Unrepentant

A poor man with four daughters
A wife and a son.
Daughter commits adultery
Or so he was told
Bought the knife and machete, after Fridays prayers.
Feared the young would follow old, thought all must be killed.
[Chorus:]
For your honour
You will slaughter
Everyone of your daughters
For your honour
You will slaughter
It´s you who should be slaughtered
Terror grips the steel with hunger
Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride
A shamed madman
You take their lives away as they sleep
The blade kisses at their throats.
Life bleeds without a chance to weep
You take, you take their lives away
Yet a man of unrepetant, don´t you realise?
You murdered your own children
Call that honourable cause
[Chorus]
