Doll's Eye

They think it’s still a man’s world.

But it’s us women who birth heirs and raise kings.
We give life.
And we most certainly can take it.

But I carve my own path.
Leaving a crimson trail behind me.

Leaving a crimson trail behind me.
Everyone knows that a woman who knows their worth is a dangerous woman.

I will always be seen as harmless.
But even the devil has a pretty face.
