Speak to me in many voices Make them all sound like one Let me see your sacred mysteries Reveal to me the unknown tongue Reveal to me the unknown tongue Then she took her father's razor And watched it cut into her palm She put her hand up to her mouth To taste the blood, so holy and warm She got up in the morning Put on her dress and patent leather shoes Ate her cereal and kissed her mother Caught the bus and went to school Speak to me in many voices Make them all sound like one Let me see your sacred mysteries Reveal to me the unknown tongue Reveal to me the unknown tongue ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Reveal to me'' ''Hahahahahahaha…'' ''Hahahahahaha…'' ''Hahahahaha…'' ''Hahahahahaha…'' ''Hahahaha…''</poem> == Trivia == TBA {{Songs}} [[Category:Songs]] [[Category:Cultösaurus Erectus]]
