They call it freedom, call it fair,
but rulers sell what isn’t theirs.
A woman’s life, a market toy,
her body traded for their joy.
The streets are full of lies and shame,
and power plays a twisted game.

The kings pretend to keep the law,
but take her rights and watch her fall.
Her dreams are chained, her hope betrayed,
a dark bargain that they have made.
Yet one day truth will pierce the night,
and crush the crown with fiery light
