Eyes Black |
| 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 |
