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

  1. So. Stoked.

  2. is it just me or is this music rip VERY right-panned?

  4. I can’t say I’m a Mastodon fan. But I did like the songs I heard off of “Crack the Skye” and this song was pretty cool. Might be a candidate for my monies. I don’t like the album cover though, despite the fact that the subject of the cover is an awesome piece of art. I would’ve liked another Paul Romano cover. The cover for “Blood Mountain” I think it’s called is way better than this in my opinion.
