Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt

The Mars Volta

You must have been phlegmatic in stature
The gates of thanos are spread eagle wide
You let the shutters make sackcloth and ashes
Out of a blind man's picaresque heart

You take the veil
You'll take the dive
You take the veil

It's not over till the tremulant sings
These ides of march are they so make believe?
How tempts the revenant
Slice up and not across

You take the veil
You'll take the dive
You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth
As flies have walls for feet
A rapturous verbatim
Someone said but who's to know?
And when you find the fringe
The one last hit that spent you
You'll find the ossuary
Spilling by the day

Iconoclastic had it coming for years
They know the prisons you have yet to fear
Where thumbs hide inside of sleeping bag mouths
Adlib your memoirs by casting a drought

You take the veil
You'll take the dive
You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth
As flies have walls for feet
A rapturous verbatim
Someone said but who's to know?
And when you find the fringe
The one last hit that spent you
You'll find the ossuary
Spilling by the day

Knife me in
Hobbling
Talking in its sleep again

Knife me in
Hobbling
Talking in its sleep again

Knife me in
Hobbling
Talking in its sleep again

Knife me in
Hobbling
Talking in its sleep again

Virulent hives
Of bedpost piles

Virulent hives
Of bedpost piles

Who brought me here?
Forsaken, deprived, and wrought with fear?
Who turned it off?
The last thing I remember now
Who brought me here?
Forsaken, deprived, and wrought with fear?
Who turned it off?
The last thing I remember now
Whi brought me here?
