The sun ablaze in the eye that sits blinded
Bonded to the hand that sits minded
The unborn locked away
In a factory owning the everlasting day

Stolen and caged then left to bleed
While the suits of slow death are smothered in greed
Through cobwebs of life they sift
Stripped by the hand in the iron fist

Whipped by the piercing eyes of the overseer
The ministry of love martyred its breeder
Shackled to the factory floor in chains of emptiness
Sweating the toil that robs them lifeless

As dawn floods the dusty moors
These frozen lines ascend at factory doors
While across faraway forbidden shores
Sheep flock to incarcerating stores

The unborn locked away
In a factory owning the everlasting day
