Mars Volta Askepios

I?ll be there waiting

With a hook in your neck

Is the contact you?ve made

Deficient

And your hand will break

If you touch this fence

Please them till they?re

Blind with cleft lens

What have you brought for my appetite?

I?ll never perish

With the albino horns

Of a thousand young born

Will you drink from the depths of my sea?

And your hand will break

If you touch this fence

Please them till they?re

Blind with cleft lens

What have you brought for my appetite?



I might not make it back again

The vervain is on the rise

Got to open wide

You got to open wide

Might of a serpent

Swallowing tail

Cycle recycled

And I?m next to nothing

Help me come alive

Place your ring finger

On this debt

Am I living or am I dead?

Do what thou wilt

Tell them what I?ve found

The steps of a ladder

From a diamondback mouth

Help me come alive

I aint gonna hold my breath
[ Askepios Lyrics ]
