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
S
o 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.
