Tread Lightly

Mastodon

Through the ages,
All the weary and the blind
Facing the unknown.

Off the venom.
Center our lives,
Knowing not your own is unwise.

And I will return for more.
The light will lead you ashore.

Paralyzed by thorn, inside

To the angel,
Breathing on me from the right,
A guilt you'll never know.

From the devil,
Staring from the left-hand side,
Souls to animal.

Recede your eyes.
Sulk in disgust.
When there is doubt,
Look to the obvious.

And I'll decide what you will pay.
Changing your mind seals our fate.

Paralyzed by thorn, inside.

Open your eyes!
Take a deep breath and return to life!
Wake up and fight!
Fight for the love and the burning light!
