TRACK DESCRIPTION
Our world preys ruthlessly upon women, and stifles their dreams.

lyrics

Beasts prowl past the watchers,
New blood in the streams,
No system’s been altered,
That’s nothing but a dream.

Boys stalk past the watchers,
Men unsafe, unclean,
No one can be trusted,
And love’s a crime scene.

(Chorus)
This is no woman's land.

The baby’s cries turn to woman’s screams,
Solace is only the stuff of dreams,
The irascible, insatiable hunters abound,
With beauty or power these demons are crowned,
And across their domains, unchecked and unchanged,
The children of Eve stumble forth under chains,
Ravaged, held in silence by the shock and the shame,
He takes a name, and starts a flame, he burns the trees to flush the game,
Her tears they fall like summer rain, these jewels he adds to glistening chain,
The fire reflects in his eyes,
He consumes her soul and she dies.
