Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see. But enough about the collective Judas. Who could deny you were the one who illuminated your little piece of the divine? And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me; I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way, Your way home Oh, what are they going to do when the lights go down, Without you to guide them all to Zion? What are they going to do when the rivers overrun, Other than tremble incessantly?

High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground. You were the light and the way they'll only read about. I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out. Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough; You're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high, Shake your fists at the gates saying: "I have come home now! Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.

Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended. It's time now! My time now! Give me my, give me my wings! Give me my Give me my! Give me my wings! You are the light and way that they will only read about. Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance, Burden of proof tossed upon the believers.

You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence, Judith Marie, unconditional one. Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents. Difficult to see you in this light. Please forgive this bold suggestion, but, Should you see your Maker's face tonight, Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him: "I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one. Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home. Add Your Thoughts Comments.

But a lot of people think that since he is perfect and they believe in him, they have to right to act perfect to. Completely wrong. I think that Maynard James just feels betrayed by the ones that he loves; his mother-died; the church-lying hypocrites.

That's what i think, that's what i personally got from the song. We will hear what we want to hear- if its religion-its religion, if its family and dead- then its family and death. It's defiantly a song to listen to and think about it. Take what you want from it. You all have inspired me thank you I believe it is a simple prayer for and about his mother to demand in his words the saving of his mothers soul to honor her beliefs. You were the light and the way that they'll only read about I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough You're goin home" The "chosen" the "faithful" the "people of god".

Tool is saying: religion is not scapegoat, or excuse. The worthy will go to heaven. Just because you believe doesn't mean you are safe from the fire. Discuss with me further: randomkidb rochester. You know, I'm a giant Tool fan. I have loved the shit out of Tool since they ever released their first album, I grew up as a teenager and now a young adult listening to their music and A Perfect Circle among other things.

I may not be the biggest fan ever, because I had no idea Judith Marie was his mother. I loved the shit out of this song for years and I always knew from listening to it that she was a real person, because the emotion contained within the song just bleeds reality.

But now after reading what it is truly about, I'm glad to confirm that this truly an amazing song, both parts of it. As most of you said, regardless of it's authors meaning, it means something different to everyone, and I think the complexity and the flexibility of the lyrical interpretations lend just as much as the amazing music to making it a truly wonderful song. I hope someone gets to read this. This is about his mother. His mother, the singers mother, had a stroke and Became paralized on the leftside leaving her wheelchair bound.

It had been 27years from the day she wAs in a wheelchair to the day she died. That is appeoximetly 10,days. This song is obvioulsy about her and how she stood strong and finally went home to heaven.

The lead singer is a vereerrrrrrrrrry talented song writer and I admire him for being so meaningful. This is a tragic song for a tragic ocassion. But if is cool how hecan take a situation and turn it into something so beautiful this song and part1and also the title of the album.

This song is about my life. How my brother chooses to fall in with society and culture while I dabble in shamanism. My mother, who I was ripped from at an early age was the one who always believed I would do great. I will take her light that has been dim for a long time and give it to the world.

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun.

But you need to talk to us, we can't help you otherwise. Now, what's happened? Tell me everything. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping Holy fucking shit! Then the X-Files being, Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa Did a slow-mo Matrix descent Outta the butt end of the banana vessel And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L.

Ron Hubbard upper lip, and all I could think was: "I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin' pants. And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E. He said, "You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not. The Chosen One? They chose me!!! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.

You'd better You'd better listen. Then he looked right through me With somniferous almond eyes Don't even know what that means Must remember to write it down This is so real Like the time Dave floated away See, my heart is pounding 'Cause this shit never happens to me. It was so real, Like I woke up in Wonderland.

All sorta terrifying I don't wanna be all alone While I tell this story. And can anyone tell me why Y'all sound like Peanuts parents? Will I ever be coming down? This is so real Finally, it's my lucky day See, my heart is racing 'Cause this shit never happens to me.

You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I've just said! See the Dead ain't touring And this wasn't all in my head. See, they took me by the hand And invited me right in. Then they showed me something I don't even know where to begin. Strapped down [to] my bed Feet cold [and] eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive?

Am I dead? Can't remember what they said God damn, shit the bed. Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position. Such a heavy burden now to be the One Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending, To write it down for all the world to see. Strapped down [to] my bed Feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive? I can't remember what they said to me Can't remember what they said to make me out to be the hero Can't remember what they said Bob help me!

Can't remember what they said. Pure as we begin Pure as we come in Pure as we begin Pure by will alone. Pure as we begin Here we have a stone Throw to stay the stranger Swore to crush his bones. Spark becomes a flame Flame becomes a fire Light the way or warm this Hope we occupy.

Spark becomes a flame Flame becomes a fire Forge a blade to slay the stranger Take whatever we desire. Pure as we begin Move by will alone Leave as we come in Pure as light, return to one. Angels on the sideline, Puzzled and amused.

Now they're all confused. Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys Where there's one you're bound to divide it right in two. Angels on the sideline, Baffled and confused. Father blessed them all with reason, And this is what they choose? Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground. Silly monkeys. Give them thumbs, they forge a blade, And where there's one they're bound to divide it right in two.

Give them thumbs, they make a club to beat their brother down. How they've survived so misguided is a mystery. Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here. Fight till they die over sun, over sky, They fight till they die over sea, over air, They fight till they die over blood, over love, They fight till they die over words, polarizing.

Angels on the sideline again, Benched along with patience and reason. Angels on the sideline again, Wondering where this tug of war will end.
