We are, all of us, born in pain
Warm as a babe birthed in blood
Caked in crimson and crying
As our mothers lie in waste
Warm as a babe birthed in blood
The dawn of day breaks over the horizon
As our mothers lie in waste
A kaleidoscope of oranges, yellows and blazing white
The dawn of day breaks over the horizon
An eggshell is cracked over a sizzling skillet
A kaleidoscope of oranges, yellows and blazing white
Consumed life for the sake of nourishment
An eggshell is cracked over a sizzling skillet
The wildcats’ eyes flash as it lies in wait
Consumed life for the sake of nourishment
Sharpened, shaking teeth on marbled chestnut furs
The wildcats’ eyes flash as it lies in wait
We are, all of us, born in pain
Sharpened, shaking teeth on marbled chestnut furs
Caked in crimson and crying
