Honor Killings

Culture of honor, culture of shame

Imprisoned by the burqa

Her innocence to blame

Sharia law and the almighty Allah

Rule with the whip in hand

Divine decree alliance against women

Throughout the holy land


Buried alive, burned, mutilated

Dragged through the streets

Decapitated, decapitated, decapitated

Beg for mercy with no avail

Muslim teachings must prevail


Judge and jury with zero degree of moral culpability

Death by lapidation

The law of Islam nation


Father slays daughter

A husband his wife

A mother is killed by her son

Cut from the womb

Bastard infant is strangled

A page from the holy Quran

Honor killers, moral vigilantes

Wipe away the stain of shame

To protect the family honor

And restore the family name


Heed obey! Get on your knees and pray

Heed obey! Five times a day

Heed obey! Get on your knees and pray

Heed obey! Five times a day

We put thee on the path, so follow it

And follow not the whims of those who know not

Heed obey! Get on your knees and pray

Heed obey! A tortured body on display


Segregation discrimination female genital mutilation

Subordination banned from education

Actions and sayings of the first three generations

Forced into marriage against her own will

Dowry and bride price to seal the deal

Left to rot in solitude

Suicide is the only substitute


Buried alive burned mutilated

Dragged through the streets

Decapitated

Beaten tortured ostracized accused of being westernized
