Under the Shadow of Man Lyrics


They told her girls are born castrated

Invisible and isolated

And her inferiority

Was the result of her passivity

They blamed it on biology

Exploited her anatomy

And from the very first rape

They tried to use her vulnerability

They sewed her lips together

Circumcised her

Slit her open on her wedding night

To win the virgin-prize

Now anger's burning in her mind

At the shreds of her life

She won't be devoured

No man will take her alive
