Mastodon - The Wolf Is Loose Lyrics






The hero of the gods
The crossing of the threshold
The belly of the whale
Refusal of return
Hollow eyes
Dry pale legs
Howling on
Through fields and graves
Language of the signs
Symbols to our sight
Guardian to thy throne
Take on form
Daylight
Hide the skin
Cut it off
Scatter ash in the wind
Shapeshifter rolling on winds of tyrants make
Fierce lore of fanged horn
Danger all the way
Night's sea reflection
The faces of bodies slain
Returning to the form of natural human's fate
Grown from the cold
Spirits unclean
Dealer of the days
The ice will thaw
As the soldier walks through the crimson side
Researchers of aftermath
Dispelling disarming man
One-toed horses subject of Genesis
And the immigrants
Fundamental side of a human mind
Hulder folk and fairies
So believe
The hero of the gods
The crossing of the threshold
The belly of the whale
Refusal of return

Mastodon The Wolf Is Loose Comments
  1. R.... C....

    Now if this doesn't make you want to fight a moose in the nude then I just feel bad for you.

  2. E.... M....

    -2006 Masterpiece
    -2019 Legends
    -2020 One More Álbum, One More Reunion, One World Tour,

  3. G.... K....

    I saw them live a couple years ago. As soon as I heard those drums I was like "If I don't get out of this pit, I'm gonna end up in the hospital."

  4. M.... B....

    Great song to listen when you're between your cups

  5. J.... L....

    Tripping on mushrooms in Brickhouses' basement.

  6. N.... H....

    this made me spinkick a nun

  7. B.... 1....

    Holy metal it's been a while since i hear this kind os music
    10/10

  8. T.... ....

    Some sick lyrics. This is such a badass song

  9. G.... K....

    I saw these guys play in Cleveland in 2016, and as soon as that drum intro kicked in I was like "I better get out of the pit before something gets broken."

  10. P.... G....

    Brann Dailor is a spider

  11. V.... F....

    My favorite Mastodon song

  12. D.... ....

    If you don't like this song, fuck you. You're not my friend.

  13. C.... I....

    THE HERO OF THE GODS!
    THE CROSSING OF THE THRESHOLD!
    THE BELLY OF THE WHALE!

  14. K.... H....

    I'm never more willing to hit someone in the head with a blunt object than when I listen to this.

  15. A.... C....

    The drummer is a fuckin badasssss

  16. �.... �....

    These Brent's yells are the angriest shit I've ever heard. Agressive af. But it's sad that he can't nail them live...

  17. C.... G....

    Great song (The Czar is better), but about drummers I prefer, for example: Kerim „Krimh” Lechner, Michał Łysejko (Decapitated) or Danny Carey.

  18. S.... M....

    I bought this album by mistake thinking it was something else...by far the best mistake i made..this shit will go down in the history books of many ages to come!!

    S.... M....

    STEPHEN MCKIMMIE what did u think it was?

  19. C.... D....

    1:01 “Nazi reflection though makes his body sing”

  20. F.... M....

    The Brann is Loose

  21. L.... ....

    saw them live and the singer basically told the crowd to fuck off after the show cause nobody was remotely interested in the garbage they played. what a likeable band

  22. S.... ....

    I remember the first time I put this album on. Right from the start of this song, I knew it was going to kick ass.

  23. J.... P....

  24. S.... G....

    it would be better if that guy would quit yelling

    S.... G....

    [facepalm]

    S.... G....

    srsly, he's just feckin yelling. it sucks. i'd rather do katatonia or opeth or some band where the singer sings, instead yelling at me

    S.... G....

    Boi [points with entire hand]

  25. e.... f....

    love dis tune..... drumming is fookin savage

  26. J.... C....

    I wonder if I can pull this bass line off with a. Four string. Anyone know their tune?

    J.... C....

    Standard D. You drop of a step on each string: DGCF.

  27. g.... ....

    You know they suck live because Brann Dailor can't play drums and sing at the same time.

  28. v.... ....

    A.... ....

    No i dont listen the shit because the shit dont talk

  42. C.... C....

    Why would anybody listen to this?

    C.... C....

    Idk, maybe because it's fast-paced, it has amazing riffs and cool vocals, I guess. Idk, because I only listen to lil yachty

    C.... C....

    I just did. Pretty awesome cover 👍 that's some fast riffage

    j.... ....

    Thanks man, much appreciated!

    j.... ....

    I might do a drum cover one day if I ever get some mics that dont sound like ass

  57. k.... ....

    I swear this is on my top 5 of the best i´ve heard on my life!!

  58. A.... M....

    I would like this rn but it's right at 666 o;

  59. d.... ....

    This gives me quite the boner.

  60. 0.... ....

    Braan must have incredible stamina because this song is almost one massive drum fill.

    Isn't that every Mastodon song? xD

    0.... ....

    I saw them open for JP too! seeing them in LA on 4/20 and I'm so excited.

    0.... ....

    Saw them live for the third time this Tuesday, he came up front and made a joke about how he's back there sitting in a Jacuzzi because he was drenched from head to toe.

    0.... ....

    Agreed but it's actually not one of the worst offenders in that respect :P

    0.... ....

    listen to battle at sea

  61. A.... H....

    Brann Dailor fucking dominates! =D

  62. N.... I....

    Where is Hunters of the Sky?

  63. D.... J....

    Saw them on 2006 for ten bucks. They played the whole blood mouton album and some of leviathan, plus I snagged one of brann dailors drum stick after he throw it in the crowd.. Best ten dollars I've ever spent

    D.... J....

    Cheere mate

    D.... J....

    I saw Mastodon, Lamb Of God, Slayer, Children Of Bodom, Thine Eyes Bleed around that time. Best $50 ever spent.

    D.... J....

    Lucky you but hey either way..I pay 100& change to see them cuz they're that good! & I will see them next Friday Jun 7th in BROOKYN NYC joining them with COHEED & CAMBRIA. My first time seeing both of these awesome bands playing live in MY STATE/CITY 😎🤘

  64. A.... M....

    "That pick slide had zero energy"

  65. A.... M....

    "That pick slide had zero energy"

    A.... M....

    I guess he likes his sound smooth. that's intended...

    A.... M....

    Hanneman in Seasons in the Abyss. near the end. that's the best one.

    A.... M....

    Wrong. Greatest pick slide ever is Eddie Van Halen's epic slide after the final bridge on "Mean Streets" right before they go into the last part. Right after DLR says "Lord, strike that po' boy down."
    Listen....you will see.

    A.... M....

    No love for the slide at the start of Pantera's "A New Level?"

    A.... M....

    @DeterminedGoat awesome documentary

  66. R.... R....

    ufff sabrosura total

  67. B.... T....

    @***** brought me here... im usually an old school punker... but this is pretty damn great! thanks, fluff!

    B.... T....

    Which video? Would love to see fluff rip some Mastodon!

    \m/

  68. T.... ....

    Oh hell yeah! :)

  69. J.... M....

    this song rulez

  70. J.... ....

    Brann Dailor is just.... just too good.

    J.... ....

    absolutely inhuman

    J.... ....

    One of if not the most underrated drummers of today...

  71. M.... -....

    EARGASM!,,

  72. d.... d....

    i love mastodon they'r so fuckin badass they'er music is idk how to describe

  73. P.... N....

    Fuckin intense drumming

  74. B.... ....

    The build up starting at about 1:50 comes to such a satisfyingly amazing riff, and the following section with the clean, almost spoken, vocals is incredibly well-done. Mastodon made a fucking amazing song, what a surprise!

  75. a.... b....

    Who does the first vocal part?

    a.... b....

    @Heinrick192 Thanks bro

    a.... b....

    Brent is the scratchy vox, Brann has the more choir-sounding soft vocals, and Troy has those huge bellowing roars. For the future reference!

    a.... b....

    @Heinrick192 Yes, and Bill has the death-metal growls of Satan :D

    a.... b....

    @Brandon Griffin it's Brent until 0:22 then it's Troy, and just switches between them

    a.... b....

    A wolf let loose i guess

  76. L.... L....

    This is great!

  77. k.... ....

    Holy shit the drumming on this song is beautiful. 

    k.... ....

    The drumming is beautiful on a lot of their songs.

    k.... ....

    I'm well aware. Brann Dailor is probably my favorite modern day drummer right now.
    I'm just saying their earlier albums were a little too heavy, and the newer stuff is a little too groovy, but this had the perfect mix, and drum wise is probably my favorite album by them (Crack the skye still holds that title for me though.)

  78. D.... G....

    This song is really good. How cool is it that it may not be the best song on the album? That is just crazy.

  79. K.... �....

    American metal is still good if it produces these types of bands.
    This legacy will last a few years before expiring.Zeitgeist is caught quite nicely in their songs.

  80. J.... ....

    lol its true. Has any one noticed that this blood mountain album on the very last track has one of those weird giant pauses in it & after like an hour there is a hidden message at the end of that track, check it out, & what it has to say is mysteriously strange, lol its real so keep it real. Check out the band Sleeping Giant if you believe me. Also check out band called The Burial listen to their song "The intercessor" its kick azz trust me u ought to love it, some real angelic warriors

  81. J.... ....

    gj but i noticed the lyrics are off a bit. i got the album pamphlet w/lyrics & it actually says "language of the saved, circle to us saints" dude this is real angelic music all the way. oh oh let me show you there is a hero of the gods a 'Lord of lords'/'Spirit of all spirits' to say. The threshold is prophecy in the bible as well the belly of the whale, look at your globe the U.S. bourders & coastlines depict this creature & if living here you are in the belly of it & N.A. a dragon, sobelieve

  82. G.... ....

    No im a drummer and i know what u mean :D

  83. S.... B....

    2:53 funkin' berry

  84. m.... ....

    because hetfield is a true mastodon fan

  85. �.... ....

    Their best album

  86. H.... T....

    RAPE!
    jk haha

  87. H.... T....

    I ENJOY THIS ALBUM

  88. J.... B....

    plus its the best song about them

  89. J.... B....

    never thought this song was really about were-wolves.

  90. b.... ....

    this+weed+any fight scene from princess mononoke=awesomeness

  91. j.... ....

    im a huge fan of the fills the drummer drops in this song, and i know im gonna get smashed for saying this, but i wished he had a lil more double bass, just sayin, either way, i love how the song is fast as fuck and outta control

  92. s.... ....

    AS THE SOLIDER WALKS THROUGH THE CRIMSON TIDE!

  93. d.... ....

    At last, someone uploaded in good quality!!! \m/
