Hanged for heresy by the church Buried for respect by the arabs Burned for sattee by the hindus The soul cried in the heaven Why did you kill me ? So what if I was a girl ? Do not call me a curse , for you do not know ! Innocents were chewed by the vicious Innocents were abandon by the vicious The soul in the heaven cursed The soul in the heaven cursed ! Then ! The heart softened Tears streamed down Soul trembled ... Heart ached And then I lived ... And for once I did live !
