lyrics

O terrible Lord,
A child is upon us
May its passage be beastly and noisome
And may it wreak havoc and hell fire
Let this child come into this world
Carrying the shame of its ancestors
Bless this child’s cursed arrival

But should this birth be empty
Let the body release the soul
So what remains will be a memorial in flesh
A hollow vessel, reminding us of the great
terrors it may have brought onto this earth
May its corpse be a church, honoring what
almost was
