For example, in the song "Iceblink luck," the words "You're the march of
Jericho that will burn this whole madhouse down" are pretty clearly
understandable, especially if you're listening to the CD through a good
set of headphones.  :-)

I'd heard before that much of their music doesn't have actual lyrics,
only syllables put together in euphonic ways.  This sounds reasonable;
at least, I haven't been able to understand much in the way of English
words in their recordings.

On the other hand, though, some of their songs sound suspiciously like
singing in another language -- perhaps French (which I don't speak :-),
perhaps something else....  Who knows?
