Bloodchild Songtext
von Julia Ecklar

From birth I knew you not as "worm" or "monster"
I grew and learned to see you as a friend
But now the time of choices is upon me
And dying might be easier an end

Our ancestors had fled here from their own world
To find a place where they could all be free
But this "preserve" your kind gave us to live in
Is looking more a prison camp to me

The taste of egg, the sting of tail
Your limbs caress and cage me in
Through soothing, lulling, dulling dreams
I sense your children lie within

You taught me with your diagrams and drawing
To make me understand the birthing way
But I was never shown the pain or terror
Protected, yes, until that awful day


When the man without the one whose seed he carried
Could wait no longer, to your limbs he clung
I watched in horror as she ripped him open
To pluck out all the healthy blood-fed young

The taste of egg, the sting of tail
Your limbs caress and cage me in
Through soothing, lulling, dulling dreams
I know your children grow within

I saw that we were merely your host creatures
And suicide my best alternative
But you said you had long ago decided
So with your love for me I chose to live

Upon that day I let you place inside me
The first of several eggs which I now bear
And yet, in drowsy half-sleep I remember
The writhing, oozing flesh ... and I despair

The taste of egg, the sting of tail
Your limbs caress and cage me in
Through soothing, lulling, dulling dreams
I feel your children feed within
