Lyrics
[Canto I: Body of Christ (Corpus Christi). "{{{2}}}"]
Forgive her
For she knows
Not what she does...
A cross upon her bedroom wall
From grace she will fall
An image burning in her mind
And between her thighs
A dying God-man full of pain
When will you cum again?
Before him beg to serve or please
On your back or knees
There's no forgiveness for her sins
Prefers punishment?
Would you suffer eternally
Or internally?
Ah
For her lust
She'll burn in hell
Her soul done medium well
All through mass manual stimulation
Salvation
Corpus Christi
She needs
Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi
She needs
Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi
Body of Christ
She needs
Body of Christ
Body of Christ
[Canto II: To Love God. "{{{2}}}"]
She'd like to know God
Love God
Feel her God
Inside of her - deep inside of her
She'd like to know God
Love God
Feel, feel, feel
Her God
Inside of her
Deep inside of her
Inside of her
Deep inside of her
[Canto III: Jesus Christ Looks Like Me. "{{{2}}}"]
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ looks like me
Jesus Christ
