Chimes at Midnight Lyrics
9 ContributorsChimes at Midnight LyricsI 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 inside my
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?
Writhng 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?
Writhng inside
Our hearts alive
Asleep in the Deep Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brann Dailor]
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
[Bridge: Brann Dailor]
Throw salt in all the corners here
Make sure you watch him leave
[Verse 2: Brann Dailor]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1: Brann Dailor]
Crawl into this hole I've made
Transform these feelings of fear
[Chorus: Brent Hinds, Troy Sanders, Brent Hinds & Brann Dailor]
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
[Bridge: Troy Sanders]
Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears
Loose lips have fallen on blind eyes
[Verse 3: Brann Dailor]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2: Brann Dailor]
The sun begins to show itself
Revealing victory
[Chorus: Brent Hinds, Troy Sanders, Brent Hinds & Brann Dailor]
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
[Bridge: Troy Sanders]
Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears
Loose lips have fallen on blind eyes
[Chorus: Brent Hinds, Troy Sanders, Brent Hinds & Brann Dailor]
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
I'm on fire
Say you'll remember her voice
And I can't get you out of my mind
Feast Your Eyes Lyrics
7 ContributorsFeast Your Eyes LyricsYou call for reasons
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
See the red
All I know is
See the red
Watch it flow
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
See the red
All I know is
See the red
Watch it flowing
Fall into pieces I swear we're done
You stick with me and prevail as one
Fall into pieces I swear we're done
You stick with me and prevail as one
Diamond in the Witch House Lyrics
15 ContributorsDiamond in the Witch House LyricsThe final track on Once More ‘Round the Sun, Mastodon’s sixth studio album.
Lead vocals are by Scott Kelly, from Neurosis, who has sung on every album since 2004’s Leviathan.(Troy Sanders)
Wide is the line
Separates the rivers from the dirt
All the while I wonder who's the one
(Scott Kelly)
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
(Troy Sanders)
Can you see there's a child
Standing idle by us in this mess
Who am I to cause this emptiness
(Scott Kelly)
Willing the sea
To cleanse my soul of all I've been
To bring me free to this clarity
Clarity
(Troy Sanders)
Trouble rolls in
As the tides, they twist and make the turn
Pain subsides and sweeps across the earth again
(Scott Kelly)
Willing the sea
To cleanse my soul of all that I've been
To bring me free to this clarity
Clarity
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
I'm standing deep in these waters
Bleeding free and bent to drag us onto new visions
Only loss fills my void
Only loss fills my void
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
