about

A song from 2012 inspired by medical reports on a tragic 19th century suicide attempt and the movie "Breaking the Waves" by Lars von Trier. This song is about a woman who decides to sacrifice her life for an abortion, to save the unborn child from the hell of a wrathful god.

lyrics

She was born (into this misbegotten world)
Cursed with ever-flawed design
Inherited by any offsprings soul
To never know a reality benign

Hell awaits that which is born
As God hates all his children
Child, I give the gift of void
Child unborn, child of sulfur

And now you are swallowed
by the safety of the dark
A golden act of endless mercy
To undo existence

Hell awaits that which is born
As God hates all his children
Child, I give the gift of void
Child unborn, child of sulfur

And now you are swallowed
by the safety of the dark
Eyes forever unopened
Blinded to my heartless world
