This song is about a Palestinian refugee named Yara who was beaten to death by her uncle’s wife when she was only 8 years old.
Yara had fled to Sweden and her parents were still in Gaza when the tragedy occurred.
During the days
The vision slips away
Cause in the light
I can barely see your face
But in the night
I see your face
Unable to comprehend
And when she smote
Smote your head
How I wish I could be there
And take your blows instead
And in my dreams
I´ll hold you
To scare away the dark
I´ll comfort thee
Them silent screams
I´d help you make them stop
Cause in the night
I see your face
Unable to comprehend
And I will dry
Dry your tears
Female evil
I try to understand
I don´t understand
The dark side of man
