Shouldn't that be

as in the common saying "set in my ways"?

I agree, I hear "collective".....


it could be Judas though, Judas... Judith... so close.

EDIT: After listening more closely, I hear the whole line as "But enough about the collective Judas" this makes more sense in terms of the line before it... speaking of the "fibbers in the congregation..."

. . . nothing but the COLLECTIVE Judas could deny you were the one who would have made it, You'll have a piece of the divine . . .

A collective Judas would have uber-denial power.

i too lost my mother last year of a re-growth of cancer after she battled breast cancer 5 years ago. she lived for 10 months fighting for her life through various stages of mobility, and at one point fought it off to the point where she could walk , 4 months after we were told she would die in the night. Writing this and listening to the song brings tears to my eyes and this expresses many things about my feeling towards my mother that i could not. a very special piece of art.

This song has brought me to tears every time I listen to it. Everything that was poured into this song blows me away every time. I think this is probably Tool's best song at this point in time. I'm really really really impressed.

What are they going to do when the rivers overrun

this line right here is so amazing, the way mjk sings it, it gets me choked up. So emotional, so beautiful. wow

Yeah, that line and the "I only pray God knows when to lift you out". He sorta... not exactly "mumbles"... but the words sorta jumble together.... like he's barely keeping his composure.

youll have a piece of the divine,

this little light of mine, it gives your past unto me,
ill let it shine,
to guide you safely on your way,
your way home

ohh, what are they going to do when the lights go down
without you guide them home to zion

what are they going to do when the river is overrun
other than tremble incessantly,

high as a wave but ill rise on up off/on the ground

You are the light and the wave, they've only read about

i only pray, god only knows when to lift you out?

10000 days in the fire is long enough, your going home.

your the only one who can hold your head up high,
shake your fist 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. its time now, my time now,
give me my, give me my, wings"

give me my x5
give me my wings

heyyyyyyyyyhooooooooooooooooooooo
You are the light and the wave, they've only read about

set/said as i am in my wings and my arrogance,
burnin all through tossed upon the believers

you were my witness,
my eyes, my evidence,
judith marie, unconditional one

daylight dims, leaving cold flouresence, difficult to see you in this light,
please forgive this, bold suggestion, should you see your maker's face tonight,
look em in the eye, look em in the eye, and tell them, i never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one, hallelujah, its time for you to bring me home.


i know theres kinks. edit if you find them, please?
Whew! this gives me chills ...so fucking gorgeous

fading all the trials and the tribulations,
none of us have actually been there,
not like you,

ignorant fibbers in the congregation,

none of them can even hold a candle up to you
blinded by choices hippocrites wont seek,

who could deny you were the one who would have made it,
youll have a piece of the divine,

this little light of mine, it gives your past unto me,
ill let it shine,
to guide you safely on your way,
your way home

ohh, what are they going to do when the lights go down
without you guide them home to zion

what are they going to do when the river is overrun
other than tremble incessantly,

high as a wave but ill rise on up off/on the ground

You are the light and the wave, they've only read about

i only pray, god only knows when to lift you out?

10000 days in the fire is long enough, your going home.

your the only one who can hold your head up high,
shake your fist 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. its time now, my time now,
give me my, give me my, wings"

give me my x5
give me my wings

heyyyyyyyyyhooooooooooooooooooooo
You are the light and the wave, they've only read about

set/said as i am in my wings and my arrogance,
burnin all through tossed upon the believers

you were my witness,
my eyes, my evidence,
judith marie, unconditional one

daylight dims, leaving cold flouresence, difficult to see you in this light,
please forgive this, bold suggestion, should you see your maker's face tonight,
look em in the eye, look em in the eye, and tell them, i never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one, hallelujah, its time for you to bring me home.


i know theres kinks. edit if you find them, please?
Whew! this gives me chills ...so fucking gorgeous

wow...
instead of
"listen to the tales as we all rationalize
our way into the arms of a savior"

imagine:
listen to the tales as we all ratio out lies
our way into the arms of a savior

this makes sense if you think like a jahova's witness

also,
"this little light of mine, it gives your past unto me,
ill let it shine,
to guide you safely on your way,
your way home"

i think that my version makes more sense...
the "light" is the gift of god, or the gift of jesus...
"i wont let it shine but guide you safely on your way home.."
makes sense if you consider that his followers pretty much layed down and let him be crucified.


i think i'm right...

listen to the tales and romanticize,
how we follow the path of the hero
boast about the day when the rivers overun
how we rised to the height of our halo

listen to the tales as we all rationalize
our way into the arms of a savior,
failing all the trials and the tribulations,
none of us have actually been there,
not like you,

ignorant fibbers in the congregation,
gather around spewing sympathy,
spare me,
none of them can even hold a candle up to you
blinded by choices hyppocrites wont seek,

but not for the collective judas,
who could deny you were the one who would have made it,
your little piece of the divine,

this little light of mine, the gift you past unto me,
i won't let it shine,
but guide you safely on your way,
your way home

ohh, what are they going to do when the lights go down
without you to guide them home to zion

what are they going to do when the rivers overrun
other than tremble incessantly,

give me my, give me my, wings"

give me my...
give me my...
give me my...
give me my...
give me my...
give me my wings

heyyyyyyyyyhooooooooooooooooooooo
You are the light, the way, that they willll only read about

set as i am in my ways and my arrogance,
burnin all through, tossed upon the believers

you were my witness,
my eyes, my evidence,
judith marie, unconditional one

daylight dims, leaving cold flouresence,
difficult to see you in this light,
please forgive this, bold suggestion,
should you see your maker's face tonight,
look em in the eye, look em in the eye, and tell em,
i never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one,
hallelujah, its time for you to bring me home.


the only line that REALLY bother me is "burning all through tossed upon the believers"
it just doesnt set right with me.

correction for this verse:
Quote:
but nothing but the ? of judas,
who could deny you were the one who would have made it,
youll have a piece of the divine,
he's saying 'collect' as in "the collect of judas". it's a religious term:

Quote:
(KOLL-ekt) A concisely written prayer that "collects" the prayers of the people. The Collect of the Day is prayed toward the beginning of the Divine Service, prior to the reading of Holy Scripture. The collect usually follows a pattern of: address to God, basis for the prayer, petition, desired benefit or result, and Trinitarian termination.
he's saying that the minister that these people pray with is Judas, hence they are all liar and betrayers like Judas and hence they fit right in with him.

listen to the tales and romanticize
how we follow the path of the hero

boast about the day when the rivers overrun
how we rise to the height of our halo

listen to the tales as we irrationalize [rationalize / all ration out lies] ???
Our way into the arms of the savior
failing all the trials and the tribulations

none of us have actually been there
not like you

the ignorant fit within the congregation [see note 1 below]
gather around spewing sympathy
spare me

none of them could even hold a candle up to you
blinded by choices hypocrites
wont see

but nothing but the collect of Judas [see note 2 below]
who could deny you were the one who illuminated
your little piece of the divine

this little light of mine
the gift you passed on to me
i won't let it shine, but guide you safely on your way
your way home...

what are they going to do when the light goes down
without you you to guide them all to zion?

what are they gonna 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

10000 days in the fire is long enough [see note 3 below]
you're going home

you're the only one who can hold your head up high
shake your fist at the gates sayin'
"i have come home now fetch me the spirit, the son and the father,
tell them their pillar of faith has ascended

"its time now, my time now, give me my, give me my wings!"

"give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my wings...."

you are the light, the way, that they will only read about

set as i am in my ways and my arrogance
burning on through talks to Paul and believers [see note 4 below]
you were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one

daylight dims, leaving cold flouresence
difficult to see you in this light
please forgive this, bold suggestion
should you see your maker's face tonight
look em in the eye, look em in the eye, and tell em
i never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one
hallelujah, its time for you to bring me home...

Makes a lot of sense to me
Allow me to make another suggestion:

No, Judas makes no sense.....although it may sound like it. Judas was known to be the onw whom betrayed Jesus.

Reread it like so:

Blinded by choices hypocrites won't see but,
nothing but the collective Judith,
who could deny, you were the one who would've even made it,
you're a piece of the divine
