If no man wanted me
How free I would be
From the thief of vanity
To roam with my sisters
And chant to the trees
Released from human habit
of empty culture and deceit
For I see the devil's eyes watching me
Prisoner to my body
Empty vessel ashore
What is your worth?
They call me a whore
But what I want is simple
To cradle the moon
And feel thistle
To cook with herbs
And to play the fiddle
"Dance with the fire!" my soul shouts
But there is a man before me
My power he doubts
He is accepted by the world
They see me through his eyes
He cannot live without me
For I supply the blood-line
My hands are gentle but conjure great powers
I would love to show you
But I am chained for hours
Only released when the man feels desire
I cannot dance with the fire
They call me weak
But I feel so strong
If only I could get to the place I belong
I would strip myself naked beneath the night sky
Reaching my hands into the power I've been denied
For nature is my lover, spirit is my guide
But darkness follows in the form of a guy
Who wishes to taint me
Through his eyes, I am forced to my knees
oh, how free I would be
If no man wanted me.
