fine edged sword of life or death
glinting silver shadows
deeply haunting melody
bears me towards the gallows
for my sins shall I suffer
sin of lust and knowing men
my greatest sin of all
is just to be a woman
I am feared for my power
I can bring a man to his knees
I can sway the most hard hearted male
into doing my will
all for this body
this pale flesh, this long dark hair
I shall take my own life
here in this straw filled prison
moonlight glistens on the wooden planks
of the dew strewn trough
here among this poverty
I shall die a goddess

Hhmmmm.. What inspired this? Very interesting though, I must say. The image it provokes.. Kind of disturbing.. Athena
