Hands tied at her wrist and bloodied
she is paraded through the square
And her red tawny hair still burns a crimson fury
As she locks eyes with us
This savage
Still ferocious and battle weary
her resolve is not tainted
Like a hideous statues she peers
at us defiant
And penetrates our civility
with green eyes
A civility that flogged her once,
and raped her daughters and broke that spirit.
Oh and how Camulodunum
fell
and the Iceni did rise
Led by this
Lioness
And purple blood
steamed and seemed
to burn as it
it exchanged virtues with steel and this
Albion air
But still she is a woman and her tunic rides over her skin
and shapely breasts and down powerful hips to her ankles
Where a gold bracelet sits indicating her blood right
Such delicacy and danger together meet
And she becomes all the more alluring
For her strength equals that of any man
And her beauty though slightly hidden
behind this ferocious
mask
Is still
and obvious
she is paraded through the square
And her red tawny hair still burns a crimson fury
As she locks eyes with us
This savage
Still ferocious and battle weary
her resolve is not tainted
Like a hideous statues she peers
at us defiant
And penetrates our civility
with green eyes
A civility that flogged her once,
and raped her daughters and broke that spirit.
