Lyrics - The Unnatural Conception In Two Parts by Paramaecium

THE
BIRTH
AND
THE
MASSACRE
OF
THE
INNOCENTSThe 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
