Lyrics
[Verse 1] Now, this is the beginning, dear Have you come to start a fight? Oh, you say you won't, but you know you might Push the living off this edge

[Chorus] Oh, mother, please... They have no need for your boy

[Verse 2] I've been bitten by disease, my dear The hurt has come, within my heart Should you say you don't, I might fall apart Come darkness, shroud your end

[Chorus] Oh, mother, please... They have no need for your boy

Story Context
"" '''As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.'''

From the title, we get the hint that there is an altercation between two people: Sir Arthur McCloud, the father of Cecilia McCloud, and Moses Early, father of Johnny Early, Cecillia's love interest (it is unclear from the album if they are already dating). As Arthur is sexually assaulting Cecillia, the line, "I've been bitten by disease, my dear / The hurt has come, within my heart" could be his reasoning for fighting with Johnny's father in the first place: if he can't have her, no one can.
