lyrics

The rise of the cult of a dead man on a cross
All other beliefs most be crushed
All other people succumb
Negated: the balance of
earth, seasons, life
Forgotten: the wisdom of the earth

A war against women
Whose power was feared
Women with knowledge
Who challenged the norm
Instinct of survival ensured their allegiance
Accept the man god, male hierarchy

Inherent female inferiority
And what this does to your heart?
And what this does to your soul?
And what this does to your mind?
Unquestioned male superiority

Millions of women burned and I burn inside
Lost lives, lost knowledge, this fucked up rape culture
Taught hate and self-hate, uprooted no connection
I am a vessel, hidden, silent, tamed
Filthy still filthy - my body brings shame
Cycles sea deep and moon high sanitised
Ignorant and weak condemned in their eyes

A war against women whose power was feared
Women with knowledge who challenged the norm
This ancient mantle of shame, we've carried for centuries
Cannot be lifted at your bethest
You cannot free me, I free myself
Macha, Morrigan, Brigid, Danu, Fotla, Flidais, Scathath, Eriu.
