Matthew Rahman - Honor Killing Lyrics

What would you say, love
All along the Empty Quarter
There's black gold on the mountain
Of the eastern border

What would you say now
All along the porcelain palace
There's a caravan of elephants
Campaigning for the caliph

What would you say now
If I tried to fight them off from us
Would you maintain yourself
If they came for your children

If they try to disappear us
I say sayonara
It's a honor killing

What would you do, my love
If you saw their faces before us
Spoiled children they call warlords
Mooching off their fathers

What will you do now
While they're playing dress-up, all the while
Is this Parliament
Or a monkey trial?

If they're gonna disappear us
May peace be upon them
But it's a honor killing

They will not take our children from us
