Medusa's Eye

When you see Medusa's eye,
you turn to stone before you die.

When you feel the dragon's breath,
you know the meaning of fiery death.

When you hear the Reaper's blade,
you enter death's unknown glade.

When the werewolves slink and creep,
you enter an eternal sleep.

When you see Hade's face,
you enter a dead man's place.

When you feel Jack Frost's icy touch,
from then on you feel not much.

When you see a light white or black, there is no going back.

This comes from a cursed scroll,
telling how death took its toll.
