Lyrics

In this concrete jungle there is no instinct, clarity, or freedom
In this concrete jungle there is no serenity, beauty, no majesty

I can find no calm
(I see greed)

Endless numbers, mountainous towers, man-made mistakes

I can find no calm
(I see greed)

Savages gnawing at the land that provides
The human animal destroys home
Savages clawing with the hands that decide
The human animal has nowhere to go

Savages gnawing at the land that provides
The human animal destroys home
Savages clawing with the hands that decide
The human animal has no place to go
 
I walk on (blades) of grass
I run under (limbs) these trees
And I gaze at vast horizons (stretched out)
In an endless sea, I drift

I look back and think.

Am I that man who will stand out?
It would take a mountain of a man to right these wrongs.

Am I that man? Who will stand out?

Lyrics

Stockholm Syndrome is the disease and we all have it
Defending an institution with age old habits
Why must we preserve this fear and hate
Time to evolve before it’s too late

We all have a complex
Down inside
The scars run deep
The system seems fine

Distorted values
Is what it provides
The cycle repeats
Are you alive?

How can we live when we’re down on two knees
Hoping for change from a system diseased
Live to repeat a constant decay
My child won’t meet yours living lives unchained

They’re not out to get us
They’re just sicker than most
Another victim
Of this cruel hoax

Hold out for one day
When Hope shines through
Someday we’ll witness
The final truth

How can we live when we’re down on two knees
Hoping for change from a system diseased
Live to repeat a constant decay
My child won’t meet yours living lives unchained

This Time
We’ll See
This Time 
You’ll See

This time, we’ll look a little closer
We’ll see, that we are bound together
This time, when you feel the dire
We’ll see, we must care for each other now

This Time
We’ll See
This Time
We’ll See

We are the complex

If you can name the movie from the little sound bites I’ll give you a million dollars. Ah hell, I’ll just tell ya.

This song is based on a movie Erik and I hold near and dear to our hearts. It’s from “Altered States” the 1980 mind-fuck of a movie staring William Hurt. It’s all about delving into other states of consciousness and it gets the ‘ol noggin’ thinking! Well enjoy! Mountain of a Man plays brutal dark metal.

Lyrics

I’m alive
I’m the all knowing
I’m alive
Look into my third eye

I’m complete
I know this world
Deep inside
I can see all you’ll be

In my core is the creator
In my heart is the ultimate decider
Imagine the heavens within
To control the power inside us

I am whole
I cannot be swayed
I have seen
My true self has been born

I am god
I can feel it now
I’m awake
Darkness has clouded me

All I’ve seen
Has become
Nothingness
No great truth

I’ve created a wall
I’ve created these walls

I’ve found hell, utter damnation
In the black of my deserted soul
Divinity, the search for truth
Is not within but with human interaction

Lost cause deep within me
Clear failure of the truth
I’ve found something real 
Our bond is pure

 

Roadtrippin’.

These three men have not been in the same room together is probably two years; very unacceptable.

Tim Obert visit was a success.  Awesome…crazy, crazy awesome. 

NEW SONG!!!

This one is extremely dark, scary, and above all brutal as fuck.  It all spawns from the opening bass riff I had written a couple years ago.  It also features Erik Moore’s triumphant return to the microphone laying down his most brutal performance to date. Props to Erik for nailing the vocals on a difficult song to sing on.  Check it out…love it, hate it…I just hope it makes you very uncomfortable.

Graybeard

Graybeard consumes
Graybeard will conquer all
His beard won’t stop
His beard won’t stop growing

I have been consumed by his beard
There’s no escaping his reach, I’m trapped
I can’t go back, I can’t go back

I am Graybeard, Graybeard is me
