Can't Take Mine

from Kiss The Witch by Boe Huntress

/

lyrics

Rape is the war we are running from
Another lucky escape walking on the streets alone at night
Why can't I feel safe under the stars? This is my home
Must I live in fear every day?
It keeps us afraid of our beauty, hiding our fullness
ashamed of our sensuality
Why do we carry the shame of this, isn't it yours?

You can see my power is in my body
Is that why you want to take it?
Your war is with yourself wont you leave me out of it
Enough is enough. No more

Whether you're a stranger, whether you’re a soldier
Whether you’re a husband, whether you’re a father
You cannot take away from her
The very thing that gave you life in the first place
No you can't take that by force
So ask your heart if it exists anymore
So ask your heart if it still beats in there
Cos you can't take mine

Rape is the war that continues
Your weapon of choice is your very own body
Under the cover of dark, in marriage beds, in nursery rooms
We try not to talk too much about it cos its just too sad
That this is how it is, or maybe we're trying to protect you
Cos you lost your heart and you're hollow inside

Take heart sister you're not on your own
You might have no one to talk to but I feel you in my bones
I can hear you, your tears are my tears, we'll rage together
For this war on our home
Our bodies are the earth and the earth is our body
May we one day walk in a land where man knows his heart
And his true power's found
