Who's the man who stole fire for the people?
Who causes trembling in the bones of evil?
Who carved a mountain into a cathedral?
I am immortal
Half-blind and spitting straight into the wind
Down, down
Trying to drag me down
It's all right
I go to dreaming
I said it's all right
I, liquefying
(Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years)
The blood of lions
(Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years)
I ain't dying
(Dog years)
I am immortal
Who rides the solar cycle with no hands ma?
Who found the Ark inside Texarkana?
Who asks the questions that have no answers?
Half-blind and spitting straight into the wind
Down, down
Trying to drag me down
Down
Down
(Dog years, dog years, dog years)
(Dog years, dog years, dog years)
I am immortal
I am immortal
I am immortal
In dog years ...
Blood of lions
(Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years)
I, liquefying
(Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years)
I ain't dying
(Dog years)
I am immortal

WHY HAS NO ONE COMMENTED ON HERE? Man, this song rules. Whenever I play Hitman Contracts and I'm on the biker mission and I go into the strip club, this song pumps my nads so hard.
This song is classic Clutch style. Niel's songwriting and tone combine to make an epic sounding story, yet mocking itself: 'I am immortal... in dog years'. His voice is so awesome he can make anything sound so... legendary.
I believe this is a satirical song as well, mocking rap songs that are all claims of how tough, ruthless, womanizing etc they are.
On a sidenote they opened with this song 7/22 in San Francisco it was so awesome.. After the show I was waiting for the BART train and some drunk guy was yelling at a mouse on the traintracks 'Hey you fucking mouse! Clutch rules! I am immortal!' Struck me as funny.
I'm always reminded of the DC character "Lobo" whenever I hear this song, and I'm not entirely sure why.
It's a song or even a prayer of empowerment against the most adverse conditions, to "dig deep" and transcend your own frailties and move forward regardless of who or what gets in your way. That we are all unstoppable when we set our minds to it. That you won't let nothing or no one get you down.
The song "Immortal" was originally released with different lyrics and arrangement as the song "Baby I'm Down" by Leslie West on his debut album Mountain. Clutch rearranged it and changed the lyrics somewhat, and it features a guitar solo by the original author, Leslie West, on it, who then had his band 'Mountain' cover this Clutch version on their Mystic Fire album the following year.
