Cold, neon light -- eyes full of fright A cellar room, flagstones on floor and walls whitewashed, no window Maddening stench -- of moldiness A simple table covered with a shabby piece of cloth Single woman present, no one else Terrified Electrified Your disgrace will be purged now Narcosis takes effect The needle penetrates your womb Dark secret now erased Age of fifteen -- untouched you've been One night an unknown man descended you, assaulted you Secret concealed -- no one involved Inquire a local midwife known for help, discrete and fast Blood and tears falling to the ground Terrified Electrified Unborn life so innocent, ended by unaware hand Distress forced to act, conscience ignored 'cause of shame
