once repaid Once indebted to Medea, now you care not of her fate A Colchian princess had time for you, I recall When you begged me for a savior, spell the answers out for you A spell upon my heart and soul was cast too Thought I knew a lot but how little that I knew I never liked to paint, no I preferred to draw But my life from that one moment, one decision made me fall To the thread of mortality, for while this heart has a beat A Jason made it work unsteadily Do you remember the places that we would call divine? Or have the memories already faded from your mind like I? Gave you fortune, gave you glory, love was how you once repaid Once indebted to Medea, now you care not of her fate Why was I all too smitten with your golden locks and that sweet-talking charm of your tongue? You stole away a heart I had to give chase My head did was ashore some days later, rumors say Young Medea played the part that your new bride is playing too How much treachery will she suffer now? How many woes within this head will she now swallow? Oh you might recall I burned with a fire not known before Do you remember the places that we would call divine? Or have the memories already faded from your mind like I? Gave you fortune, gave you glory, love was how you once repaid Once indebted to Medea, now you care not of her fate You kept looking for a fight, Ares protegé Hands doomed to death, doomed to unrest, not to live but still survive The seed sown of wild men with idle girls they use as pen to write out their legacies through trials of their thighs Deeply wounded in my heart, I tore the bed apart in the way that love and fear had cut my seams Fear made love all the stronger, you repaid my power to destroy by taking what was mine Do you remember the places that we would call divine? Or have the memories already faded from your mind like I? Gave you fortune, gave you glory, love was how you once repaid Once indebted to Medea, now you care not of her fate The beginning of my mind’s downfall, your eyes stole away my ability to see Who joined your treacherous flames? You knew it would be me Oh betrayer, my sweet traitor, I have poisoned many minds but never bodies in the ways your love corroded all of mine I served my purpose to you as they all will do, as I suspect your Corinthian beauty soon will too For as your shroud yourself in gloom, despondent by my misty eyes, and my tongue said in a soft whisper “Farewell” for one last time Do you remember the places that we would call divine? Or have the memories already faded from your mind like I? Gave you fortune, gave you glory, love was how you once repaid Once indebted to Medea, now you care not of her fate Once indebted to Medea, now you care none of her fate
