Thru the ages
All the weary and the blind Facing the unknown Off the venom Center our lives Knowing not your own is unwise And I will return for more The light will lead you ashore Paralyzed by thorn inside To the angel Breathing on me from the right A guilt you'll never know From the devil Staring from the left hand side Souls to animal Recede your eyes Sulk in disgust When there is doubt look to the obvious And I'll decide what you will pay Changing your mind seals our fate Paralyzed by thorn inside Open your eyes Take a deep breath and return to life Wake up and fight Fight for the love and the burning light 02. The Motherload Music & lyrics by Mastodon
I can see what the world has done to you
I can feel the weight, feel the weight I can see what this life has handed you I can feel the weight, feel the weight This time, this time, things'll work out just fine We won't let you slip away This time this time things'll work out just fine We won't let you leave this way If you want you can will it, you can have it I can put it right there in your hands I can hear what the spirits are telling you I can clear the weight, clear the weight I can see all the wolves as they circle you I can crush the weight, crush the weight This time, this time, things'll work out just fine We won't let you slip away This time, this time things'll work out just fine We won't let you leave this way 03. High Road Music & lyrics by Mastodon
You let the wind take us down
You let the storm come and wipe us out I saw the fog snuff you out I saw the ocean come take you under I had my boot stuck in your mouth I had you screaming for your last breath I shoved them both deep inside Patiently waiting for deep devour You take the high road down I'll take the ground below you You are the one nobody likes You are the plague that was brought here by rats I'd like to hunt you, that's a fact Watching you fade out and never come back You take the high road down I'll take the ground below you 04. Once More 'Round The Sun Music & lyrics by Mastodon
I'm a man and that's who I am
and I'll tell you that to your face I'm from the clouds and I shine like the moon And I'm here to fuck up the place Make it last, make it count Make it one more round and I'll see you outside Heaven knows life can turn on a dime So let's enjoy our time They have got me hanging upside down again Once more 'round the sun we go again What's the meaning of this life that we leave when we're caught up in the race My heart is spinning like a merry-go-round and I want you to take a ride I know it's rough and I know that you are weary but it's nice once you step inside Roll me over and turn me around and let's make up on time They have got me hanging upside down again I just want to melt into the sun again Once more 'round the sun we go again They have got me hanging upside down again I just want to melt into the sun again They have got me hanging upside down again Once more 'round the sun we go again 05. Chimes At Midnight Music & lyrics by Mastodon
I saw the mountain crumble down
I saw colossus in flames I heard the ocean draining Nothing that I could ever tame Off with my head Come down the line I have the right to decide The brain is wide As is the sky Altered minds, they criticize Unrest within your flesh How can we stop this pollution Causing trouble you cannot fix Envy of others never makes me rich All my heroes They're all dead As I remain here in my head We have heard the chimes at midnight Into the void I go Will I ever see your face again Or will black be all I know Writhing inside Our hearts alive And the darkness here is grim Running from the surrounded Lead me deep into the canyon You put your guidance in the wrong hands Feet are grounded Given your best Now take your gold into silence You take a stand Bracing yourself For this cold is never ending We have heard the chimes at midnight Into the void I go Will I ever see your face again Or will black be all I know Writhing inside Our hearts alive 06. Asleep In The Deep Music & lyrics by Mastodon
The moment you walked in the room my friend
The demons, they all went away Be careful, they're only asleep for a while Pretending there's nothing to say Throw salt in all the corners here Make sure you watch him leave Build up the walls around this house And dig out the rot in the floor Block out the entrance with brick and stone And mortar that's made from coal Crawl into this hole I've made Transform these feelings of fear I'm on fire Say you'll remember her voice And I can't get you out of my mind Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears Loose lips have fallen on blind eyes An ocean of sorrow surrounds this home I hope that we make it to shore As time chips away at the fortress walls It seems that we weathered the storm The sun begins to show itself Revealing victory I'm on fire Say you'll remember her voice And I can't get you out of my mind 07. Feast Your Eyes Music & lyrics by Mastodon
You call for reason
It turns me inside out There's no direction No ebb and flow You call them rejects They're all I have The mills of life They will grind you down See the red All I know is See the red Watch it flowing I see a vision Chew it with my teeth Believe the dying And minds that read A change in season Your mind crawls black Turning neurotic A self-attack The beast is vicious Turns your pale face green And keep the search on for mystery You told a secret Confide into the trees Thinking you know a man's history Fall into pieces I swear we're done You stick with me and prevail as one 08. Aunt Lisa Music & lyrics by Mastodon
I don't see the fearsome fright
All I see is beauty shine Not much time to say goodnight I can hear you scream in the sky Nephew do you feel all right Always up in overdrive They would try to smother you Never let your feelings through Live out loud I'm sniffing your garden I'm sniffing your rose She's stuck in the middle You know how that goes They're crawling across now They'll give him some blow We'll do him a favor We'll give him some gold I remember your eyes came out I can see you run and shout Don't know where to place the blame You knew how to hide your pain We just want to see you alive Taught me how to speak my mind Release you in atmosphere It was just too small in here Live out load Hey ho, let's fucking go Hey ho, let's get up and rock n' roll 09. Ember City Music & lyrics by Mastodon
You walk with boundless grace
Think old thoughts from yesterday All being lost in the fire You wandered and lost the way Someone's always left behind When the door of life closes And you were slipping away What do I say to you And if I want you to stay What do I say to you This moment I take for you Think of all we didn't do All seeking answers from this Hope to come out alive Standing still my hands are tied Our eyes open up to the sky 10. Halloween Music & lyrics by Mastodon
Orange and black take me back to Halloween
I've given to the blind as you can see Gasoline runs thru my veins, so don't you mess with me I couldn't tame that beast with a handful of meat Just wait till my robe falls at my feet Cold and dilated like my memories Strange voices in my head, who could they be It's the master of disguise, and he's breaking me You will find spirits never rise Without warning Feel your fate as you come alive They're here to take you home Crashing through the walls You're the one I want to see Bent all up on a moon-soaked night Death is riding with me Dripping blood with hell froze at my feet Use a razor blade to cut some lines Because now I'm going to speed You will find spirits never rise Without warning Feel your fate as you come alive They're here to take you 11. Diamond In The Witch House Music by Mastodon Lyrics by Mastodon, Scott kelly
Wide is the line
Separates the rivers from the dirt All the while I wonder who's the one Within the one and only eye We all stood cut free Self-blinded to see through the veil Can you see there's a child Standing idle by us in this mess Who am I to cause this emptiness Willing the sea To cleanse my soul of all that've been To bring me free to this clarity Trouble rolls in As the tides, they twist and make the turn Pain subsides and sweeps across the earth again Willing the sea To cleanse my soul of all that I've been To bring me free to this clarity Within the one and only eye We all stood cut free Self-blinded to see through the veil I'm standing deep in these waters Bleeding free and bent to drag us onto the new visions Only loss fills my void Only the void connects me with these mountains of dust, blood and soil The stones born in the flames of truth Demand a sacrifice Don't just bleed us and leave us to ourselves We will return so deeply harmed, and we will shatter you |
