![]() Find all songs and lyrics from the Mastodon - Emperor of Sand album on the one of the largest lyrics website. So to me, this song tells a story where a secretive clan recruits someone to "Give their live". In this story, the character being spoken to has suffered without a say or guidance: "Silent all you life. Clandestiny Silent all your life Running without vision Hollowed out inside Wronging all that's right There's no cost to be alive And no reason to escape from us There's no illness and no pain Haven't found any suffering The road is dark and bare No clarity, no light The moment came and swallowed us Blinding all our sight We will keep you free. Running without vision." "Wronging all that's right" suggests that the character is acting out because he/she was suffering.

These next few lines are how the "recruiter" describes the clan: "no illness and no pain", "Have not found any suffering". The recruiter describes how the environment for both of them is "dark and bare," with "no clarity, no light".

"Save your life" suggests the acting out from the beginning may have included downward spiraling / suicidal thoughts/ behavior. ![]() "It's all we need": we don't need your other unique aspects your "life" for the clan is all we need. This line also downplays "life", as if it was something fungible.Ī few things here. Growing beneath, our roots, so far will reach Programmed to destroy, our perfect soldier Forever the monster Our secrets held deep After the purge Their silence. "We can be above the ground": suggests they are living underground right now. Underground in a dark, silent environment. ![]() Maybe unveiling itself "above the ground" is another one of the clan's goals. "And devour your humanity": another way of saying "Give your life." "Follow me and follow sound to the end of your eternity": where, "eternity" was an infinite path the character being spoken to was on before, but by following "sound", the character now has a "destiny" or destination, bringing it back to the song title.
