Mastodon - The Last Baron Lyrics






I'd guess they would say we could set this world ablaze

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

It is hard to see
Through all the haze at the top of the trees
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

Faltering footsteps
Dead end path
All that I need is this wise mans staff
Encased in crystal he leads the way
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

I guess they would say we can set the world ablaze
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around

Take my black soul
Arrive in the fires that burn my skin
Guide my eyes all through this maze
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze

All that I have seen
Standing on the edge
The foot of precipice
Floating in the sea
Past the king of swords
Quickly to the shore
The last baron
The last baron

Ghost of man surrounds me in my slumber
I have no fear as your wing is my shelter

Cyanide he craves
Coursing through his veins
Providing him with strength
To see this to the end
Afraid of psychic eyes
Faith in mystic power
The last baron
The last baron

Will he save me?
Will he save me?

I was standing staring at the world
And I can't see it
I was standing staring at the world
And I can't see it

I was standing staring at the world
And I still can't see it
I was standing staring at the world
And I still can't see it

I was standing staring at the world
And I still can't see it
I was standing staring at the world
And I still can't see it

All that I have seen
Standing on the edge
The foot of precipice
Floating in the sea
Past the king of swords
Quickly to the shore
The last baron
The last baron

Ghost of man surrounds me in my slumber
I have no fear as your wing is my shelter

Cyanide he craves
Coursing through his veins
Providing him with strength
To see this to the end
Afraid of psychic eyes
Faith in mystic power
The last baron
The last baron

Will he save me?
Will he save me?

I guess they would say we can set the world ablaze
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around

It is hard to see
Through all the haze at the top of the trees
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

Faltering footsteps
Dead end path
All that I need is this wise mans staff
Encased in crystal he leads the way
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze

Mastodon The Last Baron Comments
  1. G.... P....

    2019 anyone??

  2. J.... A....

    Masterpiece.

  3. B.... R....

    Just heard this song for the first time!!!! I got worked up into such a tizzy I went outside and threw apples at the neighbours special needs kid.

  4. M.... 7....

    Holy mother riff at 8:18

  5. D.... ....

    Every older guy from Spain is going to hear at 7:30: "Lola Flores...Lola Flores!!"

  6. D.... S....

    This album is just amazing

  7. T.... ....

    This song is my argument for why emperor of sand is a let down, whenever anyone says otherwise it's just "yeah but have you heard Last Baron? Why give up the ambient melodic genius for some overly cleanly produced grunge type songs?"

  8. P.... ....

    The singers reminds me of Zakk wylde and Ozzy osbourne

  9. C.... ....

    I have thousands of songs on my ipod classic that shuffle 24/7 through my soundDock.
    On exactly 3 occasions - this song has rocked up just as I was going to bed.
    Me: "Sorry, sleep. You'll have to wait another 13 minutes".

  10. C.... M....

    Sounds like Ozzy Osbourne.

  11. O.... G....

    This song makes me wanna play Witcher 3 again...

  12. A.... M....

    Only here for the glockenspiel

  13. R.... J....

    2:18, please kill me...

  14. R.... G....

    i know i love this song danced to song by mastadon 10 years back

  15. 5.... 0....

    my computer cant go loud enough

  16. P.... H....

    LOLA'S BARREL
    LOLA'S BARREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL

  17. K.... ....

    Fuck I love this album, I use to get so fucking high listening to this album all the way through only to replay it again, this would go on all day and for weeks at a time. people would complain because every time they came over i was once again playing this album, and if anyone asked to change song they got met with an unstoppable force. FUCK YEAH MASTODON!

  18. v.... ....

    This entire album sounds like a spirit leaving a body.

  19. r.... Y....

    Best metal epic since when????

  20. K.... V....

    ☭ Communist Seal of Approval ☭

  21. L.... M....

    Awesome band.

  22. R.... T....

    OK DEE BOSS THATS A BIT HEAVY FOR ME BUT I KNOW MY HUSBAND WOULD DIG IT

  23. R.... T....

    This sounds like ozzy osbourne no lie.

  24. H.... M....

    I have everything they've ever done. This is their high water mark.

  25. a.... ....

    Devastatingly beautiful... I gotta get to hear these guys live.

  26. R.... J....

    Es imposible que seres humanos hayan compuesto algo así..., no tengo duda alguna de que son extraterrestres que habitan en alguna galaxia desconocida. Jamás escuché algo tan absolutamente perfecto.

  27. B.... Y....

    Mmm.








    Sounds like shit.

  28. C.... A....

    So good

  29. J.... W....

    "Pancakes and crystal, he leads the way."
    Now unhear that.

  30. R.... ....

    FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK WHAT A GROOOOVE 8:18

  31. J.... M....

    Α Ρ Ι Σ Τ Ο Υ Ρ Γ Η Μ Α.

  32. S.... C....

    Best shit I’ve ever heard,never gets old

  33. r.... a....

    How do you write a song like this without selling your soul to the devil?

  34. B.... S....

    Trying to get into this band for ages. After a lot of listening finally i get why people love them so much. I think mastodon is overated back then and i was totally wrong. Mastodon is journey, glad i can understand them now.

  35. B.... J....

    The greatest song ever.

  36. M.... ....

    One of the best metal songs ever made.

  37. B.... T....

    2:18 & 10:58 MINDBLOWN...just bloody epic!!

  38. A.... A....

    Best song I've ever heard, written by the greatest band. Mastodon for life.

  39. h.... ....

    "transparent! transpareent!" at 04:13

  40. G.... ....

    0:08 - Skeletor, The Last Baron.

  41. M.... ....

    5:57-6:20 King Crimson had entered the studio

    M.... ....

    I hear rush?

    M.... ....

    Kyle I hear a mix between 21st Century Schizoid Man and YYZ

    M.... ....

    @Ben Postle exactly

  42. z.... ....

    I try to get to my gym early so I can put this album on. whenever the riff at 8:19 comes on everyone starts going apeshit into the workout, it's purely animalistic and it's awesome.

    z.... ....

    zaal08 wow great sheer wild motivation

  43. T.... ....

    6:00 sounds exactly like Rush.

  44. T.... P....

    I don't understand the lyrics

  45. M.... H....

    THIS IS MUSIC!!!! Beauty, power, provocation, intelligence, heartfelt, amazing...

  46. R.... D....

    mastodon created a new metal genre: epic metal (lml multiplight by a 1000)

  47. G.... R....

    forget shrooms this is all you need

  48. G.... R....

    threat signal, mastodon, overkill, and testament would be the best concert ever

  49. D.... C....

    Thank God there are still bands putting out such gems like this.

  50. D.... C....

    No words. ...💙

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

    "Please, please take my hand
    Please take my soul to rest
    So we can always be around"... Fucking awesome.

  52. G.... ....

    Lately I am addicted to this tune... I HAVE to play it every morning when I get up..... the start is so fucking epic!

  53. M.... M....

    So much love for this song.

  54. M.... B....

    Shit is pretty fuckin sweet

  55. c.... M....

    I don't know why but somehow this song and in general Mastodon fits in my mind so much with One Piece...

  56. H.... K....

    I want aliens to listen to this the first time they come to earth..

  57. L.... B....

    ¡¡¡¡AWESOME!!!!

  58. M.... K....

    FFS, this is the peak of human possibilities in making music. for me Crack the Skye is definition of beauty and magic.

    M.... K....

    Mikołaj Karpińczuk The Peak? Lots of more complex music out there. Give The Parallax Pt.2 by Between The Buried and Me a listen. It will blow your mind. Especially when you research a break down of the story the album tells

    M.... K....

    @Life In The Other Lane BTBAM is garbage, no where near Mastodon

  59. A.... r....

    headbang!!!!!!

  60. A.... ....

    A monument of music.

  61. o.... a....

    TsarPutin hopefully gets his Rasputin.

    o.... a....

    Ops.. This was ment for the Czar..

  62. s.... N....

    Back in '84, Iron Maiden released Powerslave and the last song is a 13-minute epic (Rime of the Ancient Mariner) that eclipses the rest of the album. Fast forward to 2009 and Mastodon releases Crack the Skye where the last song is again a 13-minute epic that tops the album. Lightning CAN strike twice.

  63. m.... t....

    Art rock.

  64. K.... W....

    Gen Xs best band hands down.

  65. T.... A....

    Ok , i'm a HUGE fan of Tool , this band build my life, perfect band on earth for me etc... But ! .. because there is a but ! the riff at 8.19 is the most beautiful thing i have ever hear in my god damn life... i can't found the word to describ that. A pure jewelry. Thanks Mastondon

    T.... A....

    I started my Prog journey with Pink Floyd (all time favorite band). Also Faith No More, who I consider more Prog than Nu Metal as many classify them. Tool (second favorite) was my bridge to modern Prog. Opening my mind for bands like Meshugga, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Karnivool, Jinjer and others. And Mastodon is now another of my top 5 favorite bands. Thanks Pink Floyd, Faith No More, Tool, and Mastodon for keeping my taste in music always on the edge of the envelope.

  66. T.... ....

    I am in love with that solo in the end. It's like a crying banshee so damn epic!

  67. F.... T....

    Im seeing these guys, Chon, and Eagles of Death Metal in Memphis May 10th! Im so pumped \m/

  68. M.... ....

    The best ending to an album ever!

  69. m.... ....

    When I cook my rice I play this song,when the song is over the rice is ready..

    m.... ....

    Please, please take my rice, Please send my buds to rest, So we can always be supplied!

    m.... ....

  78. G.... M....

    6:00 - yyz

    G.... M....

    Grant Mayberry true

  79. D.... D....

    WE CAN SET THIS WORLD ABLAAAAAAAAAAAZZZE!

  80. z.... b....

    better than Tool

    z.... b....

    Nah man,they're better than Tool.

    z.... b....

    Tool transended metal, this is still metal.

    z.... b....

    Apples and oranges, why do people need to compare everything?

    z.... b....

    They opened for TOOL when I went to see them in 2006. They're both top bands and I think it's unfair to compare the two.

    z.... b....

    no need to compare bro, we all know justin beiber is life@Dakota Fawson

  81. T.... H....

    Watch as the world is falling all around. Whats left is set it all ablaze :(

  82. E.... Z....

    8:19
    Eargasm.

  83. C.... S....

    This band live, leaves so much to be desired. Instrumentally, they are totally on point, but vocally (especially when preforming their really early stuff) is almost cringe worthy. I still love their albums though.

    C.... S....

    Chad Smiley I hear you. They're one of my favourite bands but they're definitely hit or miss live. If they can't do it live then they shouldn't do it on the album. Maiden record their albums live in the studio. That's why they sound the same at a gig.

  84. P.... P....

    Come on, one more comment!

  85. A.... S....

    This shit makes me want to board a long boat and discover north america.

  86. C.... N....

    Meshuggah, Mastodon, and Tosin Abasi are (in my opinion) the only true avant-garde metalists. Great band great song

  87. C.... K....

    This is soooo Huey Lewis and the News

  88. T.... D....

    Damn this song kicks fuckin ass. Could be right out of 1975 rock era.

  89. B.... D....

    I saw them play this live on another video and they nailed it! that is talent. their drummer has marathon endurance coupled with a+ timing, it's rare to find a group of guys who are as good as they sound on their album!

    B.... D....

    Try Between The Buried And Me, monster drummer. I recommend the Parrellax Pt2 album

  90. D.... D....

    We could set this world ABLAAAAAAAAAAAZE

  91. B.... B....

    ...years ago still one of my favorite Songs and a great tribute on ProgRock Classics !

  92. W.... ....

    Remember when Mastodon was this good?

    I never forgot

    W.... ....

    @reaverofsouls I feel the exact same. They blew away my expectations, which were already high haha

    W.... ....

    new album is absolute trash compared to this

    W.... ....

    Jaguar God is a fucking good song. For me, is one of the best now.

    W.... ....

    Once more around the sun is one of my favorite albums

    W.... ....

    Pepperidge Farms remembers.

  93. S.... E....

    that riff towards the end. wow. damn awsome music.

  94. j.... W....

    listening pleasure... yes

  95. f.... a....

    this song has such a jazzy Guthrie Govan feel to it

    f.... a....

    Love him!

    f.... a....

    @Lisa S. yea me too

  96. K.... H....

    I listen to everything: rap, rock country metal blues grind polka reggae and Sinatra-type ( not sure of the genre) and many more. this is my favorite number 1 song. "my window" by rittz is my 2nd

    K.... H....

    >sinatra type music
    you mean swing? lol
    and i agree, this is probably one of their best, if not the absolute best

  97. j.... ....

    is that Ozzy backing up vocal?

    j.... ....

    jszabo1000 that's Brent Hinds, his voice is similar, not too much but it's a little Ozzyish :S

  98. �.... �....

    that intro is the most increadible thing ive ever heard. I said it.

    �.... �....

    Τι λες ρε τρελακια?

    �.... �....

    Χαχαχα φιλε ειναι πολλοι
