Mouth of Kala Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a river of time
Let us worship this god of destruction

On nothing, we can rely
All is gone, belong to the past
You should learn by the time
Everything changing over and over
We're all falling so fast
Keep on burning

[Chorus]
Overwhelming power
Keep on burning, change

[Verse 2]
The old me didn't survive
Inexorable transfiguration
There is something at war
This red tainted flash on the wall
I'm nowhere to be found
Nothing matters, truth out of sight
In the air I dissolve
I'm fading away

[Chorus]
Overwhelming power
Keep on burning, change

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The word “kālá” in Sanskrit is translated to “time.” Furthermore, it also serves as another name for the Hindu god Yama, the god of death, time, and destruction.

This marks the second song Gojira has made in reference to Yama, the first being Yama’s Messengers from the previous album.
