(John 6:53)

Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you

unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man

and drink his blood, you do not have life within you."

[Chorus]

A symbol of raw divinity

A Seal of eternity's gateway

Visceral carnal focal point

Mental images of the most holy deity

The apostles quarreled at eating flesh

The early church cast as a cannibal cult

The ancients wrote of drinking God's blood

For over a thousand years all believed

That he was there...

[Chorus]

A symbol of raw divinity

A Seal of eternity's gateway

Is a symbolic view the milk of babes?

A necessary concession of an "enlightened" age?

Did the apostles mis-train their disciples?

Or has half the church been deceived?

If you are there shall I not bow before you?

If I chew your flesh should I not kneel before it?

Will you have compassion towards our need for carnal symbols?

Will you lead the faithful away from that which you hate?
