A Woman’s Chains

These lyrics explore just a few of the ways the Bible treats women as property—enslaved, degraded, murdered, and blamed for the fall of humanity itself. It’s staggering that any woman would not only believe these atrocities were real but also worship a god who designed a world where women are so violently subjugated.

This song is for the women who pass down these stories, who teach patriarchal rules to their children as sacred truth. Instead of truth, they teach myth. Instead of liberation, they teach submission. They could walk freely yet choose not to. They hold the keys to their own chains—and refuse to use them.

If only they would.

Verse
Lot was just and righteous
In the eyes of God
Yet he offered up his daughters
To the lust of an angry mob
All I want to understand 
How was he the last good man?

Chorus
A woman is man’s property
That is her identity
If this does not offend you
I will not defend you
Simply put, you’ve lost your mind
If you can accept
That women were so designed

Verse
Rebecka’s brother and father
Gave her away to a stranger
Giving not a single thought
That she could be in danger
She had no voice, no refuge
And no right to refuse

Chorus
A woman is man’s property
That is her identity
If this does not offend you
I will not defend you
Simply put, you’ve lost your mind
If you can accept
That women were so designed

Verse
Do not covet your neighbor’s wife
Nor his slaves, nor his ox nor his ass
For these are owned by your neighbor
They are his to trade or amass
Yet you still call this holy law
And this is not the only flaw

Bridge
It’s true that every altar built 
Was placed on woman’s shame and guilt 
They put the guilt upon her head
They forced the shame on birthing beds
Yet still she kneels, and still she prays
While religion takes her voice away

Outro
A woman is a slave of slaves
Oblivious to all
She doesn’t know she isn’t free
Her chains are her theology
