One by One

From birth they are treated as pawns Their taught not to know right from wrong Stripped from their mothers they wait for the call With boots and a brand they will claim Just numbers they lose all their names Fight for their freedom and die for the cause But One by One they rise and they fall Could not escape the clarion call By color and number blindly they lay down their lives Waiting to fight and die by the knife As women we're tied up in chains Forced to care for our bodies in shame Ripped of our rights, Its my war to fight We scream and we cry and we thrash I just hope that this will not last Remember your mothers We'll die for the cause But one by one we rise and we fall Stripped of our lives we'll die one and all By color and number blindly we lay down our lives To live for the fight and die by the knife
