"Never again,

Never again,

Never again."

"Never again,"

The snakes seem to hiss.

"Never again,"

She screamed, throat raw.

"Never again,"

Her battle cry.

"Never again,"

The goddess whispered.

"Never again,"

As the goddess blessed her.

"Never again,"

As he turned to stone.

"Never again,

Never again,

Never again."

Never again

Will she be helpless.

"Never again,"

Whispered as she lay bleeding.

Never again

Will a man hurt her.

Never again

Will a god touch her.

Never again

Will she cry.

Never again

Will she be powerless.

"Never again,"

Her last words.

"Never again,"

As he severs her head.

"Never again,"

Athena weeps, for her.

"Never again,

Never again,

Never again."
