Suttee |
| Bound to the lifeless body of her deceased spouse |
| Firstborn lits the flame to burn both the living and the dead |
| Made responsible for husbands undoing |
| Failure to protect from harm seals her fate |
| Twisted celebration |
| Unity in death |
| Worthless as a widow, now begins the |
| Coerced sacrifice |
| And a cloud of human smoke |
| Engulfs the congregation |
| And you watch in horror |
| As her body becomes a blistered mess |
| Family tree uprooted |
| All within a few days |
| For loyalty and prestige |
| Tradition is carried out |
| Morbid chants, deeply drenched in dogma |
| As they claim, her absolute devotion |
| Sacred shrines, to be built in her honor |
| Won’t alleviate the torment as she burns |
| Horrifying screams, from her melting face |
| Terror fused with grief, a world crashing down |
| Shock carves your psyche, tears will soon dry |
| Religion will brainwash, to perpetuate the sickness |
