CONTRAVENE lyrics : "Traditions"

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 $#&@ed

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 $#&@ing 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
