Silent Scream Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ConCass 

Cover art for Silent Scream lyrics by Slayer

Tom Araya is Catholic, so his anti-abortion view wouldn't be surprising. Also, the song is named after an anti-abortion documentary called "the Silent Scream".

"Silent Scream, Bury the unwanted child" Simply, the fœtus is unwanted, so the baby is killed

"Sacrifice the unborn" Showing that the "child" is unborn, therefore a fœtus

"Bearer of no name" The baby has been killed before the parents have even named it

"Extraction termination" The fœtus is extracted

"Embryonic death" Pretty self explanatory

"Innocence withdrawn in fear" Through fear of giving birth and having a child, the "innocence" is removed swiftly

If anyone is saying that this isn't anti-abortion, then they clearly can't understand the lyrics.
