    All eyes forward
    See what's to be done
    Calloused as I am becoming
    Less and less of my own
    If I burn the bridges
    Leaving the ash behind
    There's no choice but to move on
    Within a heartbeat the dream is dead
    All that I have sacrificed is leaving me and letting go now
    I don't want to leave you here alone among the wind and weeping
    Circles I've broken
    Once, they seemed so clear
    Leaving the past I buried
    Deep in yesteryear
    This will bring back memories
    That I don't want anymore
    Always see reminders
    And now I close the door
    The illusion's gone, the end is here
    All that I have sacrificed is leaving me and letting go now
    I don't want to leave you here alone among the wind and weeping
    If I could crawl beneath the earth and settle with the worms and dirt
    I'd steal the eyes of serpents soothing powers from the deep blue sea
    Is this just our fortune or unexpected fate?
    A betterment for all
    The trials we made are troubling, they smother me
    Lay me bare to dry
    Begging me to call it quits and go for broke
    Bury me as I fall
    To treat you as a part of me, it hollows you
    The story has to fold

      There is definitely something special about this track. Was telling my wife that Oblivion was such a particular part in my life, I'm sometimes sad I can't hear it again for the first time.
      This album, and this song especially, brings so much force with it. It gives me goosebumps. I went and listened to Blood and Thunder, and it was like seeing someone grow from youth into maturity.
      Just that first chorus break
      - WITHOUT A HEARTBEAT, THE DREAM IS DEAD
      - ALL THAT I HAVE SACRIFICED IS LEAVING ME, AND LETTING GO, NOW
      Just over and over, it's colossal. Bands spend their whole careers trying to make something that sounds like this.

    To state this song is a "power ballad" is the understatement of a lifetime. This is that song for the one person...that soulmate that you never ended up with...that haunts your every breathing moment...that you long for in your dreams, but know you have to let go. The opening notes tear at your heart. The lyrics crush every fiber of your being. In the 49 years I have been alive, not once, has a song ever literally tore me apart to the deepest recesses of my core...and healed the same core of a longing never to be realized.

    Mastodon - Eyes of Serpents Lyrics
    All eyes forward
    See what's to be done
    Calloused as I am becoming
    Less and less of my own
    If I burn the bridges
    Leaving the ash behind
    There's no choice but to move on
    Within a heartbeat the dream is dead
    All that I have sacrificed is leaving me and letting go now
    I don't want to leave you here alone among the wind and weeping
    Circles I've broken
    Once, they seemed so clear
    Leaving the past I buried
    Deep in yesteryear
    This will bring back memories
    That I don't want anymore
    Always see reminders
    And now I close the door
    The illusion's gone, the end is here
    All that I have sacrificed is leaving me and letting go now
    I don't want to leave you here alone among the wind and weeping
    If I could crawl beneath the earth and settle with the worms and dirt
    I'd steal the eyes of serpents soothing powers from the deep blue sea
    Is this just our fortune or unexpected fate?
    A betterment for all
    The trials we made are troubling, they smother me
    Lay me bare to dry
    Begging me to call it quits and go for broke
    Bury me as I fall
    To treat you as a part of me, it hollows you
    The story has to fold

    You're the Green Boots of bands - always at or near the top of the mountain. This has already become a favorite. It's too good for radio, but it feels like it should be a radio classic.

    I can’t remember the last time that I have liked a song enough on the first listen to go to youtube and comment on the video. This song is absolutely spectacular, and so is the rest of the album. But this track in particular is one of the best ones I have heard from Mastodon (or any other band) period.

    Every mastodon album is a masterpiece equivalent to the ambient subconscious of a mastodon thawing from a frozen state to the point of almost melting back to life to then be frozen and be taken on an excursion of timelessness over and and over again, thousands of years apart. Each time during "The Thaw" we hear the power of the mastodons wisdom call to the wilderness.
