Live At Brixton

Mastodon Live At Brixton Lyrics
1.Dry Bone Valley(Live At Brixton)

Head down running from the beast.
Break neck speeding, taken on my birth.
Black feet scrape the scarlet dripping blood
Rain come down, take me with your flood

I can't do it I was running from you.
Feel your breath on the back of my neck.
Where have I,
Come to be?
Is a song,
That's left for me.

I wish that I was still there.
I wanna keep on breathing.
Fools roll loud,
Snakes move past my feet.
O Jeez, thou have set me free.
Bones start rattling 'round inside my head.
I don't know if I'm alive or dead.

I can't do it I was running from you
Feel your breath on the back of my neck.
Where have I,
Come to be?
Is a song,
That's left for me.

I wish that I was still there.
I wanna keep on breathing.

Dig deep, kicking the bucket, turn and said
All this lifeless and impotent hell.
From these mountains to the seas of life.
Leave me standing b'for the sick and damned.


2.Black Tongue(Live At Brixton)

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 undergound
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


3.Crystal Skull(Live At Brixton)

Guide a truth
Prevail and ride
Into the black hole
Searching the crystal
Making the veins bleed
The source of consciousness
Alive
Crystalline resonance
Into the black hole
Searching the crystal
Making the veins bleed
A deep breath before the plunge
One million voices
Dispelling
A thousand faces
Disarming
Running through the darkness
Holding hearts in my eyes
Falling short of gauntlet
Covered in blood-sucking flies
The touch is cold
I tore a path screaming through wind and blood
I will it all
Burning deep in my skull


4.I Am Ahab(Live At Brixton)

There's magic in the water that attracts all men
Across hills and down streams
The turning of the tide
Outlook
Future bright
Selfish
Beauty shines
Light cloud rain drive on
13 years to this day red planet aligned
Into sight 60,000 years of light
Fascination with a mountain put to sea
Built to slay and conquer
All with teeth of beasts


5.Capillarian Crest(Live At Brixton)

Capillarian gone away
Capillarian gone away
It's a shattered wave
Cosmogenic cycles
Universal dreams
The unseen essence
Energies refreshed
12 years of silence
Frivolous to moments
Shake the hand of lightning
Capillarian carnate
Capillarian carnate
You don't have to go
Escaping from the long way
And leave us here all alone
Carve
Carve out your soul
Lay it on the altar
And leave us here all alone
This river is running violence
A way to catch our breath
Rising from the mercury
We will climb to bestow our trust
Take away the anchor
Amplify the mystery
Inhale the earth and wind
Map out the plans to our test


6.Colony Of Birchmen(Live At Brixton)

This forest is growing faster than I can tell
Cell structure eats away at a massive swell
Seems however I'm a victim of circumstance
Hunt for ogres and dwarves
Lion slicer
Run with death
Run with death
White faces coming closer with every step
Earth envelopes taking breath without happenstance
Carve my teeth out ripping through the sheep's head curse
Hunter gatherer
Ridden from the cave
Run with death
Run with death
Gone away
My heart's gone away
Take everything
My heart's gone away
Take it now
Run with death
Run with death
Gone away
My heart's gone away
Take everything
My heart's gone away
Take it now


7.Megalodon(Live At Brixton)

Myth or legend
Nymph tale washed ashore
Near the kraken sleepeth stirs coral and bone
Infinite city
No sexy sneer
Hideous creation
Human and animal
Banter songs of rudeness to be adhered
Not on rocks that glisten
Harps to listen
Comb hair
Tear right to pieces
Left to recess a watery grave
Sensing the blood of prey
Swimming in fear for life
Rolling over
Falling into jaws
Teeth that chatter
It distracts them all
The Fiji mermaid
She will let it know
Time is coming to feed and knaw


8.Thickening(Live At Brixton)

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


9.Blasteroid(Live At Brixton)

Change your hair
Change your clothes
I'll rearrange you 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 glass
I wanna squeeze you till 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 glass
I wanna squeeze you till you're inside out
I want it all


10.Sleeping Giant(Live At Brixton)

Earth has burst
Mountain flames
Moon beheld
Father snake
Mind control
Has left its nest
Shame on
Bulls roar loud
The fearless fall
Wooden vessel
Broken wings
Caught my killer
In my grave
Shame on


Eyes of grace
Kill again
Trapped in maze
Trembling fear
Head scorched brow
Perish the land
Shame on


A vast calm wilderness
The call to adventure comes
Lead and land atop this rock
Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill


11.Ghost Of Karelia(Live At Brixton)

Wrathful ones nine eyes gaze
Holding skulls
Filled and laced
With human blood

Shades of darkened skies
Emptiness
Twilight holding through
Offering

Life in zenith
Bulls blood shot eyes
Flattened portrait of the night sky

Feel crust hum
Facing the North
Vapor space

Between heaven and Earth
Wisdom and the knower
A planet collide
Divisible we fall

Hear dirt waves
Wading forth
Vapor space

How long has it been since we flew through the shadows
I have walked on many other planets

Sinister twin
Choking on fear
Bonded iron
Sink to the core


12.All The Heavy Lifting(Live At Brixton)

Lift you up again, give you to the trees
All sound and visions are
What they has to be
Let's move fast through the fields
Over mountain tops
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 to our first (hand?) 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


13.Spectrelight(Live At Brixton)

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


14.Curl Of The Burl(Live At Brixton)

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


15.Bedazzled Fingernails(Live At Brixton)

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 my 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


16.Circle Of Cysquatch(Live At Brixton)

Elephant spirits
Tower of ivory
Story of ancient deities
Seizure of the fleece
Protector of its place
Fly thru dreamscapes
Of valleys gullies and spires
Herd across suicidal slopes
Changeless moonshines
Circle cyclops image
A race of one-eyed beings
All feared and shunned
Rakshasa demon
Seizure of the fleece
Protector of its place
Eyes all around you
Enter the labyrinth
Visions of the hunted
Beware the birchmen
Incisors thought to be
Skulls of us
Our release


17.Guitar Solo(Live At Brixton)


18.Aqua Dementia(Live At Brixton)

An invitation to clairvoyance
It's hard to stand around and watch while they ignore us
She is dumped on
Used as an ashtray
At the expense of an organized association
I see the stones in the path we laid
It's a question of tomorrow
We like to breathe the ancient wind that we have followed
A perfect fire to burn the land
Before they knew it
The sun had falledn
Boiling the water where the hydra's crawling
The righteous go in blazing fury
And we cleanse the earth to bring it down
Bring it down
And God will watch it burn
Releasing souls
Within the wrath we wait
To be dirt again
There is a flame I lit
I upon high


19.Crack The Skye(Live At Brixton)

Blessed visionary cut me with your sun
The rivers ran in blood
Spark fueled to fire

Deep within this endless void
Searching for a sign

The vessel forged inside of me
Watches over
Like the death of the moon

Strike the shepherd
Sheep will scatter
Mountains of despair

I can see the pain
It's written all over your face

The screaming arrows tear through my soul
In the dawn your face is haunting
White ghostly dreams

Weight of worlds is on your shoulders
Hear the voice of gold

I can see the pain
It's written all over your face

Desperate heathens flock to sirens
Guard your heartache well

Momma don't let them take her!
Don't let them take her down!

Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one
Her spirits too strong

I can see the pain
It's written all over your face
I can see the pain
You can make it all go away


20.Where Strides The Behemoth(Live At Brixton)

condition tomorrow
with visions inlaid
the priest stands to our right
a princess is mine

the regress of some minds
further chase the prize
pretentious you follow
religion is mine

anger precedes my footsteps
haunting past comes into head
horizon seems so far away
this life close to end of days
kill and i will be damned
forgive and i will be free

unified eyesight
grow


21.Iron Tusk(Live At Brixton)

Straight line
Feel it burst liver and lung
Long and strong
'Til she spills her black blood
Center down
Vast the head body and tail
Shatter life
Physeter catodon
Culture vulture
Elephant graveyard
Culture vulture
Engage monster
Wreaking vengeance
Assault with all martial rage
Sail on


22.March Of The Fire Ants(Live At Brixton)

as passion encircles the daily storm
the heart bleeds and droughts do not

bone grave
bone engraved
stone grave
stone engraved

bone grave
bone engraved
stone grave
stone engraved


all circles created with intention
an ocean turns yellow
it soothes the eye

bone grave
bone engraved
stone grave
stone engraved

bone grave
bone engraved
stone grave
stone engraved


23.Blood And Thunder(Live At Brixton)

I think that someone is trying to kill me
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind
No man of the flesh could ever stop me
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death

White whale - holy grail

What remorseless emperor commands me
I no longer govern my soul
I am completely immersed in darkness
As I turn my body away from the sun

White whale - holy grail

Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail

This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye

White whale - holy grail

White whale - holy grail


24.Creature Lives(Live At Brixton)

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 (4x)
