Exodus – Honor Killings Lyrics

Rock

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

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

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

Judge and jury with zero degree
Of moral culpability
Death by lapidation
The law of Islam nation

Judge and jury with zero degree
Of moral culpability
Death by lapidation
The law of Islam nation
