...With a Stone in my Maw

I shall infect them All the voices shall say My body I claimed as my own Rejecting the will of God A sacrifice to the moon of blood Of my own blood! I shall infect them All the children shall sing Under the light of full moon Dancing among the silver trees Reveling in this flesh granted to me Which is mine! They shall hunt me In the home claimed by me On the cold stones I walk In the sheets that cloak me In the darkness that I call my own They shall kill me Putting me down in the streets Like a dog, like a monster For the petty crime of claiming my flesh My body and my bones I am safe until my nature is discovered A falsified truth that they believe A reality that is no longer real A mass delusion of my enemies I reject their laws when I pierce my skin I burn their sanctuaries when I mold my flesh I kill their god when I claim what is mine I spit on the notion of divine right And claim my body My birthright given to me By the blood of my mother They do not understand They do not tolerate They do not abide They cannot allow me to exist So they bury me on my side With a stone in my maw
