Contravene - Traditions lyrics

rate me

Traditions ring hollow

Traditions ring true

Billions still following but they haven't got a clue

Turn a blind eye to the origins

Another time and place

Where meanings changed with religious trends and fucked

Up social ways

Indoctrination

Your path has been chosen

Indoctrination

Don't just blindly accept it

The need for power and the privilege to own another

Human being

A lifetime of holy matrimony

Symbolized by a ring

Prearranged and re-arranged

Prepare for life in these chains

Do you take this man to be your master?

"I don't" is not the answer

Reproductive slave machine is all this ritual was meant

To mean

Do you take this woman to be your wife?

"I do", now sentence her to fucking life

Tradition hides lies

Traditions hold truth

Do we really need this paper to show us the proof?

Do we really want to continue to give our daughters

Away?

In a stupid game that used to mean rape, torture and

Slavery

Rape, torture and slavery

Rituals created for us in a day and a time

When we had no choice what we did with our bodies or

Lives

Bought and sold, they robbed us of all our pride

From birth they owned us until we died
