THE MARS VOLTA
"The Widow"
He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shardes
They're the kind that will talk
Through a weezing of coughs
And I hear him every night
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Must I hide?
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
Look at how they flock to him
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Such to die for
And I hear him every night
On every street
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from…
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
Oh lord
Said I'm bloodshot for sure
Pale runs the ghost
Swollen on the shore
Everynight in every pore
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from…
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let me die
Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
Though they may not be Christian lyrics, Omar is a lyrical genius

Since I have no life, and since I'm a total music freak, I looked up that song on their myspace, but I couldn't understand a word he was singing. I didn't really dig it. The lyrics are cool though.
Listen to Shiny Toy Guns, Jonezetta, MuteMath, and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
well, his vocal range is amazing itself, but what more amazing is the complexity of their music, its not generic...
That's the beauty of indie.
