It's about the Holy Blood of Christ.

I just heard this on the radio today on one of the stations around here <i>not</i> playing Christmas music, and it occurred to me that this could easily pass as a Christmas song. It has peace and love, and it even has the bells.

Never thought about it before, but perhaps it does allude to the Eucharist.

Drink it right down pass it all around

Drink it with your brother trust in one another

yeah yeah
