The Unnatural Conception In Two Parts Lyrics

The Unnatural Conception In Two Parts lyrics

THE BIRTH AND THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS

The embryo implants the
uterine lining, folding within its amniotic abode
The gut and neural tubes
forming in conjunction
Cardiac impulse with foetal brain function

The
journey was harsh, days on the road in the dirt
The young couple compelled by
the census taker to reach the City of David
The time came for the birth of
her firstborn but no lodgings were found
So, wrapped in strips of cloth, the
child was placed in an animal feeding trough

In the absence of
relations
The human paternal genome left in want
The Word became flesh
and blood through the unnatural conception

The uterine contractions are
a source of pain
The agonising passage through cervix dilating
Vacating
the endometrium the child emerges, afterbirth, initial
respiration

Infanticide has gripped Ephrath, mothers cry as their
children die
His Highness, his wickedness, Herod the Great
Has
slaughtered the innocents for his excruciating jealousy

The Magi had
informed Herod of the birth of a king
His unbridled ambition was crushed by
the arrival of the Christ
He consulted the chief priests and scribes as to
the place of birth
Then, with his throne in thought, the ugly violence of
the murders were wrought
But too late for the child of promise had fled to
western lands

The Word became flesh and blood through the unnatural
conception
Thus the Christ of prophecy was born
