10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) Lyrics


Listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the heroBoast about the day when the rivers overrun,
How we'll* rise to the height of our halo.Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations,None of us have actually been there,
Not like you...Ignorant siblings in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me...None of them can even hold a candle up to you,
Blinded by choices these hypocrites won't seeBut enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
my* little piece of the divineThis little light of mine, the* gift you passed onto me,
I'm gonna let it shine,
to guide you safely on your wayYour way home...Ohh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down
without 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 all eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way

That only you will read about
I only pray heaven knows
When to lift you out10000 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 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 (x5)"Give me my wings!"You are the light, the way, that they will only read aboutSet 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.

Formed around 1990 in Los Angeles, California, United States, by drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, vocalist Maynard James Keenan, and original bassist Paul d'Amour, Tool is a band that is most noted for combining alternative metal with a wide variety of progressive structures, irregular time signatures and lyrics that range from angry diatribes to meditations on philosophical and social matters.

After performing a handful of shows in the Los Angeles area and up the West Coast, they toured in the United States with Primus in the summer of 1992 in support of their EP Opiate. Their first full length recording, Undertow, was released in 1993.

Emerging with a groovy heavy industrial sound on their first release, when the genre was dominated by post-punk, they were later seen at the top of the industrial metal movement with the release of their second full-length studio album Ænima in 1996, the first recording the band made after original bassist Paul D’Amour left the band, replaced by Justin Chancellor. After an ongoing evolution of their sound and continuous efforts to unify musical experimentation, visual arts, and a message of personal evolution on Lateralus (2001), their most recent album 10,000 Days (2006), as well as respective tours, they are generally described as a style-transgressing act and part of progressive and art rock.

Their aspirational work features exceptionally long or complex releases, controversial lyrics and cover art, and unorthodox music videos, which results in a rather ambivalent relationship between the band and today’s music industry, at times marked by censorship, and the band’s ongoing struggle for privacy.

Nevertheless, Tool has won Grammy Awards and continues to perform worldwide and receive critical acclaim. Lateralus and 10,000 Days both debuted number one on the US Billboard 200 as well as topping the charts in numerous other countries. Between album releases, the band takes extended breaks that allow for collaboration with other artists in designing award-winning album packaging, the creation of elaborate light shows, and band member involvement in notable side-projects.

They currently have 6 major releases:
Opiate (1992)
Undertow (1993)
Ænima (1996)
Salival (Live) (2000)
Lateralus (2001)
10,000 Days (2006).
