Paramaecium - The Unnatural Conception In Two Parts: The Birth A lyrics

rate me

[Music by A. Tompkins, J. Sherlock and J. De Ron]

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
