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
I really really thought he was saying Judith... but I just had my ear up to the speaker and had it pretty loud, and I could hear an 'sss' sound, so I think it's Judas.

OK guys... I think this is it. Thanx to you all for your contributions.



Listen to the tales and romanticize
How we follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we rised to the height of our halo

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Fading 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 hypocrites won't seek

But, enough about the collective, Judas
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated my piece of the divine

This little light of mine, the gift you passed onto me
I'll 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 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 lives are on the ground
You are 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 x5
Give me my wings!

You are the light and way that they will only read about.

Safe 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 fluorescence
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this bold suggestion:
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, its time for you to bring me home."

Damnit....

now the two beers in me are letting me hear:

"Safe AS I am in my wings and my arrogance"

He's saying "Safe as" really close together. I thought maybe he was saying "Yes, I know what the fuck I'm talking about how my mother has affected me" but it seems more like "OK, maybe you meant more to me than I ever admitted while you were alive.

Other than tremble incessantly?

Why do my ears tell me that the (other Than tremble incssantly?) is actually (other than tremble INSYMPHONY)

For some reason im not feeling this song,,after reading all the posts about it and then downloading it and being excited,, i get the lyrics they are very personal but the music and the lyrics to me seem to be from 2 different songs especially the 1st half ,,it sounds like some noises/music and some talking,musicly dosnt spark the fire for me.

But i love the 1st half of the album this is the song im up to in downloading,,i have my album orderd so im supporting my fav band. LOOVE Jambi

In the gospels (john in particular) jesus gives himself many names. "the light" (example John 8:12), "The life" and "the way" (example: John 14:6 ) are some of them. "The wave" is not one. no one reads about jesus "the wave" (except perhaps some weird sect of surfer christians). lets agree not to include this in the list of possibilities from now on as it makes no sense (annoyingly so).

John aside, my money is on "you were the light and the way that they only read about." this is based on what i'm hearing and the knowledge that "the truth, the light, and the way" is a popular mis-reading of john and is often used by preachy types (annoyingly so).

good point..

id been led in the direction of wave because i think of light in a scientific and not spiritual way...which led me to wave (sound travelling as a wave)

but this is a spiritually tinged song

so youre probably correct...

sorry though, i didnt mean to annoy you :rolls eyes:

Sorry if that came off a bit insulting praefector. In retrospect, that "annoyingly so" buisness does seem a bit frivilous and arrogant. This religion minor has had a pissy day. Please excuse my mood.

ok ok ok.... a correction to the correction of the correction....

i'm positive it's "fading all the trials"

v. tr.

1. To cause to lose brightness, freshness, or strength: Exposure to sunlight has faded the carpet.


Fading, all the trials and the tribulations

I doubt it really matters, but am I the only one that hears "collectOR Judas?" I mean, he collected blood money for turning over Jesus to the Romans... That's what I heard the first time and every time since despite seeing collective everywhere.

Corrections: "feigning" instead of "failing,"-- not only does it sound more correct, it just is more correct within context-- "incessantly" definitely instead of "in symphony." Definitely "collective Judas," not "collector" or "Judith." I think it's probably, "illuminated ... you are a piece of the Divine," but I'm not sure.

DEFINITELY "Light and the Way (not wave) they'll only read about"-- because Jesus was called "the Way, the Truth, and the Light." The church, sort of, was called "The Pillar of Faith" in 2 Timothy. I definitely like "burden of proof tossed upon the believers."

Beautiful lyrics.

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 all rationalize
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

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 hypocrites won't see

But enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated you're a piece of the divine.

This little light of mine, the gift you passed on to me
I'll let it shine, to guide you safely on your way ???
Your way home

Ohhhh, 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 lives are up on the ground
You are the light and the way, they only read about
I only pray heaven knows when to put you out
Ten thousand days as the fire is long enough
You're going home

You're 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
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, the 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 fluorescence
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this bold suggestion
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, its time for you to bring me home

Doesnt he say:

Safe I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon UNBELIEVERS
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

It makes more sense. I think.

I'm hearing "I only pray Allah knows when to lift you out" - as in Allah being one of the names that God is known by. Not the correct name, according to his mother's religion, but it's a real name for the figure, and it fits better than Heaven, Jehovah or Yaweh.

I also hear "Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance, burden of proof thrown upon the believers"
Why would Maynard be "safe" in his ways? Nobody but his mother (according to him) is safe in their ways. He's recognising that he is set in his ways and beliefs, and he is always throwing the burden of proof onto the believers in his lyrics. He doesn't need to place it on the unbelievers, because that's where it is for the most part anyway.

I'm also not hearing "Collective Judas" but something more along the lines of "collective Julius" - but I'm not entirely sure how that fits into things yet, so I'm just throwing that out there. Something with a soft J and an L sound.

am i the only one who hears "judith marie: unconditional warmth"?

the vowel sound continues for much longer than the word itself.. must be a reverb or delay or something.. but i distinctly hear the "r" sound at about 8:53..

I think the line noted as "Fading all the trials and the tribulations, None of us have actually been there, Not like you."

I think the starting word is "Feigning" not fading, makes more sense with feigning.

My 2 cents
