Confusing and scared there is a decision made with this choice a child has to pay
She puts it's life in her hands, and then she destroys its only chance to become someone in life
You should of thought about the baby before you had sex, because you have destroyed a gift from God
You kill, you destroyed
Never will this baby be able to grow up or show its love
You'll never hear it say I love you, I love you
God does not give you the privilege to carry a child for nothing
When you kill, you destroy that child's dreams and hopes
How innocent a baby is... how can you put it to death?
What if you were aborted... you could of never had life
And now you make a choice to take this child's life because it is a burden in your hands
A burden in your hands
Destroyed out of convenience
They put an end to you life because you're too big a burden and one that they can not have
So they take your life before your first breath
When will it stop, the killings continue
Babies die everyday because of a pro choice made
Helpless and innocent they are put to death
Then why did the parents choose to plant a seed and then destroy it?
Pray for the people who are killing the kids of tomorrow
How desperately they need Jesus Christ in their hearts
So they take your life because you're a burden in their hands
Destroyed out of convenience
They put a end to your life because you're too big a burden and one that they can not have
So they take your life before your first breath,
so they take your life before your first breath
She puts it's life in her hands, and then she destroys its only chance to become someone in life
You should of thought about the baby before you had sex, because you have destroyed a gift from God
You kill, you destroyed
Never will this baby be able to grow up or show its love
You'll never hear it say I love you, I love you
God does not give you the privilege to carry a child for nothing
When you kill, you destroy that child's dreams and hopes
How innocent a baby is... how can you put it to death?
What if you were aborted... you could of never had life
And now you make a choice to take this child's life because it is a burden in your hands
A burden in your hands
Destroyed out of convenience
They put an end to you life because you're too big a burden and one that they can not have
So they take your life before your first breath
When will it stop, the killings continue
Babies die everyday because of a pro choice made
Helpless and innocent they are put to death
Then why did the parents choose to plant a seed and then destroy it?
Pray for the people who are killing the kids of tomorrow
How desperately they need Jesus Christ in their hearts
So they take your life because you're a burden in their hands
Destroyed out of convenience
They put a end to your life because you're too big a burden and one that they can not have
So they take your life before your first breath,
so they take your life before your first breath

1. The song sounds badass.
2. The lyrics are really terrible and could have been written better, but then again this is old-school underoath. Still, it sounds more like a Public service announcement than poetry.
3. The point of this site isn't to discuss whether or not you like the song, it's to discuss the meaning of the lyrics from a non-biased point-of-view.
This song is obviously about abortion from a Christian point of view. It speaks out against abortion and how people should reconsider having abortions because it is wrong.
I don't think less of underoath for their opinions. I'm pro-CHOICE. It doesn't mean pro-choice people are pro-abortion, they just support the right for women to have the option to either go through with the pregnancy or terminate it. I personally don't agree with the message of the song, but that isn't why I think the lyrics are terrible. It has no real rhythm or pattern to the "poetry," none of it rhymes. If Underoath weren't able to time the lyrics well when screaming them, this could have been a terrible song.
But this isn't a review, this is simply a song meaning site. So once again, "abortion is wrong, people who do it need christ, it's a problem plaguing god's unborn gifts, people should accept responsibility for the possible consequences of having sex."
...well, that's just wrong. -_-
I agree that the lyrics aren't that well-written, but the music is phenonemal and the band should be commended for their relentless execution.
"Go end yourself now"
How pro-life you sound.
I don't like the song. I don't like the message. So I posted something about it. That is the point of this website, is it not?
But of course, it's ok for all you pro-lifers to post about how much you love this song. But once a pro-choicer comes in and challenges it, you all have to make a personal attack.
Secondly, I wasn't being an antagonist. I would hardly call posting an opinion being antagonistic. But telling me to go end myself and calling me stupid, now that is antagonistic.
Bunch of hypocrites here.
Typical liberal ignorance. Clearly if anyone has a different view, they are insane.
I fully agree with pozer11. End yourself now.
Oh yes, and to any pro-lifer that may have something to say to me, I pose two questions to you:
1. Do you support wars that your country wages?
2. Do you support the death penalty?
3. Do you eat meat?
If you answered yes to any of those three questions then feel free to shut your hypocritical mouth.
