We have all become aware of the Pashtun women - beaten, killed, forced back into their shrouds, just as they thought they might have some element of freedom

Story behind the song
It is only by chance that we arrive in the world in one place or another.
We are tall or small - fat or thin - red haired or curly haired - godless or god-promoting.
Imagine how a godless female forced to wear a shroud of death throughout her life, might fare. Imagine her grief for her daughters.
Lyrics
A Pashtun Parcel
chorus
A Pashtun Parcel
Hidden from the sky
A Pashtun parcel
I will grow and die
And no-one cares
That I can't see the sky
And no-one knows
That I will grow and die
Grow and die
I grieve for life
To feel the wind upon my face
My daughter's life
We grow and die and disappear
To leave no trace
ch
There's more than this
I'm trapped inside a shroud of death
My life is this
This terror haunts my life
Til my last breath
ch
They give no choice
They try to force 'belief in god'
I have my mind
My thoughts and my beliefs
Are mine - not theirs
ch
They say he's good
Their god they say is just and right
If this is good
May goodness haunt their long and lonely night
ch
They say he's good
Their god they say is just and right
If this is good
May goodness haunt their long and lonely night
Their lonely night
May goodness haunt their long and lonely night
