Precious Stones Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brent Hinds]
I hope the sun shows the way
Don't crush my spirit today
Reveal your precious stones
So I can help myself
[Chorus: Brann Dailor & Troy Sanders]
Don't waste your time
Don't let it slip away from you
Don't waste your time
If it's the last thing that you do
[Verse 2: Brent Hinds]
I dig through bone and skull
Imagine black emerald
I'm covered head to toe
With diamonds in the rough
[Chorus: Brann Dailor & Troy Sanders]
Don't waste your time
Don't let it slip away from you
Don't waste your time
If it's the last thing that you do
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Brent Hinds]
These snakes have nothing to say
I want their heads right away
I sharpen every blade
And I give them all to you
Yeah, I give them all to you
You're in my head
You're in my head again
Steambreather Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brann Dailor]
Running outside the Nazca Lines
You know I see you all in white
Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines
And the rain to give us life
[Solo: Brent Hinds]
[Verse 2: Brann Dailor]
Violence born within my mind
I know it always takes its time
Climbing inside the cosmic eye
And forgive the enemy
[Chorus: Brann Dailor & Troy Sanders]
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
[Verse 3: Brann Dailor]
Watching you crumble to the ground
Made me want to run away
Helping you find the golden crown
Made it easier to stay
[Chorus: Brann Dailor & Troy Sanders]
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
[Bridge: Brent Hinds]
At the bottom of the mountain
Unaware of my surroundings
Separation from my spirit
Let the trees fall where they may
[Chorus: Brann Dailor & Troy Sanders]
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
Roots Remain Lyrics
[Verse 1: Troy Sanders]
And the sky opened up and it swallowed us whole
All that's left is time and healing underground
Underneath us the cosmic dawn of war begins
We resolve and watch as it all crumbles down
[Chorus: Brann Dailor]
Beauty fades
Deaths decay
Fires on high
Reach the sky
Branches break
Roots remain
Strong in mind
Beauty
[Verse 2: Troy Sanders]
Your adventure is dark and it hides beyond the cells
All I feel alive, the hearts will prevail
The stolen eye was found and given to the lost soul
While the moon sets far and the milestones seem low
[Chorus: Brann Dailor]
Beauty fades
Deaths decay
Fires on high
Reach the sky
Branches break
Roots remain
Strong in mind
Beauty
[Bridge]
And all that I have come to lose
Gone so long it doesn't matter anyway
And all that I have come to gain
Will remain with me until the bitter end
And when you sit and picture me
Remember sitting in the sun and dancing in the rain
The end is not the end, you see
It's just the recognition of a memory
[Outro]
The eyes
The face
The lips
The tongue
The end
The end
[Guitar Solo]
Jaguar God Lyrics
[Intro: Brent Hinds]
I ain't no good
And I live by the wood
They say I ain't bad
I'm the best they have had
And I know it ain't right
But I'll fight my whole life
Just to prove that I was right
The day it went down
I was out on my path
Not feeling so bad
I'm a suspect now
I'm a vagabond tramp
Living out on the lam
I live by the woods
They say I ain't bad
I'm the best that I've had
And I know it ain't right
But I'll fight my whole life
Just to prove that I was right
[Verse 1: Brann Dailor]
Terrestrial fire ascending from underground
Godspeed divine
So we control the mound
Shape shifter, spirits whisper
Guide me through this black sorcery
Flashing teeth
Aggressive tendencies
Cloaked beneath
Silver redeems
Smoking mirrors
Black obsidian
Tell us where to find the marrow
[Chorus: Troy Sanders]
The prophecy
Will be realized
Lord of the near and the nigh
Possessor of earth and sky
[Verse 2: Brann Dailor]
Guard your temple
From destruction
Make sure no one goes inside
[Chorus: Troy Sanders]
The prophecy
Will be realized
Lord of the near and the nigh
Possessor of earth and sky
[Refrain: Troy Sanders]
It's right in front of me
The throne of maladies
It's right in front of me
Your malignancy
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain: Troy Sanders]
It's right in front of me
The throne of maladies
It's right in front of me
Your malignancy
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain: Troy Sanders]
It's right in front of me
The throne of maladies
It's right in front of me
Your malignancy
