You cannot own my body, heart, or mind
My essence is illusive like the air
So do not try to hold me down; don’t dare!
I’ll break away from all you use to bind
I am embodiment of freedom’s call
The cosmos is not broad enough for me
For I am more than what your eyes can see
My soul is deep; it cannot break your fall
And though my savage heart is warrior bred
I stand before you coy, somewhat demure
But should you try to capture me, be sure
Between your soul and death, I’ll leave a thread
There beats a goddess heart inside my chest
I know my worth, and so I can command
Allegiance to my love and each demand
You need to be on par, to pass the test
You cannot hope this mighty queen to rule
Capitulate your heart, give up your right
You’ll live to see the dawn vanquish the night
Then my desires will burn you up for fuel
You will be mine; on you I’ll gorge and feed
My wants and every craving, I will sate
For passion in my soul could never wait
When I am done, you’ll live to tell the deed!
I am a warrior princess; I’m the one
the stars and moon and sun obey my voice
And yet you linger near me, by your choice
The fight for your submission, I have won!
