Her hidden face offends - the righteous ways of men Beneath the veil lies - the meaning of submission Imprisoned in the dark - she fights to see the light Denied a voice to speak - and basic human rights Holier than thou - Heavier than God Blessed be thy name - It's coming down Heavier than God Holier than thou Inside the torture mask - her eyes are lined with black The cloth curtain covers - her beauty front to back And in the name of faith - she suffers for religion The cloak of fear and terror - is a war on women Holier than thou - Heavier than God Blessed be thy name - It's coming down Heavier than God Holier than thou So pious in their violence - against their women Misogynistic men who don't believe in freedom Persecuted, silenced, treated as possessions A profound reminder of oppression Holier than thou - Heavier than God Blessed be thy name- It's coming down Heavier than God Holier than thou Her identity remains a mystery Deprived of dignity and her self esteem Forced modesty - without equality Sacrificed her life - to live unseen
