Silently just say your prays
And silence me, just stay out of my way

Just an idea

definitely hear

silence legion, say/stay your poison [usually hear say]
silently just stay out of my way

its either the catharsis of the song, a self-exorcism of the demons he's lamenting through the whole song, or an angry recognition of the ego (whose job it is to overcome obstacles in order to survive another day and season)... like when you're on a long road trip with someone you depend on but blame for everything wrong in your life... "fuck you and get in the car.", or, lastly, the ego itself interrupting the meditative optimism of the song. this might be most likely since it seems the one theme connecting all the songs is humanity's failure to live up to its potential.

anyways,

to distinguish these sounds there are three main spots i listened to:

silen(1)ce legion, say your poison
silen(2)tly(3)just stay out of my way

at 1, you can hear a "sss", a soft ending. this indicates silence, not silent.
at 2, you hear no "sss" but the hard hit of a "t". thus not silence but silent/ly.
at 3, there is an accent, an emphasis. this is what makes people hear leech. however, if it's leech, then he's emphasizing an empty syllable - reznor/capital G style: "silent leech-UH stay out of my way," as opposed to "silently JUST stay out of my way". so not unheard of, but i got brandish occam's razor on this one.

nobody reads long posts.

I have up on this until the "officials" are released

everyone needs to go see them live. I just saw them at bonnaroo. Maynard made it a point to pronounce all the debated parts of jambi. i don't feel it appropriate to actually tell you all what the right words are...its kind of funny watching you all argue about it..but none or most of you are wrong. cheers

"all" not "none"

And how delightfully retarded of you to make an asshole lackluster comment as such.

Well, I suppose I will be the one to set the thread straight. I think leech or legion is still a great choice of words for that portion of the song. It seems it could really go either way, I agree with BlanketEffect on his view about legion but leech could also work because one might associate a leech with poison, (They do secrete a numbing chemical so they can remain attached without being noticed by their host), but either one is a good choice. It seems to sound a little bit more like leech to me but the mood of the song would make sense if it was legion. Its one of my favorite parts of the song because of the pure intensity.

"I'm gonna be the one that said I told you so."

Wow, good timing. What's that, um 8mos later

Better late than never.
