Текст песни My Ruin - Eyes Black

Her hidden face offends
The righteous ways of men
Beneath the veil lies
The meaning of submission
Imprisoned in the dark
She fights to see the light
Denied a voice to speak
And basic human rights

Holier than thou
Heavier than God
Blessed be thy name
It’s coming down
Heavier than God
Holier than thou

Inside the torture mask
Her eyes are lined with black
The cloth curtain covers
Her beauty front to back
And in the name of faith
She suffers for religion
The cloak of fear and terror
Is a war on women

Holier than thou
Heavier than God
Blessed be thy name
It’s coming down
Heavier than God
Holier than thou

So pious in their violence
Against their women
Misogynistic men who don’t believe in freedom
Persecuted, silenced, treated as possessions
A profound reminder of oppression

Holier than thou
Heavier than God
Blessed be thy name
It’s coming down
Heavier than God
Holier than thou

Her identity remains a mystery
Deprived of dignity and her self esteem
Forced modesty without equality
Sacrificed her life to live unseen
