The Ballad of Dena & Andrea
Tonight I tell the tale of two women and their strife
Both devoted to the Lord and took their children's lives
Andrea Yates from Houston is the name you probably know
Police found her babies wet and breathing no more
She was a Valedictorian Worked as a registered nurse
Married Rusty and they followed a preacher who said she was cursed
She gave birth to four babies and after the fourth one
Her doctor told her no more on account of depression
But along came baby Mary their only little girl
Who knew then that she would have only six months on this world
Andrea tried to kill herself many times with pills and knives
Restrained herself so hard you could see bruises on her thighs
Again the doctor ordered her to be chaperoned
Rusty thought it'd be ok if he left them all home
She begged her husband not to leave her alone with their kids
He smiled and said you love them turned around and left he did
In under one hour she had filled up the tub
and taken all the lives of the babies that she loved
Her husband Rusty peered into the house window
Andrea what have you done as if he couldn't have known
Dena Schlosser is the woman who you may not know
Some call her the Baby Chopper of Plano
Dena has her Bachelor's in the school of psychology
Worked at a daycare center and started a family
They joined a church whose Pastor says medicine is a sin
And commands that women should silently obey their men
Her husband John he told her that she could work no more
Then he lost his job and so it goes they ended up poor
A day after baby Maggie came into this world
Dena fell into despair her mind began to swirl
She ran away from home and she slit her wrists
Since they took her off her meds she could see the apocalypse
Blood in the streets and demons as she cut off Maggie's arms
Was Dena's final vision to save her from Satan's harms
These two women were set up with beds in North Texas
Strangers but now roommates shut away from all of us
Postpartum psychosis was a card that they were dealt
What was happening in their bodies What was it they felt
Their crimes for us so ghoulish for them their worst mistake
How do you know for sure that if broken no lives you'd take
Both devoted to the Lord and took their children's lives
Andrea Yates from Houston is the name you probably know
Police found her babies wet and breathing no more
She was a Valedictorian Worked as a registered nurse
Married Rusty and they followed a preacher who said she was cursed
She gave birth to four babies and after the fourth one
