Lyrics:
Eat the bread, drink the wine
Sermon about the one divine
Preach to me on how to live
Tell me what I should give

Give us this day, our daily bread
Give us this day, our daily bread
Give us this day, our daily bread
Tell us about the one who bled

How do I remain clean
Show me what the symbols mean
Punish me when I think
Of glistening wet flesh of pink

Give us this day, our daily bread
Give us this day, our daily bread
Give us this day, our daily bread
Dump the lies into our heads

Bless me Father for I have sinned
More than you have imagined
Take away your prayers and bibles
Let me live free of libels

Bless me Father for I have sinned
More than you have imagined
I feel no need to give confessions
Nor satisfy your fucked obsessions

Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Which one screws me the most
Say he was nailed to a tree
Don't expect me to feel guilty

Mass has ended, gone for good
Mass has ended, gone for good
Mass has ended, gone for good
I've done what I know I should

Aborted faith and devotion
Abandoned the holy notion
Casted out Jesus Christ
And his fucked book of lies

Mass has ended, gone for good
Mass has ended, gone for good
Mass has ended, gone for good
I'd forget if I could
