Vires de Mulier

Women,

By far, the more powerful sex
With delicate hands, they hold your heart
With those same hands, they can show you love,
Or slowly tear your life apart

It's the thrill of pure desire
It makes it all worth dying for
The constant urge to please them
That makes countries go to war

How can such a power exist?
In a form so humble and meek?
A force that can rally your strength
But can also leave you so weak

Though we're fully aware of the risk
We'll gladly take the fall
For just the chance, to fall in love
We'll gladly risk it all

With a face that melts the heart
And a voice as soft as breeze
It's the power of a woman
That bring kings to their knees
