| | Tetragrammaton Lyrics Artist(Band):Mars Volta
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 babe From a Christ that went hissing Constricting his cells We summon by candle by book and by bell Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and the turbulence stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals The sermon goes mourning, Pricking it's hail Slothful the child, That preys on the seed Shall behead the drought, 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 the turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals Then so long, Dear minemonic 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, say I'm the last one 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 your blasphemer guilts It only meant to drape a plastic Over the stuck pig scalp of head To cover the sock where to flatline had spread The kiosk in my temporal lobe Is shaped like Rasalyn 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 no things 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 falst, 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 cantaminate with insignias In the end they just gagged me To make him come out Glassolalia coats my skin Glycerin and the 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 Just you wait Till I get my hands on you I can't, You won't remember 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 scaled the answer, You're afraid of If you find some error in Tetragrammaton Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to dschaffer64@gmail.com for submitting the lyrics. Review about Tetragrammaton blasphemy/not blasphemy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/4/10 as previously stated, i have no doubt that these lyrics are intended to highlight misconceptions of modern religion. For instance "glossalia" (speaking in tongues) is "stuffing the voice into god" obviously they think these practises are ridiculous. however considering cedric doesn't believe, and that he has a lot of problems with the catholic church in particular, i think its pretty ridiculous to venture that these lyrics spread the joy and fear of god. haveanypoint? | Reviewer: musk | 8/23/09 i agree with everyone that liked this song and this band. I f.ing hate when people say "this is nothing compaqred toZappa""" is not the idea, asshole,. and if you care much to read, pleas dont. no one ask you for your crap. grate comments, genius sound like this. fuck everyone who dont like it. Sixth pentacle dice ; ) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/09 Tetragrammaton means Gods actual name. In hebrew it was made up of 4 consonants which was later translated as Jehovah in english. Which the catholic church is trying it's hardest to erase the name of God from all bibles. Cedric was, I think, trying to find meaning to the word and the actual catholic church. Read the last part of the lyrics where he says "if you pet the night, sixth pentacle dice, if you roll the seven, st. Michael dies." what I'm thinking that religion puts so many boundaries that instead of relieving you, it adds more stress. That's my take but only that part of the lyrics, whoever wants to take on the whole song, be my guest. blasphemy | Reviewer: j | 3/7/09 If its not blasphemy, then I don't want to listen to it. I don't think jesus would have this song on his ipod. i dont cedric came up with the lyrics while in mass.i hope embedded with it are blasphemous intentions. From Wikipedia: | Reviewer: Nick | 1/9/09 "It shouldn’t really be that important what the word is, so later I’ll try and fit words to the gibberish I did, because I think the gibberish is a lot more honest than the words - so I’m just trying to put clothes onto something that’s naked. It’s easier to just put clothes onto something that’s naked and just say ‘Yeah, that’s what I meant’, when everyone else seems to come up with a better interpretation than what I intended. And sometimes some of that gibberish is retained in the final product. " Don't forget... | Reviewer: J.H. | 11/9/08 ...all of the sexual metaphors in Cedric's lyrics... There are multiple stories here, all for those who have been tormented by abuses of religious authority. Don't forget to interpret his images in the context of how he repeats symbols throughout the different albums. Though this album is supposedly disconnected songs, Cedric carries certain images through every album. Weaves them through the songs. Their music is about memory. play close attention. | Reviewer: John | 10/26/08 no one is wrong, no one is right. this is art and you can interpret is however it suits you. whatever your argument you uphold for the song will only reflect who you are and what you consider important. you only do yourself a disservice in judging. if you want to gain more than some self-serving validation, try seeing how you can understand the song, rather than trying to fit it within some predetermined context. see how it makes sense for you and just like any other work of art, you'll benefit from it. otherwise, you're just wasting your time with sophomoric judgment calls. it's whatever you want it to be, so make the best of it if that's what you want for yourself. NOT BLASPHEMY! | Reviewer: Jeff Mathews | 12/15/07 Listen. This is not blasphemy in any way shape or form! Listen to the man studying Theology, for heaven's sake! If you would look on Wikipedia you would understand that this album was meant to praise God and spread fear of him! Like Fred said, the lyrics are allusions to scripture: "It is easier for a camel to pass through the 'eye of a needle' than for a rich man to enter Heaven." It you people wouldn't be so ignorant perhaps you'd get that. And to that "Armageddon" quote, no one knows when the coming of God will be. It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, or maybe even 100 years into the future! That just pisses me off. "TREND" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/5/07 its not another song in a "TREND to blaspheme God's name in as bold and wreckless a way as possible" The entire album is about how we are told only to fear God, and how the church uses that fear to manipulate us, but really we are supposed to love him and feel his love. Its not blasphemy | Reviewer: Fred Manning | 9/22/07 I study Theology and i have to do this all the time...studying the words written about religion! and i can tell you that in my opinion that it is not blasphemy at all! if you read closly you will see he is having a dig at the current perspective of religion how we are chasing "shadows" and the reference to "eye of a needle" comes from some of jesus words...that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle! again having a dig at the misconception of religion these days...please tell me if im wrong but i'm pretty sure thats what he was going for! Also its a pretty bad boy tune!!!
