Lyrics to Fortitude [The Best Alternative Metal Album] by Gojira

Tracklist: 01. Born For One Thing [Verse 1] Mortal, spawn on the altar Caught in the heart of the blaze The primal fear of disappearing Becoming a ghost in the void (Death) [Verse 2] Give a price, put a name None of it real in this matter Wandering, distracting Wishing the life of another self [Chorus] We were born for one thing Tame the greatest fear of all We were born for one thing Born to face the greatest fear of all [Verse 3] We're all drawn into oursеlves In a collective coma Rеmember gazing up for answers But now we're staring down (Down) (Down) (Down) (All is blur in the maze we put an end to all) (All is blur in the maze we put an end to all) [Chorus] We were born for one thing Tame the greatest fear of all We were born for one thing Born to face the greatest fear of all [Bridge] We're no one United When we're gone 02. Amazonia [Verse 1] Incite a riot, put yourself in a trance You rotate the frame in a world you rely on A scar, a line has been drawn in the sand Behold the life, the boundaries fools will crush [Chorus] The greatest miracle Is burning to the ground [Verse 2] Onto the next stage of the plan Mourn the witness of the wind A handful of thunder Will rise one last time [Chorus] There's fire in the sky You're in the Amazon The greatest miracle Is burning to the ground [Post-Chorus] Godly Amazonia Bloody Amazonia Mighty Amazonia Killing Amazonia Godly Amazonia Bloody Amazonia Mighty Amazonia Killing Amazonia Godly Amazonia Bloody Amazonia [Bridge] Burn The land Learn The end Burn Another gold mine is unveiled The source of our sorrow Learn Embedded in these walls of green Is the curse that we follow [Chorus] There's fire in the sky You're in the Amazon The greatest miracle Is burning to the ground 03. Another World [Verse 1] We mock and slaughter all the purest kinds Blinded by the noise and maze, this flash in our eyes Hope for the world, but prepare for the worst I'd rather find a way on my own [Chorus] Another world Another place to be Other world A new place for me [Verse 2] Don't believe your lies, don't believe your tales I'm longing for the day I will find [Chorus] Another world Another place to be Other world A new place for me [Chorus] Another world Another place to be Other world A new place for me 04. Hold On! I've been grinding and grinding O! Ocean have mercy I've been grinding and grinding O! Ocean have mercy I give you my life O! Son of the Sun I've been rowing and rowing No sign of land so far in the flood I've been through fire and wind I'm hanging, feet in the depth Drowning all day long, in an ocean of stress Gotta find a safety raAAAAAAft, another wave is striking down Hold on! Fight! We are are merely grabbing on to... Hold on! Fight! Unconscious ride around the core In a matter of time, you're out in the open You shall prove yourself in the bitter end But for now, brace yourself! Hold on! Fight! We are merely grabbing on to... Hold on! Fight! Unconscious ride around the core When you witness death you understand your demise And you may embrace your destiny the fate of all And maybe when we die we rise, high, find a ground And we return where we belong Elders, deep under Shelter, land! Fight! We are merely grabbing on to life Fight! One last attempt to break the code... Hold on! Fight! We are are merely grabbing on to... Hold on! Fight! Unconscious ride around the core Hold on! Fight! Hold on tight! Hold on! Fight! Hold on tight! 05. New Found Long lost illusions, left a hole You're filling the pond, a specter of the past A pale light is keeping you awake And dragging your skull, a pointless ritual Make things right, straighten up the lies You've been telling yourself all along Look straight up it's right in front of you A vision through the reeds, a reason to go on New found splendor in the sky New found land across the sea The long days you've had, enough to figure out What it is you dig and what you're bleeding for A bright light, now making you alive Connecting the dots, a brand new ritual New found vision through the veil New found colors for the blind New found splendor in the sky New found land across the sea New found vision through the veil New found colors for the blind New found splendor in the sky New found land across the sea New found New found New found New found We're all on the same boat, we're going down We're all on the same boat, we're going high 06. Fortitude [Instrumental] 07. The Chant You were told to swallow, crawl, and hide Victims of fear and deception Get a hold of yourself, rise above The better part of you, immortal May this purple spring flow into your soul Exhausting all these black holes inside Wake up to the sound of doom Let this chant ring in your bones and lift you up Get strong Get strong Get strong Get strong Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up, wake up Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky Wake up to the sound of doom 08. Sphinx Call upon the wise one to remember the chords The truth buried alive since the dawn of time Was it all for nothing? Great watcher of the soul Rid the world of its blindfold, make us real again! Carved in lime stone That's all there is, facing the lion Become one You stand still, the voice of silence Remain one Express your will, you will be rewarded For all thoughts become reality May we learn from the old one Standing tall in the sand Witness erosion, the rise and fall of men Carved in lime stone That's all there is, facing the lion Become one You stand still, the voice of silence Remain one Become one The savior has arrived The savior has a name Carved in lime stone You become one Facing the lion You become one 09. Into The Storm [Intro] Go [Verse 1] Say something about awakening The rebellion you felt before Wake, change your course Laws will follow Restart, reactivate the core [Chorus] Rise Yeah, you come out You're awake now Put your fist in the air You were hiding Now you throw yourself Into the storm [Verse 2] Stand Gather your strength, raise your eyes Fear not the demons you're up against [Chorus] Now that you dove down Found the bottom begging for air How sad, how long it takes us to rise and fight Yeah, you come out You're awake now Put your fist in the air You were hiding Now you throw yourself Into the storm [Bridge] Flames Dancing in the open You step into the light You step into the light [Chorus] Now that you dove down Found the bottom begging for air How sad, how long it takes us to rise and fight Yeah, you come out You're awake now Put your fist in the air You were hiding Now you throw yourself Into the storm [Outro] Storm Into the storm Storm 10. The Trails All that you see that is gold is truly gold I spotted through the vines, a deer in the wild Signs in the trails Beyond the reason Eye-gazing the unknown, defeating the ground This passage through the flames, leads me where the souls go Signs in the dreams Beyond the reason We're forced into the light How can we be so blind? Our light is torn How can we be so lame? No truth being told Signs in the trails Beyond the reason All that you see that lives truly is alive Let us stay awake reminded of the trails that matter 11. Grind Surrender to the grind Embrace the laws that make you cringe You will be fixed in no time If you go all the way Grind! Grind! We're wandering in chaos Forget about which reality is real Eternal quest to resolve Our struggle with gravity You're all shredded, you're all scarred Fighting the tide Your tough face on, you think you'll last long Against the grain? Go! Surrender to the grind Obey! Surrender to the grind The only way Grind! Grind! Grind!
