I can’t help but keep saying - Gojira is fantastic musically, but their lyrics separate them from others. This is a song about exploring inwards, and finding that the forces and motives we often attribute to others (violence, the quest for material, etc.) is within ourselves as well. It’s an unsparing look at himself - at his own ‘monster’ within: A deep voice is rising from the heart of the mountain Vibrations of the stone I can hear in my heart The call of instinct, the flight of the powerful I hunger for it, it just keeps me alive I met the dragon in a cave by the mountain Now I bring the evidence the beast is alive This ageless army will strike in the morning And then a star will rise and shine in the sky But I grow impatient, cannot stand the wait And I start to dig within me this tunnel to I In this region of me, a great dragon is lying On the wealth of a mighty world, my own world inside I saw, I saw monsters And I, and I started, started to dig within When I, when I turn my Turn my back on them, they devour me In this region of Me, a dragon is lying there awake Monster, monster kings, do Do not scorn them, but do not fear them, no Muster, muster thy army, army Dragons are the myth alive In the heart of men
This video is what got me into Gojira many years ago. That opening riff is filthy.
Gojira are fucking amazing man!

A deep voice is rising from the heart of the mountain
Vibrations of the stone I can hear in my heart
The call of instinct, the flight of the powerful
I hunger for it, it just keeps me alive
I met the dragon in a cave by the mountain
Now I bring the evidence the beast is alive
This ageless army will strike in the morning
And then a star will rise and shine in the sky
But I grow impatient, cannot stand the wait
And I start to dig within me this tunnel to I
In this region of me, a great dragon is lying
On the wealth of a mighty world, my own world inside
I saw, I saw monsters
And I, and I started, started to dig within
When I, when I turn my
Turn my back on them, they devour me
In this region of
Me, a dragon is lying there awake
Monster, monster kings, do
Do not scorn them, but do not fear them, no
Muster, muster thy army, army
Dragons are the myth alive
In the heart of men
Absolutely great reaction 👍
