A poor man With four daughters All wept in the sun Daughter commits adultery Or so he was told Bought a knife and machete After Friday's prayers They have become unhonorable Daughter must be killed For your honor You will slaughter Every one of your daughters For your honor 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 man You 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 You're the man unrepentant Don't you realize You murdered your own children Call that honorable cause? For your honor You will slaughter Every one of your daughters For your honor 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 man You 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 For your honor You will slaughter Every one of your daughters For your honor 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 man You 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
