Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro - Distant waves, wind chimes, soft acoustic guitar] [Ethereal whisper] High above the clouds... where the mountains float... A god is sleeping... in an octopus' coat... [Verse 1 - Gentle folk picking, dreamy vocals] I drift above the treetops where the air is thin and sweet My skin is moss and ancient bark, my tentacles are fleet They call me Yama Tsukami, the monster that eats mountains I sip the clouds like morning dew from everlasting fountains My belly's full of rock and tree, of rivers I have swallowed The villages below me think their luck has somehow hollowed But I don't mean to cause them harm, I'm just a hungry soul I eat the land, I float away—that's how I stay whole [Pre-Chorus - Building gently] Float... float... float... float... Drifting on an ocean breeze Float... float... float... float... I am calm, I am at ease... [Chorus - Folk harmonies, gentle swell] YAMA TSUKAMI! ISLAND IN THE SKY! YAMA TSUKAMI! WATCH THE HUNTERS CRY! YAMA TSUKAMI! TREES GROW ON MY BACK! YAMA TSUKAMI! NATURE'S HEART ATTACK! [Verse 2 - More instruments join, still gentle] They climb aboard my mossy form, they think I haven't noticed They dig their hooks into my flesh, they think they're being boldest But when I breathe my cloud of spores, they cough and choke and stumble I'm not aggressive, I'm not mean—I'm just a little humble I let them carve my rocky skin, I let them take my ore I know they need it for their gear, I've seen it all before But when they reach my heart too deep, I start to gently sink Back into the cloudline—gone before they blink [Pre-Chorus 2] Float... float... float... float... Higher than the eagles fly Float... float... float... float... I am cloud, I am the sky... [Chorus] YAMA TSUKAMI! ISLAND IN THE SKY! YAMA TSUKAMI! WATCH THE HUNTERS CRY! YAMA TSUKAMI! TREES GROW ON MY BACK! YAMA TSUKAMI! NATURE'S HEART ATTACK! [Bridge - Psychedelic interlude, sitar, flute] [Spoken, dreamlike] They ask me why I float... Why I eat the mountains whole... Why I never touch the ground... [Long pause] ...the ground is so... heavy. [Flute Solo - Ethereal, trippy, bird sounds] [Breakdown - Gentle stomp, hand drums] LEFT TENTACLE! (SWAY!) RIGHT TENTACLE! (SWAY!) ALL TENTACLES! (SWAY!) FLOAT AWAY! UPWARD! (DRIFT!) DOWNWARD! (LIFT!) SIDEWAYS! (SHIFT!) NATURE'S GIFT! [Final Chorus - More psychedelic, harmonies layered] YAMA TSUKAMI! (YAMA TSUKAMI!) ISLAND IN THE SKY! (IN THE SKY!) YAMA TSUKAMI! (YAMA TSUKAMI!) WATCH THE HUNTERS CRY! (WATCH THEM CRY!) YAMA TSUKAMI! (YAMA TSUKAMI!) TREES GROW ON MY BACK! (ON MY BACK!) YAMA TSUKAMI! (YAMA TSUKAMI!) NATURE'S HEART AT— (Sudden stop) [Outro - Gentle acoustic, fading wind] [Whispered] I saw a hunter once... Who stayed behind when the others left... He just sat on my back... watching the clouds... ...I let him stay. [Wind picks up] ...he's still there. [Final sound - Bird call, distant thunder, then silence]
