Lyrics

[00:02.00] Gojira - The Way Of All Flesh
[00:08.00]
[00:23.84] Anything that has a shape will crumble away, disappear
[00:29.71] We belong to the circle life of all creation
[00:34.48] We crawl and deny ourselves, refuse this evidence
[00:40.34] That we project our greatest fears on death and forget our power
[00:45.58]
[00:55.99] I want to live my life in close touch with the sacred
[01:01.73] Pacify the disturbances of the mind
[01:05.75] I face my own death
[01:08.02]
[01:28.66] Lower and lower is the pressure,
[01:34.12] I can feel the parts of me collapsing one into the other
[01:39.70] Higher state of consciousness awaken,
[01:44.67] I can see the light of this next world
[01:48.49] Leading my soul reborn
[01:51.80]
[02:16.71] I find it hard to believe that this picture on the wall is everything
[02:23.57] I do understand all the prayers, life is so sharp and hurts so bad
[02:28.74] What does it mean to be dying,
[02:34.30] what if you take the guts and brain away
[02:38.06] Is it this blood and heartbeat that you call life
[02:42.97]
[03:05.68] Every effort to ignore it is unavailing we all have to die
[03:13.32] Is it too late to dull the edges of the pain, I have to try
[03:18.72] This is an other dimension
[03:23.81] You can scatter ashes to the winds
[03:27.74] and even buried in the ground I'm still here
[03:34.20]
[03:35.00] Do not be afraid you are dying
[03:37.93] And the four great elements of your body are collapsing one into the other
[03:43.70] It feels as if you are being crushed by mountains
[03:47.80] The light of this world has faded completely
[03:51.17] But the light of the next world have not yet appeared
[03:53.33]
[03:54.23] Your breath is now still, no warmth to your skin
[04:15.69] Do not be afraid, there's no way that you can stay here
[04:37.81] You are leaving this world
[04:47.44] All lights are fading away now
[04:58.49] Leave behind the loved ones and all you know
[05:09.76] Do not be afraid and let yourself go
[05:22.72]
