Verse 1 (Lyrics start on 3rd repeat)
Cranial vault the mind's map paved by heart and soul's aim
Transfer of DNA forms the cerebral mainframe
(4th Repeat)
Just like a computer garbage in - garbage out
Subdural detour shuns the embrace of logic and reason
Shrouded in doubt    (0:37)

        Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery

        (Verse 2) Play Guitar part for Verse 1 2x
        Spiritual angiography illustrates the mind's sorry state
        Barnacle ridden psyche man's own demise to demonstrate
        Burrowing mole exposes the dry rot within
        Abundance of wormwood, euphomism for sin

        
        (Play Chorus)
        Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery
        By His Spirit the symptoms are starting to clear


Did not tab lead or ryhthm during lead, be my guest!

Repeat Intro (2:25)

Verse 3 (2:38) Play Guitar part for Verse 1 2x
Blind cavefish, inbred victim of ocular atrophy
Inky blackness everywhere, there's no reason to see
Wait is someone there? I can feel the heat
Limbs wax useless, help me, can't rise to my feet

(Play Chorus)
Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery
A shred of truth is illuminated by miner's light
Divine mental biopsy reveals you need psycho surgery
>From the first touch a faint pulse begins to appear
