Lyrics
[Intro]
ONE
TWO
THREE
GO!
[Verse 1]
Listen up! This ain’t flesh and bone
This is holy halls turned danger zone
Smilin’ faces, switchblade tongues
Say “amen” then they pull the gun
Backroom whispers, public praise
Trial by rumor, judgment phase
Call it truth but it smells like rot
Eat your brother - say it’s not
[Pre-Hook – shouted buildup]
You bite
You chew
You tear right through
[Hook]
CANNIBAL!
You’re eatin’ your own!
CANNIBAL!
You sharpen the bone!
CANNIBAL!
Call it “right,” call it “zeal,”
But you’re feedin’ on the body you claim is real!
[Verse 2]
Hyper-critical, locked and loaded
Every sentence gets exploded
Tone police, doctrine cop
You don’t build - you just won’t stop
Grace talks but you mute the sound
Peace knocks - you shut it down
Too busy fightin’ inside the gate
Wonder why the fields lay waste
[Pre-Hook – shouted]
You bite
You chew
You tear right through
[Hook]
CANNIBAL!
You’re eatin’ your own!
CANNIBAL!
You sharpen the bone!
CANNIBAL!
Wave the flag, burn the ground,
You don’t preach the Gospel when you tear it down!
[Bridge]
Mark the divisive.
Warn them once.
Warn them twice.
Cut it loose.
Not every fight is faithfulness.
Not every shout is righteousness.
Mind the flesh.
Mind the mind.
Rest in the cross - stop wastin’ time.
[Break]
Who’s that eatin’ the saints?
CANNIBAL!
Who’s makin’ war in the church?
CANNIBAL!
Who forgot what the mission was?
CANNIBAL! CANNIBAL!
[Final Hook]
CANNIBAL!
You’re eatin’ your own!
CANNIBAL!
You’re gnawin’ the bone!
CANNIBAL!
Christ was killed - ONCE - for all,
Not so you could watch the brethren fall!
[Outro]
Drop the knife.
Lift the Son.
