Ravenous Lyrics

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

[Harmony - Michael and Christopher]

So rise my spirit rise!
Revel in this dead mans' body
Grip his soul, sip the blood
Life is death
A holy carnage

[Lead - Christopher]

Ravenous
I will be your 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!

The song is against agressive, brutally missionaristic christian sects. That is why the reference to Jesus. Not Jesus is carnivorous, but these sects act like a ravenous, carnivorous Jesus in their effort to grip every human soul, kill the 'flesh' that is the 'sinful' human nature in christian symbolism, while 'you have to die for yourself', and be exploited by them, to gain 'eternal spiritual life'.

cannibal corpse anyone?

Cannibal corpse...prr the singer sounds like a drunken guy eating his way out of horses ass...

But anyway to the song. The whole song is totally insane. Not just the drums but the guitar if you ask me. Totally rocking song. CartoonVioulence...you dont know whats your talking about. But yes the song is great. Well cannibal corpse..its not praising satan nor satanism its just sick and by sick i do not mean just the lyrics and the farting noises the singer makes trough his nose i mean the whole bands history and live and the members. But if we are talking about black metal. Heres some for mister CartoonV: Horna,mayhem,gorgoroth.

mayhem is the best. no doubt.
