Lyrics for Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt

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 mans 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 flys have walls for feet A rapturous verbatim-someone said but who is to know And when you find the fringe The one last hit that spent you You'll find the ossuary spilling by the day The iconoclastic had it coming for years They know the prisons that 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 flys have walls for feet A rapturous verbatim-someone said but who is 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 it's sleep again Knife me in hobbling Talking in 'it's' sleep again Virulent hives-of bedpost piles Virulent hives Who brought me here? Forsaken, depraved and wrought with fear Who turned it off The last thing I remember now Who brought me here? Forsaken, depraved and wrought with fear Who turned it off The last thing I remember now Who brought me here?
