"Crack The Skye" Lyrics:
Blessed visionary cut me with your sun
The rivers ran in blood
Spark fueled to fire

Deep withing the endless void
Searching for a sign
The vessel forged inside me
Watches over like the death
Of the moon

Strike the shepherd
Sheep will scatter
Mountains of despair
I can see the pain
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
Written all over your face

Desperate heathens flock to sirens
Guard your heartache well
Momma don't let them take her
Don't let him 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

That first growl.....oh my god.....

[RevolverKat]

Major props to Troy, doing growly type vocals and then switching to clean vocals is no easy feat.

@ggarhhh I'm a opeth fan but I get u when you mention to use of too much acoustic parts but still opeth and mastodon kicks ass!!!

[ggarhhh]

yeah, but opeth fill their songs with useless semi-acoustic parts often boring too, played very good indeed, but nothing to do with mastodon

[BxT4POUTxP]

@MythHunter666 Fuck yeah dude! Cynic is one of my favorite bands. That part in this song totally reminded me of them the first time i heard it too. Mastodon Rocks!

[banblock]

do you have a link for thosse interviews ?

[MrJayCudmore]

I can't wait for the next record if you listen to interviews with Brent you know he really wants to get more progressive.

I can't wait for it! :3

[s0alutes]

This song is so sad. It's about Brann Dailor (the drummer's) sister's suicide. Listen to the lyrics, watch Brann, it's so moving.

4 Beasts!

@RevolverKat you should look up a band called opeth. he does deeper growls and light singing and switches within seconds of them with no downside to either vocals probably the best singer atm who does that
