  • Tell me it's over
    Rusbel awaits
    I've been to the surface
    And nothing is there
    Eyelids sank muffled
    In the nerve aura sound
    But when she awakes
    Will she still be with us?

    My heart is darkclots
    Leap year is late
    How did you get here?
    Ask all but the bait
    From a Christ that went hissing
    Constricting his cells
    We summon by candle by book and by bell

    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence

    The sermon goes mourning
    Pricking it's hail
    Slothful the child
    That preys on the seed
    Shall behead the drough
    Wound under sleeves
    I hope you have room
    In a thicket of vines

    Give me a moment
    To clean what you've stole
    The streets will hang high
    Stretch ribs and let taste
    We'll cover the smell
    With silver nitrate
    Mending the cuts of your prosthetic faith

    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals
    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals

    Then so long
    Dear mnemonic
    Assume the form you've given me
    And I'll spill
    Now hold on
    Just hold my hand
    Say that they made you but
    You brought your own leash
    Tell me no more, no
    Tell me no more
    No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ah

    Outside
    By the drift
    You read my will
    Of thread and itch
    Failure to comply
    As failure to decease
    And still you won't know
    Everything
    I've built the fall

    Sulking drained the fall of my pale will swarming by your steps
    Licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts
    It only meant to drape a plastic over the stuck pig scalp of head
    To cover the sock where the flatline had spread
    The kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalynn Carter
    She says my map is home again but torn face down
    I have only but a million blemishes to tell you all about

    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out

    Gas me the hind
    Of your five legged snare
    Tooth picks the eye
    But nothing's there
    Down drags your waltz
    Cross the alter top
    From a sleep that
    Depravation knew
    Trespass your form
    I'm void of dusk
    I'd ask to look
    But the mask stays on
    You'll levitate
    Teutonic print
    Cruelty is the wrath
    Of my instrument

    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out

    You locked the cuffs
    Arsenic erupts
    Will you drink the shadow
    Of my red hair
    You and your false
    Witness to God
    You've one in the chamber
    But your finger got stuck
    Let slip the sound
    Of a cry for help
    But all was lost
    On the night you walked
    Palms speak through eyes
    Serve your memory lost
    I contaminate with insignias

    In the end they just gagged me
    To make him come out

    Glossolalia coats my skin
    Glycerin and turbulence
    Stuffed the voice inside of God
    Mirrors to the animals

    Wait till I get my hands on you
    I won't forget a face that left me
    Hey, ah-ah

    Just you wait
    Till I get my hands on you
    I can't, oh-oh
    You won't remember
    Oh, ah

    Unwrap my corpse
    And let it thaw
    In the eye of the needle
    I can't get out
    They'll check my wrist
    I'll faint a pulse
    I'm not the human
    You thought I was
    If you pet the night
    Sixth pentacle dice
    If you roll the seven
    St. Michael dies
    They'll be no ransom
    Don't shut my mouth
    I scald the answers
    You're afraid of Writer/s: Cedric Bixler, Omar Rodriguez

  • JTetragrammaton break down the words.
    Terra means 4
    Gramm means letters
    Atom means Sun god


    Look up Jordan maxwell he is an educator on subject such as this.
  • Marci from Easley, ScJust a clarification of the previous comment: The Tetragrammaton was not the name of just "a Hebrew god", but was and is the name of the God of the Bible, Yahweh or Jehovah, whichever way one pronounces it in modern-day language. This name is included in thousands of Hebrew proper names, including that of Jesus Christ, Yeshua or Jehoshua, or again, whatever pronunciation it is given in current language, including the name Jesus. These names mean "Jah (or Yah) is Salvation (or Has Saved"), showing that Jesus and his parents viewed this God as more than a tribal god.
