Morbid Angel - Heaving Earth Lyrics






Before that which is, all was not
Less the Sweet Waters of Habsu
Chthhulhu Amah-Ushumgal-Anna
Triumvirate of Most High

Spirits of the Deep Waters, remember
Humbaba, Lord of the Forest, remember

From the Sweet Bitter all that is came
Creation of man and their gods
But man, fashioning overwhelm
Could not see the Light which he holds

Spirits of Purifying Flames, remember
Anunna, Gods of the Skies, remember
Anunnaki, Judges of Ur, remember
Anunnaki, Weighers of the Truth, be praised

The gift of flesh
Was in fact life's curse
Although born one in the same
In Spirit, but the flesh all too coarse

Discord, among the gods of men
Although they were brothers
Diversities grew
Overshadowing their connection
On the clearest of days they are
One in the same
Pettiest of purpose
Degenerates things to their crudest form
Being loathsome to Habsu
Zi-Zi Badur-Ku-Ku, Kanpa

Warring, in the Belly of Tiamat
Brothers do battle
Principalities of folly
Disturb the Mummu
The One Who Bore All Was
Appalled by their ways
Her Dream Time was of no peace
Their fleshly behavior
Overbeating and proud
She despised them
Zi Zi Anunnaki, Kanpa

The Ways of the Underworld are Perfect
Not to be questioned by that of the brute
Clearly beyond the understanding
Of that which is ruled by the drives of the flesh
For whom shall then oppose
The Lights of Asag, Purifying Flames
Come child, the Anunnaki wait
Truth is the Weapon no pity it holds

The ways of the flesh
Barbaric behavior patterns
Flesh over Spirit, the motivator of the worthless
The ways of the flesh
The evolution is minimal
I watch as your kingdoms rise and fall
Causing no effective change
Your military
Command structure of impotence
A gross misuse of force
By leaders who lack in vision
Your gods
Evidence of your weakness
Your focus is one with delusion
You worship that which means your end

Rise up, O Mahummuhu
The Judgement is passed
The treachery is clear
They shalt become empty like the wind
The emptiest of shells so shall they be
O Great Mother
The Armies shall rise with Weapons
No pity they hold
From Your Great Mummu
The Serpents shall come
Venom for blood
And the Glory of Gods

Spirits of the Flames, remember
Anunna, Gods of the Skies, remember
Anunnaki, Judges of Ur, remember
Anunnaki, Weighers of the Truth, be praised

Mahummuhu Gal-Gal
Me-Gal-Gal-Zu Ga Hul
Amah-Ushumgal-Anna
Me-Gal-Gal-Zu Ga Hul

Morbid Angel Heaving Earth Comments
  1. J.... T....

    Rockin'

  2. D.... ....

    You really see where gojira was influenced. They went on to explore a different, less harsh, atmosphere, but both bands are really good.

  3. V.... N....

    This riff in the first 15 seconds, it sounds so perfectly.

  4. B.... R....

    Curb stomp neo Nazi's to Morbid Angel songs in 2019

  5. K.... N....

    Cannibal corpse and dying fetus in here

  6. J.... D....

    Whoever signed off on this cover artwork paid way too much money for it. Somebody had to say it.

    J.... D....

    The deeper you look into the artwork, the more you realize that what you just said isn't true.

  7. c.... ....

    smoke out

  8. P.... ....

    When you realize that this album was released in 1998 and Pete was blasting THAT FAST. Really ahaed of any drummers at this time, he paved the way to the brutal death metal genre. Just amazingly crushing. I speak for both F and G albums of Morbid Angel. Hail Pete !!

    P.... ....

    Although Pete is a beast and Morbid Angel is one of my favorite bands, Flo Mounier was doing faster beats back in '96, when None So Vile came out.

    P.... ....

    Paul Mauzerkewicz, Mike Smith, Flo Mounier, Steve Asheim, Mick Harris and others were blasting way before 98. Pete Sandoval was blasting his ass off in Terrorizer in the late 80’s before he even joined Morbid Angel. This album is during the worst period for death metal, late in the game.

    P.... ....

    Trym Torson was playing some fast stuff with Emperor during this same era as well

    P.... ....

    @Crypto World they were never this fast. Fastest cc blast about 200 bpm. This is 260.

    P.... ....

    Pete paved the way by playing clean, executed blasts. Then guys like trym, Roddy and others picked up the torch in the mid 90's.

  9. E.... L....

    8 dislikes wtf y'all gay

  10. E.... L....

    SEXY 👌

    This IS Morbid Angel's best album. Nothing can change my mind.

  11. f.... f....

  12. P.... ....

    That guitar solo part is otherworldly

  13. A.... S....

    Pete sandoval

  14. J.... R....

    Pete Sandoval IS metal.

  15. P.... E....

    That ending is fucking cathartic.

  16. J.... T....

    Great song.

  17. P.... B....

    Super hard drum track not because of the blasts but the transitions from blasts to thrash beat and fills. The right hand is constantly on. Then you realize Pete was built like a coiled spring and it all makes sense.

    P.... B....

    Guitar-wise it's not that easy to play as well, right hand as well as in drums, but also left hand has to do really lots of work to hold and operate these constant power chords... it's a real exhaustion song ;) A strength sport for a guitar player. It's just freaking hard to play man!

  18. A.... W....

    god level shit

  19. A.... W....

    jesus buttfucking christ the lyrics are fucking insane !!!!

  20. M.... M....

    Eveyone‘s gonna hate me for this, but i honestly don´t dig it, doesn't completely sound like morbid angel to me, more like a typical cannibal corpse knock off from this particular era in death metal, when everyone was trying to out-br00tal eachother all the way to the late 2000’s.

  21. b.... h....

    2 people are fucking idiots. Hail Morbid Angel!

  22. m.... t....

    2:52 > One of the best Trey solo : short, crazy, axe-broken-weird-fingering shit... Perfect. Love that kind of sickness.

  23. T.... D....

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. L.... K....

    That main riff though...

    L.... K....

    The first one right? Yeah, finger breaking stuff  :)

    L.... K....

    awesome riff

    L.... K....

    nothing personal anyhow NOTF$*(_)_CK UUUU. UnF()CK3D.

    L.... K....

    @Lord Krius That's not that hard to play. The one with which the song starts, that demands more effort.

  25. I.... F....

    Crazy !!

  26. J.... v....

    I wonder if Gojira named an album after 2:07

    J.... v....

    Jelmer van der Zaag wouldnt be surprised at all

    J.... v....

    He said “the ways of the flesh” not “the way of all flesh”

  27. s.... ....

    such an underrated masterpiece

    s.... ....

    this album set the bar extremely high for everyone else. it's jaw dropping amazing.

    s.... ....

    Damn right

    s.... ....

    mean! ;)

    s.... ....

    Why underrated? Oh yeah, it's so "metal" to call a band, album or particular song "underrated". This is album is not underrated but that term is certainly "overused" by every 15 year old metal genius. Goddamn!

  28. S.... S....

    How do i just now got into Morbid Angel? This shit rips!

    S.... S....

    better late than never brother.Enjoy!

  29. E.... ....

    WELCOME BACK steve Tucker, lets forget that last one never happened and give us another one like this or Gateways and bits of pieces of Heretic.

  30. d.... ....

    TUCKER'S BACK!! I want to hear this song live!!!

    d.... ....

    +deadasfak really ?

    d.... ....

    +Ado Podrinje he is correct.

    d.... ....

    buddy this is my all time favorite song from them. live with tucker would be amazing to see

    d.... ....

    @shredfactor7 I LOVe intro riffs, plus the guitarsolos are fucking incredible, plus the ending part is DEVOURING!!!

    d.... ....

    definitely good. i saw em a couple times around the time this album came out.

  31. G.... R....

    206 likes, ZERO dislike !!!

    G.... R....

    @*****
    Mmmm ? Why "dangerous" ?

    G.... R....

    @Gold D. Roger Someone will come along and dislike just to be contrary. Always happens.

    G.... R....

    +Chiyo
    No ! Not for the moment at least...But on on the other hand that track have won another (again !) like : 206 !!!! (always zero dislike then)

    G.... R....

    +Chiyo
    Its happened...:-(

    G.... R....

    6 Dislikes.

  32. m.... ....

    Best Morbid Angel album hands down.

    m.... ....

    My favorite as well!!!

    m.... ....

    FFTTF is a great album but nothing touches the first four.

    m.... ....

    m0skit0zindahouse Absolutely 🤘🤘⚡️⚡️❤️🔥 Beautifully organic expression of art 🤘🤘

    m.... ....

    @Iak Sakkak that's what divides us as MA fans. Although I respect your opinion as music is entirely subjective, i still think the tucker era albums are the best. Again just my opinion, we all have our own. Respect

  33. N.... O....

    out of all the heavy death metal  bands that i have heard only these two, (morbid angle  and napalm death) sing with total conviction !
    Probably cause they have content to the music .

    N.... O....

    Did u just call Morbid Angel heavy?? Lol

  34. r.... m....

    I like thos more tgen gateways by just a knotch.

  35. M.... N....

    1) FFF & AofD
    2) D
    AofM is just a correct imitation of AofD

  36. a.... e....

    this is trey, pete and the demons at their best. this shit blows away everything you listen to

    a.... e....

    fucking Pete Sandoval was so angry in this album, he gave it all

  37. M.... ....

    correct!!

  38. t.... s....

    we are gods sicks kids my bother

  39. N.... D....

    didn't realize you soldiers had such good taste in metal

  40. t.... s....

    I love this shit you should have seen us play this shit in Afghanistan from a a1 tank fucking grate mother made them mother made them mother fuck them

  41. h.... c....

    Seems Behemoth has burrowed Steves Tuckers vocals :)

  42. A.... A....

    This album is amazing as he'll trey is a great guitar player

  43. T.... R....

    Love the intros

  44. t.... ....

    Good luck then! X-D

  45. b.... ....

    com`on, i`m trying to cover this song, and don`t wanna die!

  46. t.... ....

    How can anyone drum that fast & not have a fucking heart attack???

    t.... ....

    Behold the great Pete Sandoval, the father of the blast beat 😎🤘🏾🔥

  47. D.... S....

    You have no argument at all, pointless to continue. Remain in your stupidity, bye.

  48. L.... ....

    It's close minded... So should I ask a douchebag elitist "Hey would you like to change my opinion for me?" No, I shouldn't.. To me this album is a masterpiece (I won't say that again so get over your idiocy) and so what if you think you're better than everyone else because their opinion is not yours. It's not about your facts, it's about my opinions. You're so retarded, an elitist, and being that you're an elitist I don't think you have the right to call anyone "mind-closed" lmao. Idiot.

  49. D.... S....

    I'm 21, I've been listening to Death Metal for 9 years. And so what. If you think insulting and not arguing makes you seem smart...
    If you consider that saying "no one can learn me anything about Death Metal" is good, jeez you're fucktarded.

    It's not about your opinion, it's about facts. You're so stupid, immature and mind-closed... Are you really 20 years old ?

  50. D.... S....

    I don't especially connect Music with Internet, sorry.
    Also, saying that Music is pure subjectivity is... basically retarded. It's not about my opinion. It's about the music itself. Yes, you can judge Music and make a critic of it. Music falls under artistic, harmonic, rythmic, melodic "universal" criterias. Music can be objectively good or bad.

    I haven't been pretentious nor a douche. You're being a real douche there. And if it's about nickname that you destroy my ideas... Yours is retarded.

  51. D.... S....

    I don't even care about your opinion. I talk about objectivity, you talk about subjectivity. This album IS NOT a masterpiece. Take a look on any Metal website (SoM, MetalArchives, etc.), you'll see. Ask any Death Metal fan that has knowledge about it, he'll tell you the same.

    D.... S....

    Shaggy xdxd

  52. L.... ....

    So.. we meet again..
    Lol, I disagree with this comment too.. This album is a masterpeice, it's actually my favorite out of all of them.

  53. l.... f....

    pure....when this record i wa astronomy

  54. s.... ....

    Does any one know what hes saying at the end?
    How'd they translate this stuff?

  55. D.... G....

    pure power!!! at 1:39 - 1:54

  56. D.... S....

    My favorite one from them. But Blessed and Gateways (and even Covenant and Domination) are fucking awesome too.

  57. T.... ....

    Gateways is a true masterpiece

  58. D.... S....

    This album is a good album. Not a masterpiece at all, unlike Gateways, Blessed and Altars.

  59. d.... ....

    Bsst track off of it !😣😣😣😣😣👗

  60. E.... ....

    Goddamn this their best album!!! Yet I don't own it, gotta fix that mess real quick!

  61. N.... Z....

    thumbs up for a masterpiece of death metal

  62. A.... ....

    Yeah. I read an interview with David Vincent, and he stated that Trey came to him one day with this random idea of mixing their music with the techno/industrial sound. He liked the idea, and the rest is history.

  63. t.... ....

    I had no idea and I'm also still kinda new to Morbid Angel so :p

  64. A.... ....

    Formulas Fatal to the Flesh was the best Tucker album. Altars of Madness is Morbid Angel's best album, period. Covenant is a close second. Evil D is a solid bass player and his vocals before Domination were killer. Yes, he's a dick, but he helped contribute to the Morbid Angel sound. Keep in mind that Death Metal was a developing genre in the late 1980's and David knew how to play it right.

  65. A.... ....

    Surprising? Trey has been a fan of Laibach and other techno bands since the Altars of Madness years.

  66. t.... ....

    That is very surprising.

  67. A.... ....

    Illud.. was all Trey.

  68. U.... ....

    Yep, Steve sings in portuguese:

    Gordo estudado = 1:24
    Papai noéis = 1:29

    U.... ....

    It's weird, broken sumerian

  69. R.... ....

    They aren't. Are you mistaking Cannibal Corpse with Obituary?

  70. M.... W....

    Talking shit on the internet doesn't make you a tough guy. Zecharia Sitchin's deciphering of the Sumerian tablets have been proven by many reputable scholars as being DEAD wrong.

  71. M.... W....

    This drum tone is classic and legendary.

  72. d.... ....

    okay.

  73. D.... R....

    Morbid Angel is far better off without the ignorant shortsightedness of your ignorant self, come to think of it. Too fake. A*shole.

  74. d.... ....

    Dat solo

  75. d.... ....

    morbid angel would be so much better without the shitty drums. dont get me wrong pete sandoval is a great drum but i hate that drum sound. too fake.

  76. W.... ....

    Look what They accomplished without your "innovation" and 'unique sound" David Vincent. I will never forgive you, for Illud Divinium Insanus and If I ever see you in person I will probably beat your ass. When the time comes, I pray that The Annunaki feast slowly upon your mortal flesh.

  77. U.... ....

    @CrazyMetalZombie You are right. His blast beats are slow.

  78. U.... ....

    @CrazyMetalZombie And you think their blast beats aren't some of the slowest in death metal?

  79. b.... ....

    @UmadLoL Not really, considering Cannibal Corpse is 80% blast beats.

  80. U.... ....

    @CrazyMetalZombie Yes really. Cannibal Corpse is slow just like stated earlier.

  81. b.... ....

    @ChrisObscene Lol not really but a'ight.

  82. C.... H....

    @CrazyMetalZombie LOL The drummer for cannibal corpse is like one of the slowest death metal drummers ever.

  83. b.... ....

    @rottenroth I know your comment is like a year old but I have whisky so idc.

    Anyway Cannibal Corpse are actually the faster band.

  84. r.... ....

    @theif519 hahaha big difference between ma and cc.
    Cc = rif chugging more slower death.
    Ma = faster,way more variation,intense stuff

  85. b.... ....

    @theif519
    Ehhh... Morbid Angel have a much, much different lyrical theme than Cannibal Corpse. They also don't focus as much on the whole brutal aspect. They're more of a fantastical, more progressive themed band.

  86. L.... J....

    This band actually reminds a bit of Cannibal Corpse... their style is a bit similar... in my opinion, anyway.
