Lyrics
Canto I: Body of Christ (Corpus Christi)
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
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
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
