Mastodon - Sleeping Giant Lyrics






Earth has burst
Mountain flames
Moon beheld
Father snake
Mind control
Has left its nest
Shame on
Bulls roar loud
The fearless fall
Wooden vessel
Broken wings
Caught my killer
In my grave
Shame on
Eyes of grace
Kill again
Trapped in maze
Trembling fear
Head scorched brow
Perish the land
Shame on
A vast calm wilderness
The call to adventure comes
Lead and land atop this rock
Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill

    Metal for cloud-smoking mountaintop Monks.

  7. U.... ....

    Found this band this year, guess its newer to late too discover good music. Love this, The Czar and Colony Of Birchmen. And The Last Baron is just perfect. Lots of good music heading my way for sure.

  8. J.... B....

    One of the coolest songs ever

  9. C.... G....

    Here after getting the Sleeping Giant smg from Borderlands 3

  10. S.... R....

    Their music makes me wanna smoke a bowl and take a trip up to the mountains !!

  11. H.... ....

    Still one of my favorite songs ever!

  12. E.... J....

    Amazing and Epic !

  13. t.... b....

  14. C.... P....

    Borderlands 3 anyone?

  15. T.... ....

    so calming

  16. J.... K....

    A little bit of Wasted Years influence on that opening

  17. S.... C....

    Who else thinks of spaceships when they listen to this?

    S.... C....

    Steven Criscione same, I specifically think of Metroid when I hear the whole tone stuff in this song.

    S.... C....

    That's my favorite series!!! Super Metroid

  18. S.... C....

    This song is Harvest Moon Worthy!

  19. S.... C....

    The end feels like a spaceship

  20. a.... v....

    just perfect, the combination of psychedelic rock with metal blows your mind

  21. D.... ....

    saw them at Toads place in CT when this came out. will never forget it.

  22. S.... ....

    This is a beautiful display of a organized chaos. If I could paint this song, the world it would show. I feel sometimes the world needs to breathe, and this is how it's done. Bands like this are here for a reason, moving populations, inspiring, and more. The ripple effect of this band should be quite different from anything we have seen before, yet again. Another chapter, another wave crashing. What to see is what's to be and so on with life as we know it. Have fun, be young and listen to Mastodon .

  23. L.... L....

    Caught my killer
    In my graaaaave!

    Love that dam part!

  24. D.... J....

    Progcore?

  25. M.... G....

    Get stoned and ride out to this

  26. T.... H....

    This song makes you feel like something evil is going on. Love it.

  27. M.... G....

    Mastodon golden era after crack the skye dont like much

  28. d.... ....

    One of the tunes on Guitar Hero 3 that made me fall in love with metal.

    d.... ....

    drum909 Wait, it’s not on the original Guitar Hero 3, is it? Is it on the shop? I don’t mean to doubt you, I just wanna know because I would love to play this song on there.

    d.... ....

    @CorpseGrinder156 It was a free downloadable song if I remember correctly.

  29. J.... G....

    Caught my killer, in my GRRRAAAAAAAVE

  30. N.... L....

    Thee letters. FAV

  31. J.... G....

    Good stuff. I'll keep listening.

  32. E.... ....

    This song got a legendary gun reference in borderlands 3!

    E.... ....

    Eli Nice, which trailer is the gun shown in?

    E.... ....

    @CorpseGrinder156 https://youtu.be/Ii2dve_OTJM?t=650 Its only up for a little bit but its something I immediately picked up on because the tooltip is "Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill"

  33. n.... ....

    This is the best drum solo with music I have ever heard.

  34. O.... i....

    Took me months to get this song down on guitar.  Such a fucking jam.  So fun to play.

  35. A.... G....

    How Serendipitous! I just came here from Opeth too! 😂

    See you at Tool 👍

  36. T.... ....

    in my opinion, this is their best song ever, as much as I love the hunter, tread lightly, and roots remain.

  37. D.... L....

    4:20 always reminds me of Mike Patton

  38. K.... O....

    THE CALL TO ADVENTURE COMES

  39. M.... C....

    That snare is like a punch in the soul, gives fucking chill

  40. M.... K....

    The first half of this song is absolutely amazing, but I really cant understand why they decided to shit it after 3:56.

  41. M.... N....

    Mastodon is the sort of band that doesn't get the respect it deserves. King Crismon is what is Progressive as Mastodon is what is quite beautiful metal.

  42. T.... ....

    Who in the hell dislikes a Mastodon song?

  43. A.... A....

    I’m pretty sure Nimrod had this playing a good portion of the time the Tower of Babel was being constructed.

  44. H.... ....

    This is so my jam.

  45. R.... V....

    What a MASTERPIECE!!

  46. m.... s....

    who dislikes this? weird. short-attention-span goofs. this is a masterpiece!

  47. L.... L....

    I loved this on GH!

  48. S.... S....

    Love this.

  49. B.... B....

    It's a great song until he starts "singing". Vocals is holding Mastodon back, in my opinion.

  50. B.... ....

    the truely best song i have ever heard in my life, fucking amazing, mastardon fan for ever

  51. T.... ....

    This song is fucking tremendous it goes through like 5 phases

  52. M.... W....

    Perhaps if Black Label Society was good, they could sound like this?

    M.... W....

    Holy shit GHAHA Nice one

  53. C.... R....

    Damn this is straight demonic

  54. S.... M....

    This song opened my mind up to so much other musical possibilities is was like heaven that i just got lost in.but forreal this whole album just is landmark
    Inspiration to me ..brings me back to when i was young and great times.loved when people talked shit on this cd...cause it would only just make me jam full blast and pissing everyone off...lol..they all like jamming rap that talks shit and nigga this and bitches and hoes that..not real music at all

  55. e.... f....

    Accept is to much better than mastodon and the best of all legendaries banda of metal and rock are the rolling stones deep purple dio especial y of the thrash and heavy metal doubtless obviously than judas priest the metal gods the creators Black sabbath but judas priest iron Maiden and scorpions improved it megadeth testament slayer anthrax Saxon etc

  56. �.... ....

    アメリカからこんなに色彩豊かな詩情豊かなバンドが出てくるとは本当に意外

  57. B.... B....

    "Earth and Space ..
    Mountain Race.. "

  58. j.... ....

    Super baked right now and had the realisation that I finally get mastodon. wow

  59. K.... G....

    Mastodon top 5

  60. T.... ....

    One of the best Mastodon songs

  61. e.... ....

    It's a hard one to choose, but if someone put a gun to my head I think I'd say this is their best album for me. I love where they'd been before, and where they've been since. I'll just have to echo some of the other comments here, we have to appreciate any band which keeps on evolving. Which Mastodon do, and they hit far more often than they miss.

    Really important band in the metal world, perhaps a case study of modern metal in their own right. Certainly prog metal, and even more-so given their more sludgy roots. Every album is a fresh piece of art, and you can see how they've grown as the musicians and artists they are.

  62. B.... ....

    Who Dey

  63. S.... F....

    I am a man and I have squirted listening to this song

  64. C.... H....

    A masterpiece!

  65. J.... H....

    Saw them play this song live last week, so powerful.

  66. K.... W....

    It's almost like Metalica and Ozzy had a kid together. Sounds like Ozzy, long rocking intros like Metalica....its crazy.

  67. F.... M....

    amazing masterpiece

  68. J.... B....

    Anybody else like me who thinks Blood Mountain is their best album by far?

  69. �.... �....

    The ad before this video was a tostitos commercial with jean claude van damme and im so confused

  70. R.... ....

    Has anyone gone to a karaoke bar and sang any mastodon song?

  71. E.... D....

    Mastodon is amazing. All their music is a work of art. Paints a wondrous and mystical picture, a new world if you will, with those melodies. Mastodon has transcended past the rest.

  72. P.... S....

    I do not know why but this piece always reminds me of "The Ring" movie and Samara Morgan. Mastodon masterpiece!

  73. m.... c....

    epicness.

  74. G.... K....

    FUKK OFF YA LITTLE MAN

  75. T.... I....

    Its sad sence,,,,, r.i.p

  76. K.... T....

    The drums to this song are so damn good!!!

  77. A.... A....

    Graças a Deus o Mastodon é sensacional.

  78. A.... A....

    Esse som é esplêndido.

  79. C.... E....

    One of the best Mastodon songs there is. The atmosphere this song sets is on another level from what music is nowadays. I agree with commenter below 1:09 is genius and emotional

  80. H.... ....

    that fucking space delay

  81. M.... K....

    That´s true metal. I love it γαμω το Χριστο μου

  82. C.... D....

    Love the riff at 1:09

  83. T.... C....

    This song reminds me of humans in their most primitive state out raw in the wild world enduring all the harsh elements.

  84. S.... C....

    Master Piece.

  85. S.... Y....

    THEIR DRUMMER IS UNREAL.

  86. R.... ....

    0:50 from 1:09 ... just amazing

  87. S.... G....

    Just sooo orgasmic. Pure beauty.

  88. B.... M....

    For some reason this song plays faster on vinyl at least on the one I bought. Still fucking awesome.

  89. G.... R....

    lol I love this song my dad got me into this when i was five im thirteen now

  90. T.... J....

    Outro sucks but the rest of this song is super tight!

  91. H.... a....

    Easily one of the best songs from Blood Mountain.

    EDIT - The best song from Blood Mountain, hands down. The riff at 1:09 is like the best thing ever.

  92. d.... ....

    If Wagner wrote metal, this is what he would've composed.

  93. S.... O....

    3:42 assholes bow

  94. b.... y....

    keep away... addictive!
