Canticle of the Flesh Lyrics


Come now, my son and listen to my wise words

They are just meant to soothe your weary soul

Come now, my son and listen to my wise words

Let me free your mind…

Everyday in our life

We are scared by how our flesh can be so frail

So much that we need to believe

In a stronger spirit that will survive it

Our God offers you

Eternal life in a paradise

Tell me, how can you beat this offer?

Our God cleansed all our sins

By the sacrifice of himself

Tell me true, have you ever thought

About anything so cool?

Flesh, flesh, so tender and warm

It withholds the spirit, but the spirit’s so strong

Flesh, it will get spots and decay

Where your soul will fly, no one can say

No need for instincts, no need for thoughts

Ain’t it easier when your path is clear ahead?

And if you are a good dog

You can get an extra bone from time to time

Our God offers you

Eternal life in a paradise

Tell me, how can you beat this offer?

Our God cleansed all our sins

By the sacrifice of himself

Tell me true, have you ever thought

About anything so cool?

Flesh, flesh, so tender and warm

It withholds the spirit, but the spirit’s so strong

Flesh, it will get spots and decay

Where your soul will fly, no one can say

How can you beat this offer?

Flesh, flesh, so tender and warm

It withholds the spirit, but the spirit’s so strong

Flesh, it will get spots and decay

Where your soul will fly, no one can say
