Yeh I was thinking that as I was deciphering it. There's also a bit about a painting that's very prosaic, like it's part of a story and not the lyrics. Perhaps there's some kind of background story going on that relates to the letters and stuff in the artwork.
Well using the two deciphered texts I tried to put the lyrics together, though there still appears to be lines missing, maybe someone can figure them out. By the way, credit to liquidcow and heresiarch for the code, as well as everyone else busy playing detective.
1. Coil
She told me why
She told me lies
Always take care of this
I told her how
I've always stayed
Always waited for nothing
When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
And I can see you
Riding through the fields of sorrow
2. Heir Apparent
So many years to clean the slate
Endless despair within its wake
His touch soiling what used to be clean
His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams
No more
And again he rides in, it's September and he covets the gullible
Skeletal wish - hunter
A thousand lies, cast from the throne of secrecy
Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies
See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
The insect trust - believer
Your body a vehicle to
Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind
Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn
Invisible king - dying
Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow
A burden so great weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs
The swift solution crumbles beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece
Death in his eyes - waiting
Spiralling judgement, provoked in the rains
This futile test drowned in the levee of deception
In the year of his sovereign
Rid us of your judgement
Heir apparent
3. The Lotus Eater
The liquid is in your throat
One hopeless delight
The barren waste is your land
Your crops they were sown to die
The skin is a mirror
The eyes hollow with ignorance
Health runs from your lips
Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep
All those years caring for a liar
A benefit road that is winding higher
You're a moth too close to the fire
You are stuck in a route of confusion
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all
Fleeing your sorrows
Pushing your spirit away
Seeking the weakness of the psyche
A whisper from the heart of evil
Luring them all into despair
Presenting the goods of a saviour
And cries out
For the restless will also die
A selection culled from the damned, drawing a life-line of one
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower
Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
The language of a parting so clear and so true
Overheard us talking
4. Burden
I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
I sung a last goodbye
A broken rhyme I had underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in you
A sorrow in me
I saw a movement in their eyes
That said I no longer knew the way
I had given up the ghost
A passive mind submit to fear
And the wait for redemption at hand
Waiting to fail
Failing again
If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
You've taken more than we've received
And the ocean of sorrow is you
5. Porcelain Heart
I lost all I had
(That April day)
I turned to my friends
(Nothing to say)
I wrote down a name
(And read it twice)
I wallowed in shame
I said that I loved
(Eternal schemes)
I cling to my past
(Like childish dreams)
I promised to stay
(And held my breath)
I went far away
Icy roads beneath my feet
Led me through wastelands of deceit
Rest your head now don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
Kept inside our idle race
Rest your head now don't you cry
Don't ever ask the reason why
6. Hessian Peel
Will the children cry
When their mother dies
And in the autumn of their lives
Will they feel the same
Her longing for me coming down like hail
Why did you leave me
Come here inside
And tell me how
How in my final days
I'd find the rhyme
The light comes on the signal for us to act our lives
You wait beneath the white sheets and you wait forever
We all left you alone
Lock the children away from harm
They're no longer your reason why
You felt abandoned in a flock of friends
Singing praise for the dead
Awaited the face of the moon to ascend
And followed the sound in your head
7. Hex Omega
Two years in your heart
One moment of doubt
Two lives torn apart
One second from now
Held him in your arms
Your fever subsides
Always safe from harm
Kept demons inside
Still you always start running
Towards the light from the moon
We saw a mother cry
And left a space here

In Hessian Peel? "Tenderness" sounds correct to me but who knows, everyone's been WAY off on a lot of the lyrical interpretations that people have been posting.
One of the many mysteries still remaining...
Still not sure the first words of Heir Apparent, is it No More just repeated? The first growling in Lotus? The growling in lotus over the spacey riff at 3:10 as well as the mother/father part, it may be in the code but it wasn't too clear. There's one line of Porcelain missing about idols, and Hessian has a few question marks.

Is that the bit at the beginning of Heir Apparent?
There is a bit missing from Porcelain Heart also, after "Kept inside our idle race", although it's fairly clear what he's saying I think, I just can't remember.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Mike was saying in interviews that he was either going to not include the lyrics or code them just to piss people off.

You guys were off on some stuff, primarily in TLE:
