Cerpin Taxt is the name of the ill-fated protagonist in the story that the album centers on. The album follows him overdosing on poison and being placed in a nightmarish and vivid coma, and upon awakening to real life, decides to commit suicide by jumping off of a highway overpass.
This song is about him "taking the veil" or passing on, which, judging by the last lyrics, is most likely to a purgatory-like state.

Cerpin taxt was an old friend of theirs that was a drug addict an alcoholic that they did not care about.then blamed it on a later guitar member who Cedric did not like.But he never likes anyone so who cares.Cerpain taxt made them money.If they cared they wouldn't talk shit before he died.
