Born of violence an lived it too
yet here I am gentle
as I touch you

Strength in me you know so well
it is held back now
and you can tell

I care for you and yes it shows
through skin made tough
from nature's blows

The beauty in me on which you feast
seems strange to me
as I see beast

King I am of all I have seen
but what good is a king
if he has no queen
