A poor man

With four daughters

All wept in the sun



Or so he was told

Bought a knife and machete

After Friday's prayers

Daughter must be killed



For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters



For your honor

You will slaughter

It's you who should be slaughtered



Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride

I see a mad man



You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Love bleeds without a chance to weep

You take, you take their lives away



You're the man unrepentant

Don't you realize

You murdered your own children

Call that honorable cause?



For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters



For your honor

You will slaughter

It's you who should be slaughtered



Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride

I see a mad man



You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Love bleeds without a chance to weep

You take, you take their lives away



For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters



For your honor

You will slaughter

It's you who should be slaughtered



Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride

I see a mad man



You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Love bleeds without a chance to weep

You take, you take their lives away
