The first single from Mastodon’s 5th album, The Hunter.
According to Brann, the song is about a parrot:
That’s a song about a parrot. They have black tongues. I don’t know if you’re familiar. You know, looking in that fucking mirror all day playing with that bell, it just gets to you. If you could...
[Verse 1]
I burned out my eyes
I cut off my tongue
I sealed them with all of the silver
And now I have none
[Chorus 1]
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the
[Verse 2]
You own the darkness
Have taken my sight
You buried the stars underground
You've stolen the night
[Bridge]
You can run to the sea
You can run to the forest
You can hide
But you'll never escape
[Breakdown]
You've run out of lies
You've run out of time
[Chorus 2]
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the sun
