"Golden Spires" lyrics - MASTODON

[Verse 1: Troy Sanders]
The air has thickened all I breathe
The dance of anger calls to me
Peril approaching from every side
Shedding the feather so I can fly

[Pre-Chorus: Brann Dailor]
Led to the slaughter with open arms
See all the faces, they greet you with smiles
Little by little they chip away
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: Troy Sanders]
Free yourself to live
All I know
Free yourself to live

[Pre-Chorus: Brann Dailor]
Knowing the evils that lie below
Fires that burn from the annals of time
Soil is writhing with worms and woe
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: Troy Sanders]
Free yourself to live
All I know
Free yourself to live

[Verse 2: Troy Sanders]
The darkness always wins
The time is less than what you think
Let go of the plague you call faith
And fly when sparrows take you away

[Bridge: Brann Dailor]
I've seen gold fires
Burning and twisting their bones
Destroy incantation of souls
I've seen gold fires
Robbing the sun from the sky
Animal spirits arise

[Guitar Solo: Nick Johnston]

[Chorus: Troy Sanders]
Free yourself to live
All I know
Free yourself to live
Free yourself to live
Free yourself to live

[Outro: Brann Dailor]
I've seen gold fires
Burning and twisting their bones
Destroy incantation of souls
I've seen gold fires
Robbing the sun from the sky
Animal spirits arise
