Two pairs of headlights
Cut a night as black as coal
I chase predatorily my prize
Down these old darkened roads
Panic stricken, hapless mother
Fearful for her pregnancy
In a grave miscalculation
She wildly yanks the wheel into a tree
See that big old god up there?
Well he don’t see me
I’ve prayed and prayed
And gone to church incessantly
In a daze I find our newly bleeding host
Never goes quite as planned this much I know
In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it’s drawn so deadly sharp
In the backseat of her car
An infant is carved into this world-
Not sacredly
Not carefully
The child in hate belongs to me
Cut a night as black as coal
I chase predatorily my prize
Down these old darkened roads
Panic stricken, hapless mother
Fearful for her pregnancy
In a grave miscalculation
She wildly yanks the wheel into a tree
See that big old god up there?
Well he don’t see me
I’ve prayed and prayed
And gone to church incessantly
In a daze I find our newly bleeding host
Never goes quite as planned this much I know
In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it’s drawn so deadly sharp
In the backseat of her car
An infant is carved into this world-
Not sacredly
Not carefully
The child in hate belongs to me
