They preferred to use harshness
Instead of using any soft words
To battle hard instead of caress
Thirsted after blood
Instead of thirsting after kisses,
Practised the art of war
Instead of the art of love,
And they held spears in the hands
Which should have been occupied by weaving,
They did not think of marriage,
But instead they thought of death,
And attacked the men with weapons they were using,
They didn't need beauty to capture all their hearts
There was a time in the world
Where things weren't all so west
And lines weren't so clear
Not to say that its the best
But at least there was an option
And not just the 1 or 2
To think they had more choice
Well it just leaves me so confused
And they preferred the use of harshness
Instead of using any soft words
To battle hard instead of caress
Thirsted after blood
Instead of thirsting after kisses,
Practised the art of war
Instead of the art of love,
And they held spears in the hands
Which should have been occupied by weaving,
They did not think of marriage,
But instead they thought of death,
And attacked the men with weapons they were using,
They didn't need beauty to capture all their hearts
But I guess we are just so very simple
That we leave out those who do not fit
The genital dictation of our futures
Since when did the outside ever show us what's within
And they preferred the use harshness
Instead of using any soft words
To battle hard instead of caress
Thirsted after blood
Instead of thirsting after kisses,
Practised the art of war
Instead of the art of love,
And they held spears in the hands
Which should have been occupied by weaving,
They did not think of marriage,
But instead they thought of death,
And attacked the men with weapons they were using,
They didn't need beauty to capture all their hearts
"As if they forgot the traditions into which they were born,
and preferred harshness instead of soft words,
battle instead of caress,
thirsted after blood instead of kisses,
practised the art of war instead of the art of love,
and held spears in those hands which should have been occupied by weaving,
and they did not think about the marriage bed, but death,
and attacked with sharp weapons the men,
whom they could have pleased with their beauty.・

Cats Milly is one of the best current artists around, unique and original, relate-able and real music, I seriously recommend checking out all her albums. The Crooked Trees
