Lyrics:
rise
shining blank
scars burn way down.
it parts ways of the
serpent view. cast
stones where to stop
calling you. they all
lower me to the ground.
stick him. they all
lower me to the soil.
stick him.
star. reign down
on you.
you'll starve.
bright star in the
dripping sun
writhe on. saints
steal from your actions.
step in right on its
function. stick him.
star. reign down
on you.
you all lower me
christs shine blinds
your world.
your belief is scars.
the will to power.
ascension manifest.
that which is above.
is as that which is below.
that which is below
is as that which is above.
thy will be done.
thy kingdom come.
on earth as in heaven
so mote it be.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official NEUROSIS tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
