Mastodon - The Czar Lyrics






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 of the danger

It's your own fault
That 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 arms up high
We're on our way now
Leave the Czar 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

Mastodon The Czar Comments
  1. k.... s....

    holy fuck that was insane!

  2. A.... ....

    “Spiraling up through the crack in the sky! Leaving the material world behind!” Best verse to come back strong from a breakdown ever!

  3. D.... G....

    this album...

  4. b.... �....

    Quite possibly one of the more boring songs I have ever listened too.

  5. A.... J....

    I wrote my novel Rosalind to this album. The GREATEST ever.

  6. S.... ....

    The part where Brann kicks in is so killer

    S.... ....

    That first riff too! Eurgh..

  7. S.... ....

    I just love this song, and the best part is from 00:01 to 10:53 It just hits me in the guts!

  8. D.... J....

    Things like that section from 07:00 to 09:00 sometimes make me believe that you need blessings of the dark lord himself to create awesome shit like that. It ain't just normal man to create something so perfect like that.

  9. D.... ....

    Solo is wicked

  10. M.... ....

    All you peeps who like that solo around 7:30 check out "Gypsy Woman" by Black Sabbath and hear were some of the influence probably came from.

  11. �.... �....

    Пошли нахуй

  12. �.... �....

    Всес хуйнец

  13. O.... S....

    Mastodon tiene que hacer el cover de wheel of comfusion de black sabbath, eso seria genial de escuchar!!

  14. T.... ....

    Crack the Skye is a top 10 hard rock/metal album of all time.


    Change my mind.

  15. P.... P....

    Brilliant guitar! 🎸🎸🎸

  16. V.... M....

    Sounds like Ozzy

  17. J.... B....

    Wonder why I never got into these guys sooner. They really kick ass, great music up and down

  18. R.... ....

    Id love to revisit this song and learn the second half but fuck me endurance is a problem. I don't get how these crazy motherfuckers can play more than 6 or 7 minutes without getting fatigued. I need a break once i hit the fucking 5 minute mark unless its pretty simple.

  19. A.... N....

    "Crack the Skye" was a fuckin' masterpiece from beginning to end!

  20. D.... ....

    That bass tone at 4:09 Wow

  21. M.... B....

    Learning this songs drums is ridiculous

  22. E.... H....

    This band still kicks ass

  23. c.... e....

    Hello ...

  24. v.... w....

    This song is absolutely amazing, a roller coaster ride of pure epicness

  25. C.... T....

    This song made me want to let the weed smoke me. Then make me have to edit my comment because I was too high.

  26. C.... a....

    Excellent song but the vocals in their early music are so reminiscent of Ozzy's!!!

  27. P.... P....

    Watched a loudwire list of albums that do not have a bad song on them! Guess what this was one of the albums! I have to agree! Oblivion was always a great song along with this one.

  28. J.... C....

    This songs last longer than most of my sexual encounters ...

    J.... C....

    That is just sad! Try tantric... lol

  29. P.... H....

    Wow I can't believe my 8am morning crap could be so amazingly epic wtf today is going to be deep dark and acid tripped over and over :)

  30. m.... L....

    jai cd très bon

  31. B.... N....

    Everything this band has done in there catalogue is pure gold. Right next to tool.

  32. I.... ....

    this song has bit itself into my chest. It's stuck in my headdddd in a good and bad way.

  33. J.... C....

    This band is incredible but the way their songs are mixed makes me dizzy.

  34. c.... p....

    I was hit in my leg with something hot at this concert right before the solo I looked to see what it was that hit me and behold it was Bill's pick it was still fucking hot when I picked it off the ground and sharper than a samurai sword on the side he was shredding on

  35. O.... ....

    7:19 reminds me of that arnold s movie commando

  36. J.... W....

    I'm the 666 subscriber

  37. I.... P....

    the solo came straight from Vol.4 fckn perfect

  38. B.... H....

    Quite possibly the greatest song ever conceived in the history of human existence.

  39. D.... P....

    7:11 - 8:11 FUCKING EPIC!!! my favorite part.

  40. a.... l....

    Seeing them for the first time tonight in dallas, hope this gets played, I need it

  41. D.... G....

    Im going to see them Wednesday and there playing this album in its entirety, cant wait for this show, im stoked!!!

    D.... G....

    Just went and seen em last week and I must say holy shit it was so much to take in with the actually performance and the visuals

  42. C.... S....

    I feel like I have heard this album before, it's the strangest feeling, hearing things for the first time but somehow knowing that this isn't the first time your soul has experienced something like this...

  43. E.... T....

    Mastodon was the 2nd act at a concert I went to and they played this. It melted my face and destroyed me. I could not put off buying their stuff afterwards.

  44. C.... P....

    How am I just finding out about this now....These guys are a mindgasm

  45. A.... A....

    Along with Schism by the Tool this is the second best damn song of the first quarter of the century, by far! And I doubt that it will be overthrown soon. I do hope so, but it seems so goddamn hard.

  46. D.... B....

    ya la escuche tanto que me dejo de gustar un poco

  47. D.... B....

    eso estuvo re loco

  48. D.... B....

    porque mi cara sale en la portada con cuerpo de sumerio?

  49. D.... B....

    este tema este re pro

  50. D.... B....

    me guto bastante este grupo de reggaeton

  51. D.... S....

    I'm so happy I went to the unheavenly Skye tour. Seeing these songs live completed a part of me. THANK YOU MASTODON

    D.... S....

    Me too, Went last night. Awesome.

  52. S.... ....

    Imagine being one of those metal gatekeepers who bitches that all contemporary metal sucks. Or one of those Mastodon gatekeepers who says that anything after Leviathan sucks. Imagine having not heard this masterpiece because you're that fucking retarded

  53. m.... ....

    Agreed its good, but sounds like Angry Chair at parts

  54. J.... A....

    currently just 55 views from 1 million.................

    J.... A....

    Just hit 1 million!

  55. J.... G....

    Who has 10:50 mins to listen to a song??? I gotta work!!! Just kidding.

  56. H.... H....

    wow, this is really trippy!

  57. J.... G....

    The best Mastodon song is whichever one you happen to be listening to at that moment

  58. i.... d....

  60. n.... n....

    Epic ,leave the material world behind...

  61. A.... P....

    So many Eloy elements. The boys have done a hell of a homework. incredible record

  62. Z.... ....

    Martyr is the best part. Idc what you say

  63. M.... K....

    I am going through a phase called..Mastodon

  64. K.... B....

    I met Brann before a show a few years ago in Niagara Falls. Most chill dude ever.

  65. E.... M....

    Good god even the outro is a fucking masterpiece.

  66. i.... ....

    Classic

  67. A.... D....

    Been listening to Mastodon for 6 years now it's so good I finally get to see them this summer with Coheed

    A.... D....

    None of the concerts on the tour are near wear I live >:( and they're playing the whole album front to back too!

  68. a.... s....

    essa música é foda.

  69. N.... ....

    Such an underrated classic. This and the Last Baron are legendary tracks

  70. A.... ....

    So good until they started singing!

    A.... ....

    For me this version is a 10/10 but the instrumental version is a 100000000000/10

  71. M.... G....

    ive been trying to persuade a person of mine that gojira is the greatest prog and generally metal band of the new era and then he blast me of with this banger
    Honestly i havent heard something so emotional and exotic from gojira but man i dont know who's toppin who!
    After all it doesn't matter it's music!

    M.... G....

    Gojira definitely in my top 10 bro but opeth is at 1 for me

    M.... G....

    The gift of guilt life is amazing, but Gojira doesn’t have as many standout badass riffs. Heaviest matter and flying whales are close tho. Both amazing bands tho

  72. p.... ....

    The Czar is also a phenomenal Russian imperial stout from Avery brewing company. P.S. Progressive rock fucking SUCKS!!!

  73. s.... m....

    The solo is one of my favorites.

  74. V.... ....

    i have been listening to this album since it came out and i keep finding things that ive never heard before, and getting new feelings from the meaning in the lyrics. it's been influencing my band hugely because of the very real subject of death and suicide.

  75. D.... R....

    5:42 the best groovy riff ever made in history of muzak

  76. K.... ....

    This is the song Olympian gods with big beards came up with out of an incredibly epic jamming session

  77. C.... ....

    I remember I spent 3 weeks trying to learn this song on guitar, about 4 hours a day

  78. t.... p....

    Drugs and musicians are always a recipe for success

  79. P.... L....

    Listening to Mastodon, especially Czar makes me believe I need to live in another universe to live in their music.

  80. D.... F....

    Has anyone ever noticed that the opening seconds of this are exactly the same as "Blue Jay Way" by The Beatles?
    https://youtu.be/Coz0TmK2ZIg
    Down to the key and everything. I wonder it's coincidental. Mastodon would do a AMAZING cover of that tune.

  81. S.... ....

    Those beginning organ notes are incredible and make my hairs stand on end. And when the vocals kick in.....pure bliss. Eleven minutes of progressive goodness.

  82. D.... ....

    By the light of the moon

  83. W.... W....

    I'm truly upset that I'm just finding mastadon now

    W.... W....

    Better late than never! Welcome! There's even a Mastodon Mayhem fan group on Facebook

  84. H.... M....

    Listen to that bass in the beginning..sounds eerie
    I love Troy “Colonel” Sanders

  85. J.... T....

    Literally my first time sitting down long enough to listen to Mastadon. What the FUCK have i been missing? This is like discovering Tool or Radiohead.

  86. N.... a....

    could someone pls explain the story behind the song?and the album?

  87. E.... T....

    È un capolavoro /,,/

  88. E.... D....

    god....good....

  89. A.... L....

    In a world where everyone listen to the same commercial songs over and over, there's people who cannot fit there, and we need great, awesome, different music to go on... then we get home, lights are off, we close our eyes, play this song and we finally feel we belong.

  90. L.... C....

    Czar guitar solo > Stairway to heaven guitar solo

    L.... C....

    Luca Calcagno no

  91. D.... F....

    Still likely the greatest song Mastodon has ever recorded - change my mind.

  92. M.... ....

    masterpiece

  93. S.... C....

    Fucking musical genius

  94. D.... S....

    This album is seriously from another realm.... idk how else to say it it's fucking amazing

  95. S.... L....

    4:36 Santa Claus

  96. K.... ....

    'Spiralling 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'
    Best part of the song IMO

    K.... ....

    It devastates me every time.
