Knowing right
Learning wrong
What you're feeling is pressure
Pulsate new blood
I've seen things you've heard never before
Bones aged in dust
Buy your bite take the body
Calm
Shutting down
You built me
I knew it
I'll never lie liar
You fed me
I chewed it
I'll never lie liar
I follow you covering me
Spirits in pieces
Crumbled and burnt
8. Slickleg
Praise mammoth
I lye trapped in ice
Bright cold shield my eyes
White cruel stone can't move
Hide so far from truth
Blood floweth
Crawl into unknown
Does time heal all wounds
Why's this been so long
Line of descent gone
Reign down
Reign down
9. Thank You For This
Let's throw down the love
I catch eyes open far and wide
Ability
It's intense
Golden lace it fills the magic flies
I wonder where is this list
Give in
Next time
This will be a blast
I catch eyes open far and wide
Ability
It's intense
Golden lace it fills the magic flies
I wonder where is this list
10. Call of the Mastodon
Strong structures guide
Building high and wide
Minds that create
Make us feel more
Alive
Standing on top of the skyline
Unlock unleash the beast below
11. Shadows That Move
The us rhythm blows a diseased river
Flow
Yeah it's going to blow a change within you
The us rhythm blows
With change we'll explode
And live
12. Battle At Sea
Wage no war thou brutal sea
I laugh at you
You can't have me
You will calm and carry me
Wage no war thou brutal sea
Wage no war
Brutal sea
Laugh at you
Can't have me
13. Hail to Fire
All see light in oceans black
Go seek find the red seas fire
Blow ship by those sail blind
Choosing one losing blood
You try exchanging
No I don't think so
Cannot escape me
No sound reason
14. We Built This Come Death
Now you see all this time
Work nine to five
Monday thru Friday I'm singing
I sing the blues for you
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain
My feet are cold but I can't complain
And I wonder how you have been
I need you love I miss you so
I know it's right but it's always strange
How I scream
All this life's worth all the while
Heartache and slave driving pain
I sing the blues for you
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain
My feet are cold but I can't complain
And I wonder how you have been
I need you love I miss you so
I know it's right but it's always strange
15. Welcoming War
Lost in a world
A guided eye to strengthen weakness
Throat in noose pain
Feel it constricting a lost love
Welcome to war
And it grows
Ocean lure
Fire of mankind
Universe
Throw it away
Destroyer of worlds found pain
Welcome to war
And it grows
16. Burning Man
Coals under foot burst into flames
Become the Earth’s ashes
Remain
Awaiting sand
A burning man
Approach the door where I place blame
Take the first step
Cleansing my shame
Awaiting sand
A burning man
17. Crusher Destroyer
Lesson
The honoring of instinct of animal
Pressure
No blame on the red bull
Throw fury at him
Aim gorge and win
Less contenders on the way today
Let them pay
Nothing Lost
Nothing gained
Listen
Here lies the warning for matador
Blackout
Blood running the dirt floor
Won’t bleed by accident
Burn your game plan
18. March of the Fire Ants
As passion encircles the daily storm
The heart bleeds and droughts do not
Bone grave
Bone engraved
Stone grave
Stone engraved
All circles created with intention
An ocean turns yellow
It soothes the eye
19. Mother Puncher
Change stand grow
These things you’ll never be
Taste your fate
All that you’ll ever be
A life love unconditional
A life love
Love unconditional
Chase
Chase ‘em down string ‘em up
Hate
Hate the ones who bring you down
20. Ol'e Nessie
Sanction lived in
Taught by masters
Flight of giving
Be mine always
Here for duration
Miss my sweet love
Times of sailing
Keep me grounded
Make us sure of future sanctions
21. Trainwreck
Life’s changed
Yet remain the same
Basking in an afterglow
I did not know
I am here
In shadows island
Lying
Hopeless wondering
All questions exhaust me
Running screaming chanting
For all this land I’ve seen it’s worth
Helping all for times sake
It brings me work
Pinned to this world
22. Trampled Under Hoof
Birth
Original plan
Who will issue days and strike them
Hurry to mystic plains
Go
Lifesblood
Hurdle in the path
Struck down
All is clear for play
23. Trilobite
If you can’t get it
I can’t get it
Fly
Soul is single
Wind beneath us
I can’t take it
If you can’t take it
Fly
Soul is single
Wind beneath us
Shades of sixteen
You’re with me
Shades of sixteen
Remember
24. Where Strides the Behemoth
Condition tomorrow
With visions inlaid
The priest stands to our right
A princess is mine
The regress of some minds
Further chase the prize
Pretentious you follow
Religion is mine
Anger precedes my footsteps
Haunting past comes into head
Horizon seems so far away
This life close to end of days
Kill and I will be damned
Forgive and I will be free
Unified eyesight
Grow
25. Workhorse
Slaved into brittle and worked for days
Only thing that paves your stay
Look behind you see what you’ve made
Like a workhorse stand for miles
Work for you and never get tired
Roll ‘em up it’s time to go
We’ll be back before it’s too long
Shaved into rhythm
Work for days
Consequences we have paid
To be free in a world weve made
Like a workhorse stand for miles
Work for you and never get tired
Roll ‘em up it’s time to go
We can bet on all that’s lost
Before it’s too long
Burning hell
26. Megalodon
Myth or legend
Nymph tale washed ashore
Near the kraken sleepeth stirs coral and bone
Infinite city
No sexy sneer
Hideous creation
Human and animal
Banter songs of rudeness to be adhered
Not on rocks that glisten
Harps to listen
Comb hair
Tear right to pieces
Left to recess a watery grave
Sensing the blood of prey
Swimming in fear for life
Rolling over
Falling into jaws
Teeth that chatter
It distracts them all
The Fiji mermaid
She will let it know
Time is coming to feed and knaw
27. Aqua Dementia
An invitation to clairvoyance
It's hard to stand around and watch while they ignore us
She is dumped on
Used as an ashtray
At the expense of an organized association
I see the stones in the path we laid
It's a question of tomorrow
We like to breathe the ancient wind that we have followed
A perfect fire to burn the land
Before they knew it
The sun had falledn
Boiling the water where the hydra's crawling
The righteous go in blazing fury
And we cleanse the earth to bring it down
Bring it down
And God will watch it burn
Releasing souls
Within the wrath we wait
To be dirt again
There is a flame I lit
I upon high
28. Blood and Thunder
I think that someone is trying to kill me
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind
No man of the flesh could ever stop me
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death
White whale - holy grail
What remorseless emperor commands me
I no longer govern my soul
I am completely immersed in darkness
As I turn my body away from the sun
White whale - holy grail
Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail
This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye
White whale - holy grail
29. Hearts Alive
Taken down with hearts alive
Our hearts alive
Lurking dark underground
Descend to the bottom
Swim below eternally
Into the deep blue sea
Time and space
All alone
It can be a lonely place
There it goes
Opening up
I can't stand
I can't breathe
Rolled fin out
Oil stripped
Hold is filled
Ocean coil
Water boils
He swims to the surface
Flame from mouth
Smoke he breathes
Enter the caverns of the deep
Time and space
All alone
It can be a lonely place
There it goes
Opening up
I can't stand
I can't breathe
Terrified
Ghastly cry
Spiraled lives
Taken down
Taken down
The iron side
Bucket of lead
Battle is she
Not for defeat
The iron side
Bucket of lead
Battle is she
30. I Am Ahab
There's magic in the water that attracts all men
Across hills and down streams
The turning of the tide
Outlook
Future bright
Selfish
Beauty shines
Light cloud rain drive on
13 years to this day red planet aligned
Into sight 60,000 years of light
Fascination with a mountain put to sea
Built to slay and conquer
All with teeth of beasts
31. Iron Tusk
Straight line
Feel it burst liver and lung
Long and strong
'Til she spills her black blood
Center down
Vast the head body and tail
Shatter life
Physeter catodon
Culture vulture
Elephant graveyard
Culture vulture
Engage monster
Wreaking vengeance
Assault with all martial rage
Sail on
32. Island
Given decision to live
Not taken
The flight towards the light
I'll stay in the lava for life
Erupting when gods take us all
Changing the peaks makes us pour
From the mountain and burn
The path of our time
Hail people of Iceland
Journey of a land anew
Ram as our liaison
Vision inspire and move
Awe holy island
Breed the lagoon to run free
Raw beauty is ruthless within the golden ring
Precision of Grungir
Spear of the Norse God Odin
Praise our Pagan Father
Founder of the Althing
Given decision to live
Not taken
The flight towards the light
I'll stay in the lava for life
Erupting when gods take us all
Changing the peaks makes us pour
From the mountain and burn
The path of our time
Ruler of sky's thunder
The honourable warrior
All divination
Beward the Hammer of Thor
Lava goddess
Ice and fire
Settling down
Ocean Geysir
Gullfoss
Heimaey '73
33. Naked Burn
Angels dancing with a mortal a sin
A giant born within a woman's womb
Nephilim walking through the forest breaking limbs
As we bow and give respect to the gods
Save yourself
Don't wait on me
My feet are sewn
Endless bottom
The church is burning from the inside out
Altars falling into ashes again
An eagle fly upon horizons with sight
Focusing on all our family and friends
Apologize
Can we rise above it
Climb the line
It's a good endeavor
The ships arrived
Let's sail into the weather
Our crying eyes
Save yourself
Don't wait on me
My feet are sewn
Endless bottom
34. Seabeast
If I stand around and watch them drown in a pool of gray
When we dive in I can surely say there's feud with force
Am I in your way? Please knock me down. Can I help you in?
When I'm not around let us all be found in certain ways
Dear Mr. Queequeg you have been informed your life's been saved
You are not a black-hearted vicious mess so it has been claimed
If this is the beast pulling us towards the east with mighty waves
Let us look inside and pull out all your pride you know it's up to us
Holding pasts in ash black earth
Bound by roots
Roots into sand
Grow towards the giver
There's an open wound placed upon my heart in anger's rage
If we open up a spirit, a spirit that can bleed
Ahab the leading lad we can trust his obsession carries them
Meet us at the temple healing all the crippled
Don't forget the maimed
Lower soul sent with gifts offering
Teeth of hope travel with
Child laid next to mother
35. Creating the Videos
36. March of the Fire Ants (Extended Version)
As passion encircles the daily storm
The heart bleeds and droughts do not
Bone grave
Bone engraved
Stone grave
Stone engraved
All circles created with intention
An ocean turns yellow
It soothes the eye
37. Iron Tusk (Uncensored Version)
Straight line
Feel it burst liver and lung
Long and strong
'Til she spills her black blood
Center down
Vast the head body and tail
Shatter life
Physeter catodon
Culture vulture
Elephant graveyard
Culture vulture
Engage monster
Wreaking vengeance
Assault with all martial rage
Sail on
38. Blood and Thunder
I think that someone is trying to kill me
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind
No man of the flesh could ever stop me
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death
White whale - holy grail
What remorseless emperor commands me
I no longer govern my soul
I am completely immersed in darkness
As I turn my body away from the sun
White whale - holy grail
Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail
This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye
White whale - holy grail
