A Woman's Pride; Not Her Honour

It became my fear
It became a memory
It became a torment
Of guilt and of slavery

Strip down in a nightmare
That tempered with my skirt
I was living in a voyage
That of black and white

My heart bled till no droplet could fall
The sons of men became a sting
I could not forgive
Yet I had to

All I can remember is me crying to my innocence
Me crying to a silent critism
Fears of traditional sympathy
Fears of not performing a traditional right

Even if I could cry no more
Even if my soul shall remain shattered
But my heart would still test the goodness
The sons of men still has within.
It became my fear

The sons of men became a sting

Yet I had to

All I can remember is me crying to my innocence
Me crying to a silent critism

Fears of not performing a traditional right

Even if I could cry no more
Even if my soul shall remain shattered
But my heart would still test the goodness
The sons of men still has within.
