MOTHER

Cover your shame.
I am wearing it too.
Let us kill this foul garment together.
DAUGHTER and CHILD
 LIBERTY and DEATH 
LIBERTY

Not a child at all, but fetus.
Listen to my call
my reasonable doctrine.
He eats a fetus, not a child.
come give us freedom's sacrifice.
DEATH

I believe we are turning the tide of life.
So much innocent blood!
License, even Ba'al did not serve me
So well as you in your Liberty costume.

CHORUS OF LIBERTY AND DEATH

Come give us freedom's sacrifice.

DAUGHTER

Phantoms all
But promise sweet
Freedom I will choose to keep
Begone red baby whose lying blood
I deny henceforth.

Please don't look at me.
Your eyes are mine.
THE CHILD

No, I grow
And love.
Eight years ago you sent me home.
I think you thought me enemy.
When I run to you in Heaven
You will know I am your baby.

When you know you're sorry.
