Lyrics To Learn: Mastodon’s Oblivion
March 4, 2009 by Scott
Oblivion is such an epic (”epic” is way over-used these days) opener for Mastodon’s upcoming album, Crack The Skye. The way it leads in to the first verse and then the chorus. The chorus will have you humming, singing or screaming it for hours on after you hear it.
Learn the lyrics, because you’ll be playing this song over and over like March Of The Fire Ants, Blood And Thunder or Colony Of Birchmen.
Mastodon – Oblivion Lyrics
I flew beyond the sun before it was time,
burning all the gold that held me inside my shell.
Waiting for you to pull me back in,
I almost had the world in my sights.
Lost love, bright eyes fading faster than stars falling.
How can I tell you that I failed? Tell you I failed.
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long.
Leaving you behind is my lonesome song.
Now I’m lost in oblivion.
I tried to bore a hole into the ground,
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand.
The eyes of the child see no wrong.
Ignorant bliss impending doom.
Lost love, bright eyes fading faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I failed? Tell you I failed
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long.
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song.
Now I’m lost
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long.
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song.
Now I’m lost in oblivion.
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long.
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song.
Now I’m lost.
Fallen from grace cause I been away too long.
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song.
Now I’m lost in oblivion.
In oblivion.
