One of my few serious parodies.
Note: JS1 and JS2 chords denote special fingerings Joey devised specifically for the Blood Child song.
| From | Em birth | I knew you | Bm not | as equal | Em part | ner. |
| Com | C man | ded, yes, to | D hon | or and o | Em bey | . |
| This | G Gar | den that your | C God | gave us to | Bm live | in |
| Seems | C more | some kind of | D pris | on every | Em day | . |
You taught me you were made to be my master.
Unquestioning, I took it all as true.
But now the fruit of knowledge is within me,
And I can ask: just what am I to you?
| Chorus: |
|
Your God gave you the Earth for your dominion.
The birds and beasts, your right and lawful prey.
And last of all, a timid, weak companion,
Created as an afterthought one day.
I well recall my moment of conception,
An insubstantial spirit, deaf and dumb.
I watched in horror as he ripped you open
And plucked a rib to grow my body from.
| Chorus: |
A pair of tits. A piece of tail. Two legs To lead you into sin. A faceless, mindless, helpless broad. A field to sow your seed within. |
I shared with you the secrets I discovered:
The soft, forbidden pleasures of the night.
And my reward: the agony of labor,
His parting gift as we fled from his sight.
Upon that day I let you place inside me
The first of two male children you would sire,
To grow up filled with violence and anger,
Competing for the things that they desire.
| Chorus: |
A pair of tits. A piece of tail. Two legs To lead them into sin. A faceless, mindless, helpless broad. A field to sow their seed within. |
