Day Of The Baphomets Lyrics
Sawing off the pavement repenting their past lives might i be the only payment left to be left behind clay and pigment footsteps rust it boiling clean our bull let in linguistics that only we can breathe
i gotta prayer that’ll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers raise your entrails as an offer
fondling with pitchforks in a cattle prodded sea signaling the sedatives to emaciate their queen bowing in constriction anytime you leave we snuffed ourselves an angel and cut her by the wings
i gotta prayer that’ll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers raise your entrails as an offer
in my sight i was born to bring death at the footsteps of your home tonight i have sewn all the hair and crooked nails that you all have worn while your wife sits at home i plant the vermin because she needs it so
how long must we fold by hand the nuns are burning wheels again dent of mattress to make it bare come clean with the anecdote after all we came undone pale of sluts with host at fault one day we won’t pay your debt our centipedes will get theirs yet
poachers in your home poachers in your home
how long must we fold by hand the nuns are burning wheels again dent of mattress to make it bare come clean with the anecdote after all we came undone pale of sluts with host at fault one day we won’t pay your debt our centipedes will get theirs yet
fold the river by the lips as a cruel and smothered wind fits the gash with ornaments dawn is nodding off again raised the braille to read it clear gathered by the cholera rinse the burns in cauldrons help the palm we see a lens my hands secrete a monument my hands secrete a monument
i am the reason four your missing child they might be home but there’s no trace under your pillow i have left a spine oh the things we do when you’re away i saw the message that you wrote in the sand dismembered hints that carve away the anesthetic of your gospel said put a muzzle on the lamb
give me one page give me one page make it blank mace that i leak will rain give me one page give me one page make it blank race i inflict your way
maybe one day you’ll stop and realize the throne that you serve is dead
give me a plague give me a plague make it blank nothing you own is safe

It doesn't seem all that satanic to me. Rather it seems as is about the contamination of the river Ganges. Allow me to reiterate:
Signaling the sedative"], a holy site where Sita was supposed to have lived for a period during the Vanaprastha, and site of much of the Indian savagery during the Civil War of 1857. Despie all of this thousand upon thousands of hindus gather at the ganges to worship, give the river offerings of flowers or food, throwing handfulls of grain or garlands of marigolds and such["While your white sense of hope']. many drink the water to help het pure (see the irony yet), many even bathe in this water. The 'poachers in your house' are these factories and plant whom have appeared and desacrated what these people consider sacred. "I saw the message That you wrote in the sand" is refering to the remenants of corpses and dead fish beeched out on the bank of the river.
NOTE: This is my interpitation of the song. It may not necerally be what this song is about. So I am open to CONSTRUCTIVE critisism.
i believe that the line "beneath some poachers" is actually "beaneath sepulchers"
it makes more sense with the song as sepulchers (but i could be wrong)
the lyrics are so horribly bad ! sorry i got the album the other day and nearly cried cause i was so excited i love the mars volta, i read that the album is about imigrant marches and about reglion and one song cedric was quoted as saying was about a nun who was killed because she believed a higher voice was talking to her (dnt bag me i cant really remember)... or something like that and i believe maybe could be this song, there is mention of nuns the line, the nuns are burning wheels again ... yeah otherwise the musical arrangement within this is wonderful, so originial and reminds me of old pyschedelic rock!
whoever said it is not "poachers in your home" but "poach us anyhow" is wrong. It IS poachers in your home...
Cedric sings the song with caps lock on.

I don't exactly know how people got the idea this song is about immigrant marches... Cedric and Omar both stated that this album is about religion. It's harder to interpret the meaning of songs on Amputechture because the album isn't set up in a story format. However, I do have some personal interpretations of verses in this song. "How long must we fold by hand? The nuns are burning wheels again." It sounds like Cedric is saying that religion is hindering the progress of our society, the wheel is often used as a symbol of invention. Nuns burning it would be saying that religion or Christianity in particular is trying to stop humanity from advancing. That's just my personal opinion on it...
Ok maybe looking at the revised lyrics it says Pigment, and not Pygmy, but STILL... Also, does anyone notice fragments of the bass solo in Cassandra Gemini?
I really don't think this has any ideas on christianity and how it is "shit". Well I think it is more of just a story of spirituality and how it's hard to stay on the right path. Obviously it's a satanic ritual. Baphomet is usually a satan or satan-like demon. The Baphomet Sigil is the symbol of satanism. I think this is the turning point in the CD where the character ventures down a darker road, thus the musical tone changes to a very scary tone. It's very different from the rest of the CD. So maybe if this is a story I think it is advocating everything spiritual besides Satan.
um bass solo.
yes please
small detail it's "raise your entrails as an offer" not "an offering"
