Exodus - 'Prescribing Horror' (lyric video)
Discarded, deformed
babies of the chemical age
Mutated, some unborn
dying in their fetal cage
On the day of the nativity in ‘56
comes a child forsaken
The first of a hundred thousand,
cursed by a drug they’d taken
Chorus
Condemned to a life unkind
as they suffered in silence
The Hell of Thalidomide
all in the name of science
A mother’s ruin
all for another’s greed
Prescribing horror and sorrow when they breed
Melody Gary
Miscarriage, disparage
live a life of anguish
Midwives were taking lives
so the child it would not languish
Suffocating newborn daughters and sons
for their malformations
Given toxic poison
that twisted a generation
Repeat chorus
First created in the past
as an antidote for Sarin gas
Created in camps of death
what price a pound of flesh?
Limbless, eyeless
all organs displaced
They made money hand over fist
by selling this toxic waste
Repeat chorus

Gary Holt: «We are pleased to share one last lyric video with you, my personal favorite song on the album, ‘Prescribing Horror’. A little tale of motherhood and a drug, and what happens when greed comes before life and safety. The story of Thalidomide»
