I am a woman
And I was in my element
The universe he trembled with fear.
My blazing hair, resting calmly upon my shoulders,
Burnt his cardboard eyes.
My slender hips grooved to and fro
Like the sea on a thunderous night
And mark my words, oh one eyed pirate
No ship of yours will touch.

My skin she lays with grace and romance
Like a mist over the forests
So listen blind one, don’t dare tread
For you might slip and break you’re skull

And if you’re head does touch the earth
And kiss her forehead and her stars,
You might sink in with hellish speed
And meet my demonic soul
Don’t mistake my tears for I can birth a flood
And unleash it upon your soul.

For I am a woman
And I am in my element
No man, no universe can steal my gold.
