Mastodon - Crack The Skye Lyrics






[Scott Kelly:]
Blessed visionary cut me with your sun
The rivers ran in blood
Spark fueled to fire

[Brann Dailor:]
Deep within the endless void
Searching for a sign

[Kelly:]
The vessel forged inside me
Watches over
Like the death of the moon

[Dailor:]
Strike the shepherd, sheep will scatter
Mountains of despair

[Dailor:]
I can see the pain
It is written all over your face

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

[Dailor:]
Weight of worlds is on your shoulders
Hear the voice of gold

[Hook: Dailor]
I can see the pain
It's written all over your face

[Dailor:]
Desperate heathens flock to sirens
Guard your heartache well

[Kelly:]
Momma don't let them take her
Take her down

[Dailor:]
Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one
Her spirit's too strong

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

    Mastodon will always hold a special place in my heart because they are the band that got me into metal back when I was 4 years old (I am 14 now)

  10. M.... 7....

    This sounds like it should be a COD zombies music! It would be epic.

  11. G.... ....

    Kids, don't watch this on acid.

  12. S.... P....

    The worst track of the album .

    S.... P....

    That would go to quintessence.

    6. Crack The Skye

    [Feat. Scott Kelly]

    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
    It is 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
    Take her down

    Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one
    Her spirits too strong
    It's written all over your face
    I can see the pain
    You can make it all go away

    C.... M....

    sorry but there's a few mistakes in those lyrics

  17. M.... T....

    1:27 SEARCHING FOR A PIZZZZAAAAAAAA! ok lovely song. probably my favorite

  18. M.... C....

    Whoever disliked this really should explain why...

    M.... C....

    Michael Costello “I’m going to dislike this video just cuz.” Says that one person always. I have a feeling there is no reason. Some people just want to watch the world burn unfortunately.

    M.... C....

    People are drunk and get them mixed up. Or they're trolls.

  19. A.... G....

    Been on a live version would be the best experience IMO. Such a masterpiece!

  20. b.... ....

    Joe Rogan approves this album for DMT experience.

    b.... ....

    Who cares?
    I hope the Rogan-ites realize that there's more to life than what Joe talks about.

    b.... ....

    Where did he say this? I want to watch the clip.

  21. J.... M....

    I wish I got to see them on this tour. Caught on Once More Round The Sun which was still great. But this album just kills

    J.... M....

    They're playing this whole album on their next tour with Coheed and Cambria. GO BUY TICKETS NOW

  22. J.... H....

    To the person who disliked this video

    YOUR OPINION NO LONGER MATTERS

  23. s.... u....

    anyone else remember the webpage for the album .. it was like this but more.. super trippy

  24. Z.... ....

    probably my current favorite song... It's just so powerful!

  25. M.... ....

    Now that's a tasty burger 🗿

  26. J.... A....

    This song live is just brutal

  27. H.... ....

    Momma don't let them take her
    Don't let, them take her down
    At least alone

    Hearing this verse always brings emotions and a small tear to me, knowing the backstory for it.

    H.... ....

    what's?

    H.... ....

    Anyone know the backstory?

    H.... ....

    It’s about branns older sister committing suicide

    H.... ....

    @Jordan Mahony
    The name also derives from that story, his sister's name was Skye

  28. w.... w....

    This is my favorite Mastodon song in their entire catalog. The first song that comes to mind when I think of Mastodon. And this is my all time favorite album period. Any genre, any artist - nothing else comes close. I worship and revere this album. This is the holy grail - Mastodon's epic: Crack The Skye.

    w.... w....

    A-fucking-men. This album here is just perfection from start to finish. It is SOO well done. The riffs, the arrangements, the little bells and whistles added here and there, the meaning and story behind it. It's a masterpiece. Takes me to a whole new world every time I listen to it.

    w.... w....

    What's your opinion on Emperor Of Sand? I personally think it's on par with Crack The Skye.

  29. o.... t....

    My favorite album from the giant. Will be last forever!
