King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Crumbling Castle Lyrics
Meet me glassy eyed, blind, and divine
Under a void on the ghost land
The castle is a pimple on the face of the world
The embers burned for ghouls to tread if you’d please try
Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle
Inching closer each century, crumbling castle
Are we safe in our citadel?
Look upon our condition, crumbling castle
You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle
We pray for the death, that does not come, crumbling castle
Dug all of our holes in God's Acre, crumbling castle
We have even said our last rites, crumbling castle
Look upon our condition, crumbling castle
We head to our extinction, crumbling castle
The sounds of the constant lightning
Would be enough to block out the
Fall of the end of the world if that were
[?] crumble down
In the wind I sway, back and forth
I'm brittle as an aged human being
When my walls are safe from world weather
The build forms into great nastiness
Polygondwanaland
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
I don't want to fall into dust
I don't want nothing but to live on
The ache inside my keep spurs me on
I don't want to be visible
Polygondwanaland
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
On this very day, in one thousand
Years the earth will be relative to the
Sun and the moon and a new world will be
Created, I know because it is written here
I see through the bricks to the sea, crumbling castle
Inching closer each century, crumbling castle
Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle
Are we safe in our citadel?
Look upon our condition, crumbling castle
You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle

Cheryl is THICC oh my goodness
The problem with this, their use of Turkish and Persian sounds is about cultural appropriation. It's our music but it only reaches a global level when it is refined and performed by a white band. That's what bugs me.
They did that for 1 album and 3-4 more songs... ? They have 14 others without it.
<3 i love it.
Might be my most watched video on yt.
These guys' parents clearly rocked them to sleep with Astronomy Domine every night in their childhoods :D
the way these guys are able to just get all this energy out and transform it into these crazy sounds still gets to me and ive been a fan of them for years. they work so well together! they guys are true "alchemists" if you catch my drift
Gizzard Gold.
No hay nadie q escriba en Castellano x aca viejo...!!!???
No sé como llegué aca pero m gusto la banda asi q m voy a buscar alguno d sus álbumes y m lo voy a descargar.
Saludos a todos y vamo BOOOOOOCA...!!! 💙😜💙🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Their music is very picturesque, great band
@1:22 I thought Ambrose was just shaking those maracas really fast didn’t know he had two lol
Really getting in on that mic. Upper lip locked on that puppy to keep the exact audio level the entire performance. Good call.
You would not believe where I'm from
An Amazing song , keep do it this way
Superbug would be great on a Live on KEXP
They have too many frets.....
Those drum rolls tho
I don't wanna beeeeee
Oh my, so this is what Jack Black and Kyle Gass played for the shiny demon in the middle of the road.
Headcanon accepted
I was imagining this when I walked back to my PC and then wanted to mention something about this feeling and then you say it.
Stole this comment for my own Facebook page! This is soooo right!
What's this a reference to? Am I dumb?
@Lieutenant Dan You don't know Tenacious D? Boy, are you in for a new discovery! It's in reference to their song "Tribute".
that's why I like the manual transmission
They played this at the Paramount and it was sick.
Went and saw their show the other day! Sweatiest nastiest mosh pit I’ve ever been in. I took armpits to the mouth, shoulders to the jaw and elbows to the temple and it was fuckin awesome
Tight as hell live performance
3:24 SHOW ME THE DRUMS, SILLY EDITOR MAN
Because nobody really owns polygondwanaland, does that mean that KGLW are technically doing a cover of their own song?
This is the best band ever.
this song brings so many tears to my eyes, thank u so much Gizz
Is the name a Jim Morrison refference?
from what i've heard. some of the band wanted the bands name to be Gizzard Gizzard. Some wanted it to be Lizard king in reference to Jim. then they just mixed the two
@Luke Gates Gizzard Gizzard lmao
İ hear turkish sound
whoever mixed this did so with headphones on so you should watch as such
Collin DeRossette you can thank Stu Mackenzie
Btw you realise he’s the singer right? Haha
wrob yeah I’m fully aware of that. Haha I didn’t think he was just some random guy who works for kexp
Oh alright.
That chord on the third "crumbling" at 6:04 is the reason I am alive.
This band is new messiah. Thank you Gizz for bringing epic music in a world gone mad.
The Strokes are my favorite band of the 2000's. I think KGLZW is now my favorite band of this decade, maybe competing with Royal Blood
SABBATH WORSHIP
Good lordy I haven't loved a band this much in quite some time...
this is totally absurd
Damn 🔥
31 people think Trump is a stable genius .......
Who else gets oddly emotional when listening to this song? It’s so powerful yet so melodic, and it reminds me of the ephemeral state of humanity and civilization.
I don't think its odd at all, otherwise yes, me too
That feeling is art
I hope these guys are around for a long, long time.
Why does this make me want to check out a Renaissance fair?
Tell me again why you need two drummers
I genuinely can't believe this band is real
tronco e banda nojoda
insane as always
Phenomenal band but mvp in this performance is the mixer guy
Stu mixed the session :)))
Solomon Angom the lead singer (named Stu) is the one who mixed it
Stu is a one man wrecking crew of a musician! Dude has too much talent
Ryan Gosling plays a red guitar 😄
absolutely insane. what's the polyrhythm at 4:05? 5 against 4?
Reversed82 i guess it is :) try counting 1 2 3 1 2 it seems to work so you are right
Pretty sure its 5 against 6
The same scale in all his songs the same ... boring
This is just precious. WHAT A BAND!
How not to love Cheryl when she dances like this to King Gizzard? 2:37
<3
How do they get the bass to sound like that... BOOM ba da banda BOOM ba da banda BOOM. What is happening with the boom bit, anyone with knowledge, please bestow it upon me. Or maybe it’s just a note, but when I play the record it just digs into the deepest nooks and crannies of my soul.
Could be that it's the root note and that it's being played on the lowest string giving it that BOOM you're talking about
Could just be that. Check their kexp version of the wheel which has that same fat bass sound, so I’m now thinking some sort of pedal effect.
Breathtaking performance! Absolutely stunned by the ease with which they're pulling off this complex stuff here.
Feel the same way,but check out xtc
My least favorite part was at 8:41
S
T
U
<3
Stu’s vocals during this session were extraordinarily good
stu's voice in this foreshadowed the brutality of planet b
impossible à écouter à jeun
aku cinta kalian
1:07 smooth
Mindblowing
Ambrose out here in he gotdam bare feet
One day I'll rape their audio engineer.
Can't help it.
Crumblin, crumblin , crumbulin car site. ;D
Everything I love about Early King Crimson, Yes, Jethro Tull and Gentle Giant in this melodic fusion of the best of those prog styles and more. Really Great.
This is definitely on the top of my listen list for months and beyond. Thank you for making this music.
Martin Starr on drums.
Man they're killing it live. I'm much more into these live sessions
funkin awesome..folks these are truly great artists...king crimson...gentle giant..love the drummer with glasses ..he always looks spell bound..the other one seems more in control but they both do a great job complimenting each other..love how the singer rests his upper lip on the mike..contact..zappa would be proud of youse guys
No matter how they look while performing, both drummers are in absolute control of their doing during this session.
When these guys played this at desert daze 18 my mind melted. Absolutely insane band
Nooo, where's the end!
Great, this is stuck in my head again now. Thanks KEXP.
how they can fucking sound so fcking good fuck
kinggggghghhgggggg
holy shit you guys need to convey this aura on your albums. You guys are soooooooo much more impressive live. Covey it on the albums. don't let the jews calm it down... your live versions are 10x better
unbelievable! i cant even describe how happy i am after hearing this.
fuck yeah!
Dude that last bit fucking jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaams
ive seen them live twice in portugal in a festival called VODAFONE PAREDES DE COURA! the best KG concerts ever!
Eddie Izzard and the King Gizzards Lizard Wizard
In a blizzard
It's about machine learning, Trump's future, honor, strength, and nobility
whoa, where did the last 8 or 9 minutes go? what. a. band.
Fkn epic 👍🤘
i hate king giz cause they’ve got an album for every mood. because of this, i haven’t listened to another artist in over a month...why they gotta be so damn good :,))
@Solid Mental Grace tf Mind Fuzz makes me really happy.
Same, but make it 4 months
@Eric Lindberg i see the world differently
i am the honeybee
they started everything
band and my phone convene
Noah Karimee That’s exactly what it is!
The best part is when someone asks me what album have I enjoyed the most I can’t even name them all!
I still can't break out of Nonagon infinity. Its been like 6 weeks now.
King Gizzard is one of the few bands that is way better live than on record.
Followed by zep
Going to go see them tonight with a couple other Aussie rock n roll bands. Thanks for keeping the hype extra high for me!
@lameemo They rocked Toronto the 25th. The best live band I've ever heard. The venue was a big help but damn they sounded penominal.
They are so fucking good live
I'd say they're one of the few bands that crushes both! TOOL would be proud of what they bring to the stage
I swear, most of the views have to be from me alone.
when I'm in class bored as hell I'll just think of awesome music and play songs like this in my head (i'm not insane though)
triple like !
BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!
i love this band more than i love myself
Ambrose can crumble my castle any day ;3
Heyy!! These guys are playing my song that I own!!
These guys are the best, sound so good live
Uhm, ok, gonna check why the studio version is 10 minutes long, the must’ve omitted something in this one.
Awesome. Im had wait years, long years, for something like this to appear.
