Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt - The Mars Volta

You must have been phlegmatic in stature

The gates of Thanos are-a spread eagle wide

You let the shutters make sackcloth and ashes

Out of a blind man’s picaresque heart

You take the veil

You 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 take the dive

You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth (They're gonna get you)

As flies have walls for feet

A rapturous verbatim (You better run now)

Someone said, but who’s to know?

And when you find the fringe (They won’t let you)

The one last hit that spent you

You’ll find the ossuary (You better fight now)

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

Ad-libbing memoirs, casting a drought

You take the veil

You take the dive

You take the veil

A mass of gallon sloth (They're gonna get you)

As flies have walls for feet

A rapturous verbatim (You better run now)

Someone said, but who’s to know?

And when you find the fringe (They won’t let you)

The one last hit that spent you

You’ll find the ossuary (You better fight now)

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

Oh!

Virulent hives of bedpost piles

Virulent hives, virulent hives

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

Who brought me here?
