A poor man
With four daughters
A wife and a sonDaughter commits adultery
Or so he was told
Bought a knife and machette
After Friday's prayers
They have become unhonourable
Daughter must be killedFor your honour
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughtersFor your honour
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 manYou 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 awayYou're the man unrepentant
Don't you realise
You murdered your own children
Call that honourable cause?For your honour
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughtersFor your honour
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 manYou 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 awayFor your honour
You will slaughter
Every one of your daughtersFor your honour
You will slaughter
It's you who should be slaughteredTerror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge it's soiled pride
I see a mad manYou 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
