Mastodon - Chimes At Midnight Lyrics






I saw the mountain crumble down
I saw colossus in flames.
I heard the ocean draining
Nothing that I could ever tame.

Off with my head, come down the line
I have the right to decide.
I'll bring this light, as is the sky
Altered minds they criticize.

Unrest within your flesh
How can we stop this pollution?

Altering trouble, you cannot fix
Envy of others never makes me rich.
All my heroes, they're all dead
As I remain here inside my

We have heard the chimes at midnight.
Into the void I go.
Will I ever see your face again
Or will black be all I know

Arriving inside
Our hearts alive

And the darkness here is grim
But it found us, surrounded.
Lead me deep into the canyon
You put your guidance in the wrong hands.

Feet ungrounded, giving your best
Now take your gold into silence.
You take a stand, bracing yourself
For this cold is never ending.

We have heard the chimes at midnight.
Into the void I go.
Will I ever see your face again
Or will black be all I know

Arriving inside
Our hearts alive

Mastodon Chimes At Midnight Comments
  1. J.... T....

    Artists have to progress & evolve, which makes people angry. Then critics & listeners are angry when they don’t (AC DC comes to mind). They had to change their sound, I think it’s more efficient & streamline. It’s a compromise between being heavy, intellectual, & accessible.

  2. V.... M....

    Grabe ang sounds MIDNIGHT CHIME talaga.

  3. S.... E....

    The opening riffs have sent me out space

  4. O.... G....

    Que buenos!!!

  5. T.... T....

    Like with many Mastodon albums, this was no different. It took multiple listening of it songs to find that something that make you fall in love with it. And the fact that every once and a while you find something, some part in the song that you missed before and it gets even better. There are very few musicians that make such wonders, guys from Mastodon are one such people. Keep it up, we love your work!

  6. G.... T....

    This band can't produce bad music. It made a song about space sex. Nothing can outweigh them for me

  7. L.... C....

    Tô com muita tesao ouvindo isso 😂

  8. A.... S....

    holy shit !!!!

  9. v.... ....

    All my heroes... They're ALL DEAD. I remain here inside my....

    Will I ever see your face again
    Or will blank be all I know
    Arriving inside
    Ire hurts a life
    And the darkness here is grim
    But it found us, surrounded
    Lead me deep into the canyon

  13. k.... ....

    this is probably one of the greatest songs ever made

  14. N.... S....

    Theres a difference between old and new mastodon? never noticed.

  15. M.... A....

    Dont support Stadia buy physical copies of your games 🤘🏾

  16. M.... G....

    Stupid headphones wont go loud enough!

  22. m.... g....

    Mastodon Please do an album of the Great White Megalodon.

  23. v.... p....

    The nocturne of metal...

  24. P.... J....

    Best band ever.

  25. B.... M....

    'Envy of others, never made me rich'
    ...all of my heroes are NOT dead.
    Thank you Mastodon, High on Fire, The Atlanta metal scene, and metal in general.

  26. K.... K....

    Soy hispanohablante y me encanta esta cancion :3

  27. e.... e....

    ...you see here people, one of few things that mankind and the super natural have successfully collaborated on that actually worked.

  28. N.... Y....

    All genres have Awesome and crappy bands and songs, so stop labeling good shit like this and just enjoy. Go label some garbage.

  29. N.... C....

    I love mastodon but I love glass casket too.🤘😈 this song rocks.

  30. N.... Q....

    My cocks harder then this soft ass crap

  31. m.... ....

    I miss them having animals on their covers

  32. t.... S....

    A pure and perfect peace of Art! We are listening real masters!

  33. S.... ....

    You dislike this? I dislike you.

  34. C.... A....

    Troy vocals are great in this song, phenomenal guitar work also

  35. H.... H....

    I hate mastodon fans, ignorant cunts don't see how well put together all their stuff is. Not a single album they've ever made was mediocre at all

  36. K.... ....

    All comments are invalid. This album

  37. T.... ....

    3:38 "Finalmente"

  38. A.... S....

    Got a King Diamond vibe at the opening riff. Killer track !

  39. T.... C....

    MASTODON RULES! GREAT BAND! GREAT MUSICIANS! GREAT SONGS!

  40. J.... ....

    Writhing inside
    Ire hurts a life 😌🤘🏻🖤🎼🎵🎸

  41. o.... a....

    This tune emerge good energy!

  42. C.... B....

    This song is so brutally beautifully insain.

  43. C.... B....

    Pop... Mastodon... should never be used in the same sentence and those who speak both in one sentence should have their ear drums removed.

  44. D.... M....

    Who else thinks the art work at 2:20 looks like a mastodon?? They did it on purpose in my drunk and high as fuck state of mind

  45. H.... ....

    guitar riff is a killer

  46. W.... G....

    Every album has been awesome in a different way. They're an unstoppable force of tasty licks.

  47. I.... D....

    Beautiful song... Mythical Mastodon.

  48. K.... ....

    1:09 i think this will give me nightmares...

  49. V.... ....

    hard to think this is the same band that made oblivion

  50. s.... ....

    it's a more straight forward mastodon I like all versions of mastodon from poppy to complex to straight forward they know how to do it all

  51. A.... L....

    This is a hard song to play on guitar, 0:31 has a really weird fingering pattern that can easily fool your brain

    A.... L....

    Alvir Latt maybe they use a delay-effect for this riff....

    A.... L....

    HerrTelef
    Actually, Alvir is right. I've seen them play this song live and they were using a weird hammer-on technique where they pick the notes on one string but hammer-on another string right after. Took me a while but I finally managed to master it myself

    A.... L....

    Pundit07 ok, I will check this out in next week

  52. L.... ....

    i like the new mastodon, it has a brutal to mellow style, then an aspect of modern society

  53. E.... A....

    mastadon the metal equivalent of phish

  54. M.... P....

    Was absolutely locked in during this song at the Cleveland show  a few weeks ago.  As soon as that first note hit, what an experience.

  55. A.... D....

    way too trippy thought I was on acid for a minute

  56. 0.... ....

    theyre funny to hate and secretly listen to

  57. J.... t....

    Favourite album 9.8/10

  58. j.... ....

    A W E S O M E

  59. v.... ....

    Sometimes I have to work until midnight and whenever I get off then I blast this on my way home

  60. I.... ....

    Not gonna lie, love the song and mastodon, but Brent can sound like shit some times. It's made up by troys badassery on this one.

    I.... ....

    live their vocals are notoriously bad, but getting better. but as a band, seeing them live, the energy is top level.

  61. v.... k....

    wish the whole song was like first 30 seconds, Mastodon really creates deep sounds, unfortunately only good parts can be found from beginning..oh yeah and ending.

    v.... k....

    keke salminen your opinion is wrong

  62. S.... G....

    props to whoever made these vids

  63. S.... S....

    Psilocybin

  64. j.... ....

    love to music ... but I've seen more trippy shit in a Disney movie

  65. R.... ....

    These riffs, these melodies, these voice tones. Howwwww
    Love it. xD

  66. B.... P....

    Mastodon sucks

  67. M.... ....

    My favorite fucking band ever

  68. L.... O....

    When I listen this song, my eyebrows become even lower than my eyes. I love this song cause it is so apocalyptic!!!

  69. P.... ....

    Why is there not a music video for this? :(

    P.... ....

    It's too awesome for video

    P.... ....

    +RisingMist This kind of is.

    P.... ....

    Because Mastodon really appreciates their psychedelics & meant for this song to be enjoyed this way.
    & it works.

  70. D.... ....

    This band... Is TOO good. WAAAAAAAAAY TOO GOOD...

  71. D.... ....

    3:37 love the guitar, the bass, the drums
    4:25 du din du din, this heavy riff is so cool

  72. J.... L....

    Brilliant.

  73. M.... ....

    how come this song isn't much much more popular? it is bothering me.

    M.... ....

    This should've been the single imo

    M.... ....

    couldnt agree more - best on the album for me

  74. J.... B....

    amazing song

  75. E.... ....

    still good album but leviathan is better

  76. T.... T....

    I don't understand the draw of the cover of this album,it's like kinda Chinese dragon? can someone explain me?

    T.... T....

    +Tony Thrash The green, leafy monster represents life, while the rotten, malformed monster represents death.

    T.... T....

    +Himmelslaub thanx

    T.... T....

    Tony Thrash to me it's just some weed influenced awesomnes.

    T.... T....

    Himmelslaub this look more old ones its great

    K.... ....

    sweet! i went to knotfest too 👍 also seen them with dethklok fuckin awesome both times

  82. C.... ....

    This intro and the end of the song... ♥ A masterpiece! Reminds me of some song from Avenged Sevenfold I can't remember.

    C.... ....

    Im upset I read that

    C.... ....

    @poppabearification That sad. I don't fault you have no idea of instrumental.

  83. N.... S....

    This whole album fucking murders. If you dont think so you are wrong

    N.... S....

    Ja, man. It murders the last remains of what was once a good band. >:^)

    N.... S....

    +Michael Roland Peel hahaha i dont agree at all, but you did make me laugh. What did you think about the last álbum? pop shit?

  84. G.... B....

    I watched this on acid once, it was a weird experience xD

  85. J.... C....

    Don´t talk about bullshit, mastodon is always the same guys making music... they only envolve and progress . apreciate all albuns, mixture with your moments, select ,feel and enjoy . this is not new or old Mastodon it is evolution . <3  From Portugal with Love - good music live forever

    J.... C....

    Joao Carvao Tuga Power.
    Bons gostos musicais!!!!

  86. B.... S....

    This album owns...one of thier best and certainly better then then subpar previous Hunter album. Love this song btw.

  87. J.... D....

    This album has elements of all their best work combined. It is raw and it is clean and harmonious... it is by far their best work and the peak of their sound at this point, anybody talk shit is fucking silly. They have made a brand in this genre and own a sound unique in its entirety.

  88. u.... ....

    When your mind is clear it is possible to be completely fulfilled by your present. Our minds are often clouded by things we cant accept or pleasurable things we obsess over. This is the root cause of much of the suffering that humans experience. The way to clear your mind is to know how life works. The truth of life is being revealed NOW. Google T̲̅H̲̅E̲̅ ̲̅T̲̅R̲̅U̲̅T̲̅H̲̅ ̲̅C̲̅O̲̅N̲̅T̲̅E̲̅S̲̅T̲̅ and check out "The Present" for the best current explanation of the universe as it relates to conscious life.

    u.... ....

    @understandLife98 are you fucking kidding me? it's all spiritual bullshit pretending to be science and critical reasoning. e.g. "consciousness cannot be created or destroyed" what the fuck is that supposed to mean? do the have a research paper to back that up? I could ask those two questions about most of it.Why bother with a "truth contest" open to "all ideas" anyway if some group of college students is going to censor what they deem "unworthy". what is there criteria for the truth?and another thing, it makes the criticism about people blindly following the truth, but that is what people are going to do when reading that article, they want people to blindly accept their version of the truth.

    u.... ....

    +jay masters Your comment actually proves his point. Instead of living th moment, you wasted two minutes of your life writing something unimportant, filled with hatred and contempt.

    u.... ....

    +allxtar music Regular internet bullshit discussion tbh

    u.... ....

    +understandLife98 What is true for one person is not nessaserially true for another. Also in my opinion there is no present and if it is, it is for such a small fraction of a second it cannot be calculated because the future is constantly forming what you know and see.

  89. R.... E....

    Like a song Spectrelight!

  90. M.... B....

    So this is what an LSD trip is like

  91. D.... V....

    fuck yes

  92. G.... 8....

    i like the tune of this song really fucking good job guys

  93. S.... ....

    You can't genre this.

    Shut the fuck up. IT'S MASTADON.

    S.... ....

    Some of us just don't feel the need to categorize something as enigmatic and free as music

    S.... ....

    @SmellsLikeNothing Everything fits somewhere. Being ignorant about genres doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    S.... ....

    @Ali Bassam Regardless, Mastadon has a unique sound even in their respective genre. What would you say it is? Prog metal? It's still very different than say Tool or Dream Theater. Even they have their unique sounds.

    S.... ....

    @SmellsLikeNothing Ok fair enough, but Gojira is progressive too.

    S.... ....

    Doom metal... Now shut up, both of you.

  94. M.... N....

    Best song of the new album. Top 10 Mastodon song for me. Just amazing.

  95. N.... V....

    Am I the only one who visualizes playing Shadow of the Colossus with this song? I'd love to see an AMV mashup with scenes from that game to it. If well done, I bet it would be amazing.

  96. J.... H....

    Thank you for y'alls wonderful music that makes my day

  97. M.... D....

    I'm
    So glad I'm not on schrooms
    Right now, this would
    Freak me the fuck out

  98. M.... ....

    The best piece of music of 2014 IMO !

  99. b.... ....

    Kickin Ass!
