Warning
Arch Enemy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
