Traitors In Their Midst

from Paranoid Sovereignty by NECK DEEP IN FILTH

lyrics

(Brahmanical patriarchy has suppressed women in South Asia for centuries. The differences between the ways sons and daughters are treated, the practices of female infanticide, dowry and menstrual exile, and unequal citizenship laws, all have their roots in Brahmanical patriarchy.)

Governed by religion
Guided by the right to suppress
Sanctioned in the constitution
The traitors in their midst must be controlled

Their bodies are the host
To the sons they claim are a scourge
To a land they judge to be besieged

The burden, the ignored
The sister scrubs, the prince sits and gloats
Just a body, nothing more than a womb
Bridled by the father
Steered to stay behind

For every prayer to a goddess
There’s a daughter repressed
Regard curbed to temples
Some they can’t even access
Man kept at the center
Regardless of class and caste
Thus the system perpetuates

They’ll forever expound
On mythical theories and perceived past glories
They’ll always ignore
The injury, the harsh reality

And so millions suffer in silence
Suffer in silence
