MASTODON LYRICS

1. Black Tongue


I burned out my eyes
I cut off my tongue
I sealed them with all of the silver
And now I have none

You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the...

You own the darkness
And taken my sight
You buried the stars underground
You've stolen the night

You can run to the sea
You can run to the forest
You can hide
But you'll never escape

You've run out of lies
You've run out of time

You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the sun


2. Curl Of The Burl


I killed a man 'cause he killed my goat
I put my hands around his throat
He tried to reason with the sky and the clouds
But it didn't matter, 'cause they can't hear a sound

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh

It's just the curl of the burl
It's just the curl of the burl
That's just the way of the world
It's just the curl of the burl

Splinters in my skin just like needles and pins
I cut through the pine, love the feeling it gives
Been out here for days, running through these streets
I'm using my hands, cutting through the disease

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh

It's just the curl of the burl
It's just the curl of the burl
That's just the way of the world
It's just the curl of the burl

I feed the powerless
Chew it up, spit the rest
I feed the powerless
Chew it up, spit the rest

It's just the curl of the burl
It's just the curl of the burl
That's just the way of the world
It's just the curl of the burl

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh


3. Blasteroid


Change your hair
Change your clothes
I’ll rearrange your face for you

If you can breathe
When I am through
I’ll give it all right back to you

I wanna drink some fucking blood
I wanna break some fucking ass
I wanna squeeze you 'til you’re inside out
I want it all

Change your name
Change your eyes
Become the one who I despise

If you are sad
And need to cry
Then turn around and go outside

I wanna drink some fucking blood
I wanna break some fucking ass
I wanna squeeze you 'til you’re inside out
I want it all


4. Stargasm


The temple of bodies
A building with souls
Given the cosmos
As we let go
As we let go

Locked in a dance
Surrounding the moon
This far from the clouds
Stargasm flows
Stargasm

Lead us by horses
On the way to our graves
Father the owl
It is your faith
It is your faith

Awake in the moment
Awaken the heart
Look to the spirits
Stargasm glows
Stargasm

And then we shift into overdrive
But you're not here
And your legs and the stars collide
You're on fire
You're on fire
You're on fire

Hanged from the solstice
Bohemian grove
Flesh lies the altar
As we let go
As we let go

Glasses are empty
The owl has flown
Sever relation
Like you didn't know
Like you didn't know

And then we shift into overdrive
But you're not here
And your legs and the stars collide
You're on fire
You're on fire
You're on fire


5. Octopus Has No Friends


To tempt the fool into the mine
Let loose the snake with antidote

Take the hand
Guide the way
Far away
Find the truth
Always / Always

I’m on my way back home
I’m on my way back home

I see your face inside the smoke
It’s hard to scream and nice to choke

Take the hand
Guide the way
Far away
Find the truth
Always / Always

I’m on my way back home
I’m on my way back home

Let’s rest awhile inside the cave
Don’t cry you’ll see that we’ll be safe

Take the hand
Guide the way
Far away
Find the truth
Always / Always

Take your heart into your hand
Always
Take your heart into your hand
Always

I’m on my way back home
I’m on my way back home


6. All The Heavy Lifting


Lift you up again
Give you to the trees
All sound and visions are
What they ask of me
Let’s run fast through the fields
Over mountaintops
Let’s swim through ocean water
And we’ll never stop

Just close your eyes
And pretend that everything’s fine
Just close your eyes
I’ll tell you when

Can you show me
Where to find the stream
I’ve been told before
That the water’s clean
Will you come with me
Two of us can drink
Move quick we’ve got to hurry
There’s no time to think

Just close your eyes
And pretend that everything’s fine
Just close your eyes
I’ll tell you when

We didn’t come this far
Just to turn around
We didn’t come this far
Just to run away

Just ahead
We will hear the sound
The sound that gives us
A brand new day

Just close your eyes
And pretend that everything’s fine
Just close your eyes
I’ll tell you when


7. The Hunter


All the love I’ve shown
Given to the ones I’ve known
All the love I make
Is equal to the love I take
All the life I’ve known
Given to the life I’ve shown
Along the way

Free from it all
Breathe in the darkest fall
We laugh and cry through a brother’s eyes for now

Through fire embers glow
Haunted I lift the stone
Letting go your spirit flies

All the love I've shown
Given to the ones I've known
All the love I make
Is equal to the love I take
Life is fleeting fast
Be careful for what you ask
Along the way

Free from it all
Breathe in the darkest fall
We laugh and cry through a brother’s eyes for now

Through fire embers glow
Haunted I lift the stone
Letting go your spirit flies

His thorns are on the road
His thorns are on the road

In the morning light
The sparrow flies
When the moon devours us
The planet dies

Free from it all
Breathe in the darkest fall
We laugh and cry through a brother’s eyes for now

Through fire embers glow
Haunted I lift the stone
Letting go your spirit flies


8. Dry Bone Valley


Head down running from the beast
Breakneck speed taking all my breath
Black feet scraped and scarred and dripping blood
Rain come down take me with your flood

I came to and I was running from you
Feel your breath on the back of my neck

Where have I come to be
Is this all that’s left for me

I wish that I was still there
I want to keep on breathing

Bulls roar loud
Snakes move past my feet
No teeth no hands set me free
Bones start rattling ‘round inside my head
I don’t know if I’m alive or dead

Where have I come to be
Is this all that’s left for me

I wish that I was still there
I want to keep on breathing

Dig deep kicking up rock and dirt and sand
Out of this lifeless valley bones in hand
Over these mountains to the seas of life
Leave this desert for the sick and damned


9. Thickening


With the lights down low
Wrapped up like a baby
And your hair hangs long
Surrounding my face

Straight out of nowhere
Buried deep inside my past
Straight out of nowhere
Hoping you’ll be the last

Love your warm embrace
Hold me close don’t let me go
Nipple pink and cold
Filled up with mother’s milk

Straight out of nowhere
Buried deep inside my past
Straight out of nowhere
Hoping you’ll be the last

With the lights down low
Wrapped up like a baby
And your hair hangs long
Surrounding my face

Straight out of nowhere
Buried deep inside my past
Straight out of nowhere
Hoping you’ll be the last


10. Creature Lives


I saw the creature fall
Into the swamp from which he spawned
I heard them laugh and say
They never liked him anyway

I tried to talk to them
To help you on your feet again
They laughed and said to me
The swamp is right where I should be

The creature lives
The creature lives
The creature lives
The creature lives


11. Spectrelight


We trip the light
Firebird flies
Burn your inside

Given a lesson
The path I’ve shown
Follow all I know

Into the spectrelight
Into the afterlife

It came from the ocean
Gift of the sea
Lava forms the stone

Belief in power
Believe the dream
Trust your own truth

Into the spectrelight
Into the afterlife

You listen through the light
Tolling on the sea
Barren eyes behind you
Leave the shadows waking dreams
Rising through the door
Writhing with a knife
Cut speech / Cut light / Cut chord
And break the dawning wretch of silence

Trust your own truth

Souls of the fallen
Death of the godhead
Listen and breathe

Into the spectrelight
Into the afterlife


12. Bedazzled Fingernails


Give and take
We are full of pride
All is proved in time

Lay me down
Stand my ground
Lay me down
Stand my ground

Taking a life
I see it flash before my eyes

Taking a life
I see it flash before my eyes

Rule by the head
Endure test of time
Plant the seed of mind

Lay me down
Stand my ground
Lay me down
Stand my ground

Taking a life
I see it flash before my eyes

Taking a life
I see it flash before my eyes


13. The Sparrow


Pursue happiness with diligence


14. The Ruiner


[iTunes Bonus Track]

You take life
Give nothing back
You need to return what you’ve stolen

You need life
To multiply
Devour all that surrounds you

Heavy weighs the crown
Low hangs the head who wears it

Destroyer
Of all that’s good
We don’t need a death that surrounds you

The bolt strikes
To infect
We know your intentions are impure

Heavy weighs the crown
Low hangs the head who wears it
Sickness can’t kill this love
Always alive in my heart
Sickness can’t kill this love
Always alive in my heart
Heavy weighs the crown
Low hangs the head who wears it


15. Deathbound


[iTunes Bonus Track]

Going through the deep icy waves
Thrown in end all because death waits
Throughout during the winter
Guardian of land and sea

Standing close to the throne
Violent 'cause I can not see

Power royalty our presidents hanging
No one left here anymore

Icy squall on the tundra
Obedience how we reign
Enjoy the sights we know
Soon it will be turned

Grovel life expelled become immortal
Forceful hand, unfeeling
Groaning dead are near
Sordid tale of man

Molten rock renown
Distant brother of man
Groaning dead are near
Sordid tale of man

[2x]
Icy squall on the tundra
Obedience how we reign
Enjoy the sights we know
Soon it will be turned
