Cruel Communion Songtext
von Slow Goat

The Savior died to deliver men
He saved them all when He rose again
A loving Lord bestowed the gift
The same that caused the Red Sea to shift

All believers partake to be pure
Their faults and sins they seek to cure
Swallow the bread and drink the wine
The body was given freely to dine

Breaking the body
Drinking the blood
Come now, live forever
Heaven awaits

Me
I know I′m pure
Feast, fill, feed

The Word made flesh and the flesh made fare
A sacred rite conducted in prayer
Nourished by the Prophet's skin
His followers now absolved of sin


Unto the world they proselytize
A pious vision which clouds their eyes
Sated by the Holy Ghost
Consumed themselves by their Heavenly Host

Breaking the body
Drinking the blood
Come now, live forever
Heaven awaits

Me
I know I′m pure
Feast, fill, feed

Cruel communion consumed in droves
By every mouth the Spirit chose
To speak His Word and do His will
In the name of love, by the thousands they kill

Listen now what I say to you
I am the way, the life, the truth
My kingdom come, my will be done
Bear witness and enter the Kingdom of Heaven

Heaven, Heaven, Oh


Breaking the body
Drinking the blood
Come now, live forever
Heaven awaits

This is a cruel communion
