Pious theocracy.
Subservience. Hypocrisy.
Song and play,
all forbidden.
To speak your mind is to do the Devil’s bidding.
Patriarchy: serve the Father.
Be married quick, bare child young mother.
Mind your tongue,
You stand accused.
Before the court, they are amused.
“Did you write your name in the Devil’s book?”
Just one bad look, that’s all it took.
Condemned; by your neighbor’s decree.
Tell me now: how do you plead?
Fast forward to the present day
fire up the engines of the Enola Gay
A new sovereign nation is a few bombs away,
the underground still wants radio play.
To seize your land, to end your life
If it is God’s will, then it must be right?
Three hundred years on, how quickly we forgot
Some blame witchcraft…
…others blame ergot.
Stone by stone
They won’t leave you alone
You best confess
Or feel the weight of the press
But when they steal your bread
You are better off dead
And in that moment of dread
