Warning
Arch Enemy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am hunting for your soul
It dwells within your heart
I lacerate the pounding flesh
Your spirits shall be mine

So rise my spirit rise
Revel in this dead man's body
Grip his soul, sip the blood
Life or death
A holy carnage

Ravenous
I will be a god
Carnivorous Jesus
I need your flesh

Ritual slaughter
Fill up the chalice
With the essence of your life
Liquid strengths
Trapped in your veins
I crave your blood
You must die

Ravenous
I will be a god
Carnivorous Jesus
I need your blood

Ravenous
I will be a god
Carnivorous Jesus




I need your flesh
Flesh
