Unknown Tongue Lyrics - Blue Oyster Cult

There was no light shining through the window 

As margaret lie in bed 

She was wearing cotton pajamas 

A crucifix above her head 

She awoke from a dream 

Her eyes were open 

Her lips were moving 

In the dark 

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 

She put her hands upon her breasts 

And they were small and hard and young 

And everywhere she touched she felt a fire 

Waiting for the answer that must surely come 

Is this the way to love? 

Or is this just the way to die? 

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
