The Child Catcher

Remember when you'd never heard of him

Your first reaction might have been to smile

Once upon a time, your unadulterated mind

Could not conceive of something of this kind

That you would wither and die on the vine

Alabaster demon

Transmogrifying semen

Now was this in the agreement

Now I understand what she meant

Blood-soaked pathogen

Tied for first place with original sin

I really wish I'd never let him in

Now I can feel him deep down in my skin

The child catcher is alive

His shape is shifting right before your eyes again

He's always been there in the shadows calling out your name

When he gets hold of you no thing will ever be the same

The child catcher has arrived

But now he doesn't ever have to hide again

He beckons you to come inside his brightly colored carriage

That's where the coupling happens ending in a deadly marriage

The perfect time to take control of minds

A recent scientific study finds, is in the womb

Life nipped in the bud

Delivered subtly through the the mother's own blood

You'll never know exactly what it was

The happy nest becomes the perfect tomb

The child catcher is alive

His shape is shifting right before your eyes again

He's always been there in the shadows calling out your name

When he gets hold of you no thing will ever be the same

The child catcher has arrived

But now he doesn't ever have to hide again

He beckons you to come inside his brightly colored carriage

That's where the coupling happens ending in a deadly marriage
