About the song:

Imagine if the sounds of Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Alice in Chains, and Black Sabbath collided and created a fresh blend of a high-energy and straight-forward groove resulting in punch-in-your-face sonic expression. This song is all about that!"

lyrics

VERSE:

I'm down in this motion o’ flow ‘cause
I'm dry skin and heavy weight paws
I've gotta pound down the path of the rival
Guided to spoon with my fantasies' idol

I stare, on my way I go
It’s clear to me so I’ll keep going on
Step by step, on my pace I move
And when you feel it, you’ll know it’s good

CHORUS:

The elephant's paw
Marching on a plain
To a castle made of sand
That's who I am

2nd VERSE:

From far away, a chroma display
Perverts these eyes and nurtures my inner grey
And though they say: “a fool and a prey”
Well, call me The Elephant! That's my name.

I hold my staff, and faster I move
Shaking the earth on a big stepping groove
Step by step, I'm closer to you
And when you feel it, It’s so damn good

CHORUS:

The elephant's paw
Marching on a plain
To a castle made of sand
That's who I am

BRIDGE:

Blowing hard and splashing luscious dust
Walls may rock, but it won’t fall
I won’t fall

2nd BRIDGE:

Blowing hard and splashing luscious dust
Walls may rock, but I won’t fall

Shock waves brush away these temple walls
Fortress’ gone and won’t be found
I’m no more
