- Nature, nurture heaven and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
But I've never crossed the river
Braved the forests, braved the stone
Braved the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I'm helpless by the river
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
(Nature, nurture heaven and home)
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
(Sum of all, and by them, driven)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(To conquer every mountain shown)
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
(Braved the forests, braved the stone)
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
(Braved the icy winds and fire)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(Braved and beat them on my own)
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river

Sing out loud the last two sentences of this incredibly beautiful song: "The Hands of the many must join as one, and together we'll cross the river." Can you imagine singing a song like this for our Nation's anthem? The change in consciousness would be instantaneously and the ripple effects would benefit the entire Universe.
Take care of yourselves, safe journey, and
Much Love
and In Memory of my brother Micheal.

I am starting to cross the river. I am an x-soldier that has suffered from PTSD for to long. Letting alot of this shit go, and replacing it with something better.
Hang in there Todd. Pain on this planet of sorrows is inevitable. But the more we suffer, the more we will start to look for new ways to overcome our problems and earthly, material difficulties. Thank you for serving! AC
Hope you are doing good brother. I know our planet is filled with sorrow, but we must not lose ourselves. I am struggling myself everyday about the troubles of this planet, i get really sad about people dying, child abuse scandals here and there and lose my sleep over it. Sometimes i think suicide as a way out, but i must go on. We as good hearted people, should not die unless, it is our time to die. You are needed here my dear brother. My comments seems stupid even to me. I don't really know what to say. I hope you that you have crossed the river! Take care!
💕 my bday 11/11 my grams 11/10 I have a proud proud papa god please rest his soul...hoora!
Me too bud. Hold on
Good luck brother. OIF 04-05
I heard a portion of this just now when my son sent me a Fall of Cybertron trailer. As soon as I heard the opening lines which was the chorus, I immediately said "this is my new favourite song" It is beautiful, not only in melody but also in meaning and story. The images that you put with this make it a massively amazing song that I will listen to more times tonight as I learn the lyrics.
Thank you for sharing this ten years ago.
oh my fucking god i was 6 when that shit came out thats why im here lmao
Brings tears to my eyes. True love in this song and message!
Finally started watching Yellowstone, heard this gem.
I've been into Tool since the mid 90s, dunno why I've never looked into Maynards' other works.
War brings nothing but pain, suffering, death, and the breaking of spirits. Has long as we have each other it'll still hurt us but together we can soften the blows of war.
I've listened to this song for years, and before now I had never paired it with the experiences of war. Lyrically it makes sense, which is a good literal representation of course. Although, I'm pretty sure this song is wayyy more metaphorical than people believe it to be. It's open to interpretation though.
Depends on where you stand with God,could easily be literal..imo
I just listened to an interview with a Dutch politician that said this was her favorite song and to her the song is about saving the planet (she is from the pro green party)
IKR IT'S CRAZY!!
I can see it being about any internal trauma that we resist dealing with while going about external challenges and being tough... But not being willing to lose control and go within. But he is also ex military.
War isn't the only entity the song is speaking of. Definitely one of them
if we stopped fighting each other and join together we would do wonderful things for our species
only in a perfect world that would exist
you said it man
I don't mean to be a cynic or sarcastic, but in all reality a standing Army of "volunteers" is the greatest collaboration humanity has ever embarked on. Its up there with bees and ants....
its human nature to take up arms against a perceived threat. That's how we survived this long as a species ...the thing is now there is nothing left to fight against for survival so we turn that energy towards each other. If Aliens invaded us and turned every human on the planet into cattle ...then we would lay down our differences and unite as one....maybe we need that to happen.
i know what ww3 will be fought with but ww4 will be fought withsticjs and stones
Yellowstone S1 E3 is why I'm here and I'm glad that I am!
An amazing song that inspires a dream. Went for a walk today by the river lug in Hereford England and searched for a way. Later I found this song. Thanks and all the best...
'like us. There is morw to them than meets the eye'
*more* sorr
Beautiful video with this song. "a whole lot more than riches and muscle....the hands of the many... yep
Who after TFOC VGA trailer?
I f****** LOVE this song!!! So moving! Brings tears and chills and emotion.... All the marks of a good song!! Its timeless ♡♡ THANK YOU!!
Amazing Vocals , Amazing Lyrics Topped with an Amazing Band as one hell of a sweet Cherry atop!!! Puscifer Rocks such Wisdom Imparted on the masses.
For everything in the world we must be whole.
We must join as one
Wow! This is the best video I have seen with this brilliant song. Thank you for posting!
Your video is outstanding & goes hand-in-hand with this is amazing song -- to which, the combined work brings back childhood memories of my father going off to war for several years & friends of mine's fathers coming home in body bags.The after effects of war often last a lifetime for those that survive and those close to them. It influenced me greatly as evidenced by a few of my songs. Maynard James Keenan is an amazing artist.
So far, I have not seen a competent person post a comment. I think this song is about trying to achieve peace. Everyone must come together, it can't be achieved by force or war.
For me, this song is about the mental transition one makes into true leadership; and secondly accomplishing main goals through those you lead.
For example in the lyrics, "Braved the forests, braved the stone, Braved the icy, winds and fire, Braved and beat them on my own, Yet I'm helpless by the river"
----This to me is not the literal forests, stone, ice, wind and fire. He goes into saying "Braved and beat them on my own"---- Meaning, he is focused on himself only. All the accomplishments "HE" has made, thinking of only himself; and realizing how helpless he is by this "river"/mental transition into leadership.- You can only know how helpless you are when looking back at how selfish you were.
Then to drive that home he goes into self reflection; "Angel, angel, what have I done?(nothing) I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire, I've conquered country, crown, and throne, Why can't I cross this river?"- Again, I.I.I.. I’ve been that guy, looking back, its very much the question your subconscious speaks, “Why can’t I cross this river???” Why cant I think about the big picture? Why couldn't i be less selfish? Why couldn't I do an ego check? I've done everything; what’s wrong? But its only when you cross that mental river that you can see your past self struggling on the other side.
Then the goals of the many, "Pay no mind to the battles you've won, it'll take a lot, more than rage and muscle, Open your heart and hands, my son, Or you'll never make it over the river, It'll take a lot more than words and guns, A whole lot more than riches and muscle, The hands of the many must join as one, And together we'll cross the river"--Meaning, everyone has to be headed in the same direction to cross; mentally this is how its done, those that don't join in the same mission will not cross(choose to go elsewhere), or drown (forced out), to the benefit of a group sharing a common mission
Pretty deep song; means a lot to me.
Exactly
War is UTTERLY cruel!
This song is exactly that. The river is way more visible, runs faster and stronger and deeper than most of us have ever seen. And everybody is just standing their fighting and bickering and full of self righteousness and hate and nobody has any idea that this river is just going to get bigger and stronger. This song is like the world's best piece of advice.
Maynard is about introspection! Anyone can be in need of soul searching... in the song he says I've concurred country crown and throne... we all have battles on the outside... it doesnt matter what you've done when you start doing battle on the inside. It's harder to defeat your own ignorance... aka cross the river..
I dont care who controls the reason for war and suffering.. but thank you to all who SERVE others... doctors, nurses, fire/police/emts, military and missionary, and anyone who serves others beside their own. The list is long but the count is few.
Im signing up for the military once I get out of highschool. This song really gives me that sense of brotherhood that I am joining the Marines for.
So powerful, I'm at a loss for how to comment on this video. All I know is that it must be shared, so I'm doing that now. Also goes straight to Favorites. Thanks for the thought, time, and effort you put into this amazing video. - Sandy
A brother lost is like a son to another. I can no longer tolerate the violence. We must break free.
Do people here really think this song glorifies the military in any way, shape, or form? Or supports war? This song is an INDICTMENT against war and the military. The meaning is clear; you can attack, murder and conquer any nation you please, you can fight however long and establish the greatest empire, but you will NEVER reach divine utopia through war and conquering. That requires peace, reconciliation, and a willing to stand with your fellow man in solidarity in order to reach heaven. Maynard has always criticized the military-industrial complex.
Most people are morons. You're fighting a losing battle.
MyCatFooed ROTLF.
Amne Exactly. My favorite line... "The hands of the many must join as one,
and together we'll cross the river." Spiritual / soul's evolution
It seems like he is talking about about death and with all the things he has done he is helpless and will inevitably die like all of us
Amne A divine utopia can never be achieved(in theory) mainly due to past tensions and ideological clashes, if you want all of humanity to be united you will have to shut down feelings of vengence and anger, conflict will forever be in our DNA
I believe it's about no matter how rich or powerful you are there is something that will bring you to your knees hence the name
"The humbling River"
WAW!! what a beautiful song!! my entire body pores have risen!!
What an awesome song.....I need to get into Puscifer more.
Such a powerful video. Sharing it again to FaceBook.
This song signifies that our triumph over the world is nothing compared to what it take to get us to the next lvl our mussels an wars arnt what make us strong it is our hearts and united humanity that will get us there.. united we stand divided we fall
This video shows how these soldiers made us live...They are the reason why we are living. This video doesn't just show photo's but people that risked there lives to protect all. They do so much with this country and people don't see it often. But when they do I hope they understand why these men are here. Thank you for this video todd.
That's a strong statement, son. If those were the soldiers of WW2 i would agree but... Who did soldiers in Iraq, Afganistan save? Were they really needed there?
Who else heard this on Yellowstone? Love the song
One of the best out there great song & video thx
War.
War never changes.
your going to do great in the veterans parade
true
TheHypersniper0812 but men do
Amazing powerful video ! Excellent work !
AWESOME!!!i stayed with my ears open to the music---..i just have no words!!!
When someone gets a compliment from me it is always well deserved. As someone who has spent many hours working on videos myself, I can tell how much thought, effort and love goes into a video. You deserve a better compliment than I can find the words for. - Sandy
I'm not even sure how I feel when I listen to this song. A lot of mixed emotions. Its just one of those songs that when I listen to it, I'm just in awe. Kind of a numb feeling. Makes me think of death, life, family, enemies. Just a mix of everything. Truly an awesome song.
Love this song!!!
You can have peace in the next second but you have to choose between fight and surrender
This is great song and a great song.
Here because of Yellowstone. Heard the song and googled lyrics
This is now my fav. song, great job on the vid!
If only humble which is the hardest trait to learn if we become humble we would achieve great things remember we are ants in this world and defenceless on our own but if we work together we will accomplish so much crossing the river is learning to humble yourself and realize were not going to bring peace alone we are small but if we work together this world will be better
Thank You!
My dad had listened to this when I was but a babe, I only now we discovered it after remembering the lyrics.. beautiful song.
Best fan made version I have seen.
Man imagine living in a world where you have wings
The same reaction I had when I first heard this song. Thanks a whole bunch Johnny!
I will never support war but will always support the soldiers who fight for my freedom.
freedom is an individual struggle. War does not bring freedom. Unless military men and women fight the true criminals of humanity. Revolution brings liberty and freedom. still, it's an individual internal struggle. we must learn to live without dependency and without want.
Dan, i want you to do some real hard researching in all of the U.S. wars/battles EVER. The U.S. is one greedy ass country. It's for your own good :)
+FYM Jokerz I'm not American. I'm Australian
FYM Jokerz you're putting a human trait onto an entire populace of people who happened to be born within the boundaries of a particular ideological identity. Not everyone in a country is the same as the others. You need to do a bit more critical thinking yourself. It's for your own good. 😊
No one fights for freedom!!! War exists for a few reasons: Capitalism, selfish interest an ambition. There's no freedom to fight for, unless you live in a totalitarian regime. What a bunch of shit "Pro-War" comments!
This is amazing video and song is great !
I love this song
Well done!!
2021. Masterpiece... god bless us everyvone ❤❤❤❤❤
great vid
Wow I had not heard this song yet and your video was great really tells a story Great job! Much Peace and love to you! I really wish the world would figure it out ~johnny

Amen to that, Nelson. My lil bro got back from Afghanistan in April. I've never been more proud of him. These brave souls fight for their families and loved ones, despite their political beliefs. We should all be so thankful for them.
Sad song, along with the pictures it makes me sad. How many people we lost in war. They fought for our freedom. They died knowing the job is done.
best song ever
Mad world
0:41 i like that picture
God bless the nation so sad i beleive god will protect us
Clearly this "river" that Maynard speaks of is that thing that we call life. He's talking about crossing that river into the forest past the liquid light. Into the unknown. Some people might call it Heaven, others the divine, I call it the imagination.
I thought of "the river" as peace. You are victorious in battle but yet you can't conquer peace.
The river is nirvana, read the lyrics and you will see it is explaining that to cross the river into enlightenment you must forget your earthly triumphs and lose your sense of self. Maynard has always written about reaching a singularity in humanity.
The truth is the river is what ever it is you want it to be and it is nothing. Good music and artists make you form your own opinions and to think critically for youself i will agree that maynard does push for awareness of the All-oneness
If the river was life you could come to the end of it but never cross it.
The inner struggle is real.
the best song ever made
countzeroLP Hey man, how you doing?
puscifer actually wrote a serious song
The river symbolizes the struggle for peace or in a smaller form overcoming your past or military past. Also have a great day and let's join together to stop deaths and war and other huge promelms thank you and have a great day
I couldn't remember your channel name but I remembered your name Loki, it is unforgettable. :-)
war is hell
as long as we fight against eatchother we will never cross the river too peace.
Great comment Mike! Great job AC.
Geoff
All hail Megatron
A worries song. Under rated
I remember when this song played at the beginning and end of transformers fall of cyberton
Thanks Brendan.
I think this song is about letting go of the past and advancing into the future to become a better person
God bless our troops God bless America
Let people feel however they want to feel from music don't argue over it everyone is entitled to feel however they want it may differ in opinion but the feeling is the same
The moment when Maynard asks the angel what he has done with the nuclear weapons test in the shot is how Oppenheimer must have felt when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed.
My 1st. Thought when I heard this song world War 3
"Heavy"
Cold steel to singing sword...
😭😭😭😭😭
yellowstone
sad song ps angel angel what have i done
This song should be played in movies called saving private ryan
The meaning goes beyond military combat...
The pictures shown is a memory of our freedom
These pictures are for killing and for war. Cruelty as it's finest
You are destined forjoy
#WorldPeace #OneWomanSymphony was here. Support real music.
great video these Men and Women try to make a difference for the better in the World, God Bless the US Military
Almost kept a straight face through that.
Hail Allah.
scott bashaw why just the US? There's other countries having families broken apart by war
just musty prime because its not America's responsibility to take care of the entire world
And the shit comment award goes to.... All the idiots supporting US ARMY!
It's obviously the work of a Devil...
Is this Loki? If yes, I was thinking of you while creating this video. Can't thank you enough for turning me onto Puscifer. But if not, thanks just the same for writing. My sub is gladly returned. Much Love - AC
W*o*W
2:12 where did you find that photo
Looks like a soldier out of fort Richardson to me
@@Chefian23 oh I know the unit i used to be stationed there
Most people here talking about the true meaning behind this music, while wondering where are the transformers comments
Yes
