Daughters of Eve

the chains were wrapped around me
so tight, I could barely breathe
Father, brother, uncle, lover
I want to be free

I trusted him
it was like he owned me

I was a daughter of Eve
born to be the slave of men
uncle, don't hurt me
I'm begging
please!

the curse is broken
I am hacking at the chains
Lilith, claim me!

I am no longer theirs
I am free...

Lilith claim me!

Oh the daughters of Eve
they strive to be silent
they work to be obedient
deep down, they yearn to be free

the murder, the rape
the abuse, the shame
the torture, the hurt
and when they give birth to daughters
they carry the weight of blame

uncle, you raped me
robbed me of my youth
but that's what you wanted
a woman with the body of a child
I know it's true

Lilith claim me!

the daughters of Eve
suffering still today
they take every slap
labelled like meat
ass, breasts, and thighs
yet they're never looked in the eyes

lied to by religion
oppressing all decision
can you hear their cries?

they're crying in the silence
too scared to show defiance
can you hear them now?

the daughters of Eve
they're told in school
"Wear this and you're a whore
don't distract the education of boys
don't 'ask' for attention"
but there is more

the catcalls on the streets
the prostitutes in the sheets
the women who try to break away
are only shoved under again
it's a vicious cycle
embedded by the centuries
the hymn of the insane

I refuse to be them
I will be
the child of Lilith
growing in the darkness
free in my will
heard in my voice

call me evil
call me snake
call me devil
spit out your hate!

I was not put on this earth
so I could obey

Lilith claim me!
