I burned out my eyes
I cut off my tongue
I sealed them with all of the silver
And now I have none
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the
You own the darkness
And taken my sight
You buried the stars underground
You've stolen the night
You can run to the sea
You can run to the forest
You can hide, but you'll never escape
You've run out of lies
You've run out of time
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the sun
I cut off my tongue
I sealed them with all of the silver
And now I have none
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the
You own the darkness
And taken my sight
You buried the stars underground
You've stolen the night
You can run to the sea
You can run to the forest
You can hide, but you'll never escape
You've run out of lies
You've run out of time
You killed the life
You took the diamond
You killed the vine
Death of the sun

I heard in an interview with the drummer that the song was about a parrot as they have black tongues. Being Mastodon a think the lyrics really are up for interpretation of the listener and that was probably just the inspiration for the title ;)
