One by One

From birth they are treated as pawns
Their taught not to know right from wrong
Stripped from their mothers they wait for the call
With boots and a brand they will claim
Just numbers they lose all their names
Fight for their freedom and die for the cause

But One by One they rise and they fall
Could not escape the clarion call
By color and number blindly they lay down their lives
Waiting to fight and die by the knife

As women we're tied up in chains
Forced to care for our bodies in shame
Ripped of our rights, Its my war to fight
We scream and we cry and we thrash
I just hope that this will not last
Remember your mothers
We'll die for the cause

But one by one we rise and we fall
Stripped of our lives we'll die one and all
By color and number blindly we lay down our lives
To live for the fight and die by the knife
