Mastodon – Dry Bone Valley lyrics
Head down running from the beast
Break neck speed taking all my breath
Black feet scraped and scarred and dripping blood
Rain come down take me with your flood

I came to, and I was running from you
Feel your breath on the back of my neck

Where have I
Come to be
Is this all
That's left for me

I wish that I was still there
I want to keep on breathing

Bulls roar loud
Snakes move past my feet
No teeth, no hands've set me free
Bones start rattling 'round inside my head
I don't know if I'm alive or dead


I came to and I was running from you
Feel your breath on the back of my neck

Where have I
Come to be
Is this all
That's left for me

I wish that I was still there
I want to keep on breathing

Dig deep kicking up rock and dirt and sand
Out of this lifeless valley, bones in hand
Over these mountains to the seas of life
Leave this desert for the sick and damned

    My interpretation of the lyrics is someone running, escaping from a biblical flood running through 'dry bone valley' - "rain come down take me with your flood" - "feel your breath on the back of my neck" (the water) - "i want to keep on breathing" (instead of drowning) - "bulls roar loud, snakes move past my feet" (wildlife running away from the flood as well).
    I believe that "running from the beast" means running/escaping death (and the flood).

    This song makes me think of the many prophets and heros in real life and fiction who go into the desert in search of something, the beginning "breakneack speed" and being unable to deal with the current situation running from problems, and the ending apon reaching dry bone valley to dig in the earth for what you came to find.
