Entabeni (feat. PeelingFlesh)

Qina ndoda namhlanje uzozwa ukubi

Forced to participate tradition

This rite of passage

Has claimed the blood of countless

Adolescents

Rebirthed into this veil of adulthood

Cuts from head to toe, their life force flows

The bloodthirst sated

These boys will wager their own lives

The elder at the ceremony prepares his knife

He cuts

You must be willing to die

He cuts

To be inducted as a man

He cuts

You must be willing to die

He cuts

Prove your mettle while he strips your skin

Draped in robes of wool, initiated, they shall endure

Filth seeps in their skin, now acknowledge by elder kin

Stripped of their old cloth, now it burns and smoke comes forth

Dehydrated, the healing begins

Endure the rite and now bleed

Tradition has taken hold and is blurring the lines of our ignorance

Dehydrated, the healing begins

Endure the rite and now bleed

Tradition has taken hold and is blurring the lines of our ignorance

Cuts

Yeah, you must be willing to die

He cuts

To be inducted as a man

Bathed in our forefathers blood the

Endless cycle has no intent of being erased

We will bury our past and begin anew, we must uphold tradition

The right to be known amongst the clan as an adult has to be earned by your drive

Forsake who you once wear and shed your essence rise to the standards we've placed before you

Draped in robes of wool, initiated, they shall endure

Filth seeps in their skin, now acknowledge by elder kin

Stripped of their old cloth, now it burns and smoke comes forth

This will be the last you'll ever see your foolish past

Judgment, judgment

You will be exiled, defaced

You will be judged

For your transgressions, you will not be seen as a threat, nor a man

Judgment, judgment, you will be exiled

Defaced, you will be judged for your

Transgressions have not been met with the

Grace of the tribe

Judgment, judgment, you will be exiled

Defaced, you will be

Judged
