I'd guess they would say we could set this world ablaze

Ναι ναι..καλά μαντέψατε...

Ακόμα ένας αγαπημένος δίσκος κυκλοφόρησε αυτόν τον μήνα αυτή την φορά -όχι και τόσο παλιά...αλλά- μόλις πριν 2 χρόνια...-24 Μαρτίου 2009-

Το Crack The Skye των Mastodon...

Είναι ο τέταρτος δίσκος τους, και ο μέχρι σήμερα πιο μοσχοπουλημένος,-όπου έφτασε στο νούμερο 11 του Billboard200- και αυτή την φορά έχουν σαν θέμα το στοιχείο του αέρα (στους προηγούμενους 3 δίσκους ασχολήθηκαν με τη φωτιά το νερό και την γη)

Σε συνεντεύξεις όμως των μελών του συγκροτήματος (Tory Sanders - φωνή, μπάσο- Brent Hinds - φωνή, κιθάρα- Brann Dailor - τύμπανα, και φωνή στο Oblivion- και Bill Kelliher -κιθάρα-) αναφέρθηκαν σε σε άλλα θέματα με τα οποία καταπιάνεται ο δίσκος, όπως οι εξωσωματικές εμπειρίες, τα αστρικά ταξίδια, την τσαρική Ρωσία και τις θεωρίες του Steven Hawking -επίσης ο δίσκος είναι αφιερωμένος στην αδερφή του Dailor η οποία στην τρυφερή ηλικία των 14 ετών, αυτοκτόνησε-

Αγαπημένα με διαφορά είναι τα "Oblivion", "The Czar", "Ghost of Karelia" και "The Lost Baron"

Το track list είναι το εξής:

1. Oblivion
2. Divinations
3. Quintessence
4. The Czar
5. Ghost Of Karelia
6. Crack The Skye
7. The Last Baron


Επειδή οι Mastodon δεν είναι και 'εύκολοι', οι μη-μυημένοι καλά θα κάνουν να προσπεράσουν...

-info: Τα μάθατε ότι οι Mastodon θα είναι στο Sonisphere Festival με τους Iron Maiden και Slipknot στις 17 Ιουνίου στο Terra Vibe έτσι;-




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 sight
Lost love, bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed ?
Tell you I failed..

Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion.

I tried to burrow a hole into the ground
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand
The eyes of a child see no wrong
Ignorant bliss, impending doom
Lost love, bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed ?
Tell you I failed..

Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost...
Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion.



It's gone away
It's gone away
It's gone for good
Animal spirits come calling me home
Through the tunnels of brilliant light
The magnet of wisdom is pulling
Burrowing faster the fabric of time

No escape
Biding spirits
No escape
Trapped in time space

Rapid descendants
The wormhole is empty
The center of Khlysty surrounds me
The fire is dancing in a silvery sheet of breath
Black robe
Necromancing
Summon the soul of the spectre

No escape
Binding spirits
No escape
Trapped in time space

Fire in the eye
Realm of mystic majesty



Don't stay
Run away
He has ordered assassination
Don't stay
Run away
The henchmen are gathered and waiting
Don't stay
Run away
Your role as Usurper is found out
Don't stay
Run away
Tsarina has warned you of the danger

It's your own fault
This is what we wanted
It's your own fault
This is where we lay

By the light of the moon
You must escape into the deep black of the night
Fight the devil inside
Enemies poison deep within my second sight
Wasting valuable time
Ride the tides of blood
Illumination
Beauties sudden hand
Shattered crown
Stretching hands up high
We're on our way now
Leave the Tsar to die

Spiraling up through the crack in the sky
Leaving material world behind
I see your face in constellations
The Martyr is ending his life for mine



Wrathful one nine eyes gaze
Holding Skulls
Filled and laced
With human blood

Shades of darkened skies
Emptiness
Twilight holding through
Offering

Lie in zenith
Bulls bloodshot eyes
Flattened portrait of night sky
Feel crust hum
Facing the north
Vapor space

Between heaven and earth
Wisdom in the knower
A planet collide
Divisible we fall

Hear dirt waves
Wading forth
Vapor space

How long has it been since we flew through shadows ?
I have walked on many other planets.

Sinister twin
Choking on fear
Bonded Iron
Sink to the core



Blessed visionary cut me with your sun
The rivers ran in blood
Spark fueled to fire

Deep within this endless void
Searching for a sign

The vessel forged inside of me
Watches over
Like the death of the moon

Strike the shepherd
Sheep will scatter
Mountains of despair

I can see the pain
It's written all over your face

The screaming arrows tear through my soul
In the dawn your face is haunting
White ghostly dreams

Weight of worlds is on your shoulders
Hear the voice of gold

I can see the pain
It's written all over your face

Desperate heathens flock to sirens
Guard your heartache well

Momma don't let them take her!
Don't let them take her down!

Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one
Her spirits too strong

I can see the pain
It's written all over your face
I can see the pain
You can make it all go away



I'd guess they would say we could set this world ablaze

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

It is hard to see
Through all the haze at the top of the trees
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

Faltering footsteps, dead end path
All that I need is this wise man's staff
Encased in crystal, he leads the way
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze

Please, please take my hand
Please take my soul to rest
So we can always be around

I guess they would say we can set the world ablaze
Hold my head on stable ground
Watch as the earth falls all around

Take my black soul
Arrive in the fires that burn my skin
Guide my eyes all through this maze
I guess they'd say we could set the world ablaze

All that I have seen standing on the edge
The foot of precipice floating in the sea
Past the king of swords quickly to the shore
The last baron, the last baron

Ghost of man surrounds me in my slumber
I have no fear as your wing is my shelter

Cyanide he craves, coursing through his veins
Providing him with strength to see this to the end
Afraid of psychic eyes, faith in mystic power
The last baron, the last baron

Will he save me, will he save me?
I was standing staring at the world
And I can't see it
I was standing staring at the world
I still can't see it
