"Esther Weeps" lyrics
Sister's mute, restrained
As they go bleeding from friction that sticks in
Stoned for their protesting
Is she just property? Virginity? Or lesser?
Lilith
Mother to all the Me Too outcasts
Midwives
Playing the harp
When Esther weeps
If she don't cry out
What is she worth to you?
Fifty shekels?
Lilith
Mother to all the Me Too outcasts
Midwives
Playing the harp
When Esther cries out
Washing her hands
The blood
Her rapist leaves town
Where was your god
When Esther wept?
When Esther wept
A hateful god
Makes you from his rib
He takes and robs
And forced you to serve him
Made to give birth
Protected by false faith
How could she love?
Reflections of his face
How could she love?
The rule of thumbs
Back of the hand
All but ignored
It's all in God's plan
It's your body, your choice
Patriarchs know
Smother their kids
And take what is yours
How could she love?
Sisters and mothers fight
Demanding answers
From you monsters
You Christians
Justify your sex lust
Look them in the eye
When you tell them that they're helpless
They're worthless, they're nothing
They're nothing, just objects
Just objects
Sisters and mothers fight
Demanding answers
Sisters and mothers fight
Demanding answers
Look 'em in the eye
When you tell them that they're helpless
As they go bleeding
From friction that sticks in
Sisters and mothers fight
Demanding answers
A hateful god
Makes you from his rib
He takes and robs
And forced you to serve him
Made to give birth
Protected by false faith
How could she love?
Reflections of his face
Where was your god?
Where was your god?
Where was your god?
Where was your god?
A hateful god, no
A hateful god, no
A hateful god, no
Sister's mute, restrained
As they go bleeding from friction that sticks in
(While Esther weeps)
Sister's mute, restrained
As they go bleeding from friction that sticks in
As they go bleeding from friction that sticks in
Stoned for their protesting
Is she just property? Virginity? Or lesser?
Lilith
Mother to all the Me Too outcasts
Midwives
Playing the harp
When Esther weeps
If she don't cry out
What is she worth to you?
Fifty shekels?
Lilith
Mother to all the Me Too outcasts
Midwives
Playing the harp
When Esther cries out
Washing her hands
The blood
Her rapist leaves town
Where was your god
When Esther wept?
When Esther wept
A hateful god
Makes you from his rib
He takes and robs
And forced you to serve him
Made to give birth
Protected by false faith
How could she love?
Reflections of his face
How could she love?
The rule of thumbs
Back of the hand
All but ignored
It's all in God's plan
It's your body, your choice
Patriarchs know
Smother their kids
And take what is yours
How could she love?
Sisters and mothers fight

Sister's mute, restrained
As they go bleeding from friction that sticks in
(While Esther weeps)
Sister's mute, restrained
As they go bleeding from friction that sticks in
