Lyrics:
We listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we'd 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,
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 choice, these hypocrites won't see.
But enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated your little piece of the divine?
And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me;
I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way,
Your way home ...
Oh, 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 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.
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...
Give me my...
Give me my!
Give me my!
Give me my!
Give me my!
Give me my!
Give me my wings!
You are the light and 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 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.
I'm going to leave this comment here. that way when ever someone likes it , I'm reminded of this masterpiece
👁👌
It's 💯
Me too 🎶
For the 149th time I'll obligate you to return this masterpiece.
@@moonchant and here I am. I look at the
Mushroom tattoo that my brother in law drawn before he died. He loved tool. Played both this time and sober. My brother won the battle. But… relapsed… lost the war. RIP Nate.
Too weird to live. Too rare to die
My mom passed away today. She was 72. She was a huge fan of Maynard, Tool and Puscifer. Love you Mom
Jay Bitts sorry to hear that man. My condolences.
At least she was able to listen to Fear Inoculum before she passed, right?
what a cool mom
@@absentcoder4552 she heard a few songs from it but was in too much agony to fully enjoy it.
her memory is still alive
I’m 34 and dieing of emphysema, I survived 19,000 volts three times in a work accident and lost both my legs. It doesn’t matter that I’m dieing,
All that matters is how I’ve lived…
I have lived for you.. for me… for every soul…
Tool put me on a journey through life of selflessness….
For 16 years I’ve lived every day, sometimes my own life, sometimes vicariously through others….
I’ve seen joy and beauty,
I’ve seen death violence and evil,
It only made me stronger….
I love you all you beautiful bastards!
I’m not scared of dieing,
I’m scared of not living….
Thankyou tool you’ve helped make my short life more than worth it! I love you all!
If you're still here, i love you and im were all thinking of you
This touches beyond the soul
Don’t let life get ya down, ya lucky tk have it. Merry Christmas 🌏
@@nothinyaseehere9449 Merry Christmas
@@core1986 thanks mate
I ugly cry to this song regularly.
Thank you Maynard, Justin, Adam and Danny.
You wil have you're reeasons, for sure.
Me too just ignorant weeping
True. Can't even sing along properly without floundering into tears
Not all tears are bad my friend. I hope life's good to you!
Me too
I don't really listen to this song for the lyrics but for the way Maynard sings them. Crooning, mumbling, accusing, demanding, declaring, comforting, assuring. It's a personal send-up to his mother. His contempt for religion is still present, but he plays it as an appeal for his mother. “If God exists then she is more deserving of heaven than any of us.” Even if you don't know the backstory, you know there is something he is putting his whole self into--it's important to him, and so as a listener it becomes important to me.
While the line "Give me my Wings" is so powerful in an of itself, the way Maynard delivers it gives it even more power, and i can't go without shedding tears whenever i hear it
I’m very religious. This song is super beautiful and one of my favorites in existence.
Aw man the way you easily said it all just makes me even more love the lyrics...
I get the same vibe from this. Different from Judith you can tell there’s more respect for her religious views while creating a song she would be proud of. Ultimately most do want to make our parents proud. With my mom passing recently Ive listened to this song in a different way. You mention the different tones & variations Maynard projects seems to correlate to the “grieving process”
Big fact !
Quite possibly the most moving and emotional song in the Tool catalog.
Without a doubt ..my favorite song of all time....pantera is my favorite band ...but they or no other comes close to this work of art
And that's saying something
Foxx agreed
thats simply because its maynards most personal track, i mean its his mothers obituary so of course it would be
Hands down without a doubt. Nothing in their catalog can come closer to the sobering reality and emotional weight of this song.
This is the best tribute to somebody's mother I have ever heard
Came here to say this
English isnt my native language. I read about the story behind the song. And I always thought it was some kind of blaming "god" or the believe in it (since tool is known as an atheistic group and Maynard anti god opinion comes from the fact that his mother was hard religious, even when she suffered in the life on earth) but when I read your comment I looked far more into the lyrics. And the song is a homage to his mother clearly. And it shows that he doesn't have to believe in the same things as his mother, to accept and love and miss her.
@@Keyc94 Tool atheistic? lmao
@@Keyc94 There's definitely anger towards God in this song and some lines imply that he sees his own mother as being higher than Him.
This songs hits you different when you are the one grieving.
Oh it hit me alright. Even 7 years later.
...😢
Yes. It does.
It absolutely does! 💓
It does. Just lost my beloved grandma a few days ago and I'm bawling listening to this, my heart goes out to everyone else in mourning.
If TOOL isnt played at my funeral, I'm NOT GOING!
me too
I just laughed out very loud!! Love your quote!!! My son recently asked what song I want played at my funeral...?
My reply was "In This River" by Zakk Wylde.. I may change it to this one!!!
Heh...
I’m having my funeral soon. I’ll be in disguise hiding in the crowd yelling he sucked! He was idiot! When I see people I don’t like I’ll have em removed. Once the squares are gone I’ll get the marijuanas and whisky’s out hahaha I’m gonna have it on my farm so we can go ride bikes n stuff n enjoy it. That’s what my life’s been about so my death and stupid funeral may aswell be the same…
@@nothinyaseehere9449 hey my guy, have you tried magic mushrooms , like 2-2.5g? (:
That harmonization "fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father, Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended" is literally the best thing I have ever heard in my entire life. 5:22
it's a great fuckin tune, innit
Yes
agreed
And that is where I stopped believing in Christianity . the old Testament never mentioned 3 but 1 ...But yes this was an amazing build up..its time now
My time now ...and just the usage of fetch like his mother was a dog enslaved to Jesus ..amazing writing
@@absentiabenertia5204 bro im not trying to convert you or anything, but as far as i know 1 and 3 has been a core principle of christianity and it is in the old testament (no offense)
17 years have passed and I still believe this is the best requiem ever written.
sounds more like a rebirth to me
Yes it is
Word
Same
Herr Mozart would like to have a talk with you
When Adam's guitar cries, I cry. It's just the way it goes.
No one here blames you. 🖖
I love that it starts "raining'
💯🙌💙
Adams playing is just absolutely breath taking, so much passion and detail!
It's definitely crying at 7:30
Hearing an ad between pts 1 and 2 of Wings for Marie is like stopping halfway through eating or sex to punch yourself in the downstairs.
Pyrrhic Videos Right? Of all their songs that have preludes that were separated into individual videos, you’d think they’d combine Wings for Marie parts 1 and 2 into one video...
hahaha true
Pyrrhic Videos isn't it just? I searched for both together. Nada.
Thanks for putting "eating" there because I don't know what sex feels like.
The ads are complete blue ballers
When he screams "give me my wings" for his mom tears me up every single time.
Is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard. Love you mom.
Has any son ever paid such a powerfully heartfelt tribute to his mother as Maynard James Keenan?
Okay now this only two scripts I've seen two brothers cry the others were too dry is that what you're looking for was seeing believing or was believing sing till death was part
Sufjan Stevens probably
@@hotakatsu7637 that’s a great example. Carrie and Lowell broke me
So many of Maynard's songs are about his mother.
My husband passed away yesterday in hospice, he was 32. I played him this song before he received the Sacrament of the Sick from the Chaplain there the day before he passed.
This song was really fitting because he had anoxic brain injury and multiple organ failure and fought for his consciousness and body for 40+ days in the ICU. Not exactly a stroke like Maynard's mom, but I believe this song brought us both peace.
❤
I hope you're doing well.
Stay strong Veronica
Just read your comment. wounds like that rarely heal, but, for what is worth from a stranger on youtube, I really hope you're doing better.
my thoughts are going to you now. deepest condolences.
keep pushing on
I'm very sorry for your loss.
the bass in this track is just sick...Justin is amazing...
Fucking frylock
underrated how good it is in this song - totally sets the mood
Justin chancellor is my biological father
I bought a bass guitar because of Tool. Schism was the first song I ever learned on any instrument.
It took me almost a year to be able to nail the bassline from start to finish...
"I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out. 10,000 days in the fire is long enough. You're going home." I have no idea why, but this hits me in the feels so damn hard.
You may know this song was written by James Maynard for his deceased mother, Judith Marie, but you may not know that she spent a little over 27 years on her sickbed. Ten thousand days is a little over 27 years, which is how long she was "in the fire" before she passed on; before finally "going home."
@@pandyfackler118 I did learn about that a little while later, and it feels more powerful now that I know that.
@d R Judith Marie: Unconditional One.
Vision gets a bit blurry with that verse.
If you listen closely, you can hear the bassist putting in his 220%.
His name is Justin chancellor :)
My mum passed away January 31 this year. I’m 27 and I just realized that I had just barely over 10, 000 days with her. (10, 064 to be exact.)
The last lines in this song hit hard. They’ve always been haunting to me but now even more so obviously.
She was a big Tool fan, specifically of this album. Her name is even incredibly close to Marie.
Love you mum.
May she be resting in peace. my condolences. she raised a strong person, make her proud.
My brother passed away today at 32 y/o... I'm devastated. He was also a fan of Maynard and the boys.
12,000 days in the fire is long enough. You're going home.
RIP Little Brother.
fuck man... For so long my older brother and I have been at complete odds. A few months ago, we made up and now were nearly best friends. I cant imagine life without him, the thought of that happening hit me like a truck. Im sorry
Sorry for your loss man. My brother passed away in 2012 so these songs help me remind me of him.
My brother died tragically in 2008 at the same age as yours. I was his little sister, he was my best friend. I played this song on his funeral, he was a big fan of TOOL.
Still miss you bro..
Your brother has his wings now. May he Forever Soar With The Angels.
We are all here for you.
I just lost my 16 year old daughter. She was disabled. This is was a hard song to listen before. Now it's a release!
My condolences sir.
My son 20 and has muscular dystrophy. He is slowly getting to like their songs. I know kinda how you feel. I cry every time I listen to this.
From one internet stranger to another, I am sorry for your loss. Take care.
thanks sweethearts
Stay strong my guy
ooooooof, this one hits in a particular way (i'm disabled--spina bifida)
How on earth can a band make such a masterpiece?
Because they're Tool
@@_spacemonkey_7079FACTS
When Maynard sings “daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence; difficult to see you in this light” I immediately picture him in the hospital room as his mother is taking her last breaths. I imagine he is holding her hand and speaking to her; suggesting what she might say when she gets to the gates of heaven. Incredibly touching and unbelievably heart wrenching.
Yeah you can really see the fluorescent light flickering while he sits next to her bed holding her hand
Back in ‘06 I was driving from Salt Lake back to Bozeman and was listening to this entire song and I can almost for certain tell you that I must have had a very similar experience to Maynard. It was around 5 and All I could see was the lyric
“Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence’
It’s EXACTLY what I was experiencing I actually pulled off the highway drove up some hill and literally watched this ‘daylight dimming’ I was so moved by the situation that I’ve never forgotten it.
But for sure the way northern Utah is with all those factories and the toxic smoke literally does something to that light in the winter evening sunset..
It’s where I believe part of the lyrics come from
God Bless 🙏🏻

@@CutmeMick I love your use of imagery here, thank you for sharing this.
I assume that's what he meant. It'll be a tough time when I do it, if I don't go first.
I’m a firm believer that everyone should listen to at least one tool album at some point in their life.
Word
i dont agree. they should listen to 6
@@recalled4525 How?
Alienzito TOOL have 6 (5+Opiate) albums. I would even consider listenning to Salival.
ZacKiwi salival is miles better than Opiate. Opiate is non-essential. Salival is like their 4th best secretly
This is one of the most important songs of my entire life.
+1
And that life would be spent well, listening to this.
Same. I met a guy who liked Tool in college and I said my favorite song was Wings for Marie and he said “oh you’re one of those weird people”. Swear to God that’s a true story. People are such assholes.
my sons are the most important people in my life, above anyThing else

My grandmother died today. I was her favorite. She was the kindest human being I ever knew. Didn't deserve any of the many things she did for me. Covid prevented me from seeing her before it was too late. Was heartbroken when I walked into her hospital room and she was gone. Don't take your loved ones for granted. Do everything you can for them. You never know when heaven will lift them out. RIP Mary Jane Tennpenny 9/9/20 I will always love you...

This is some of the most emotive singing I've ever heard. I listened to this song on headphones the first time ever. The "thud" sound was devastating. I like how the song "Judith" about Maynard's mom is so cynical, but years later "Wings For Marie" is so honorable and loving towards his mother.
And one song they never perform live....
@@archibaldsalyards926 they perfomed it thrice. But it is very emotionally and phisically exhausting for whole band to perform, not only for Maynard, which have obvious difficulty to sing that song.
Definitely - captures the complexity of human relationships!
No one will ever be prepared for the inevitable loss of someone as close to them as their parents. Though it is unavoidable, the best thing we can do is to cherish every single moment we experience with them and embrace whatever may come from doing so.
Wholesome

My Mom's middle name is Marie. Funny how syllables work... ..I've been able to sub her name every time.
My mom's middle name was Marie also. She died from cancer exactly two months before her grandson/my son was born. The nurses and doctors said they did not know how she lived so long. She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called multiple myeloma that usually affects African American males. She was a Caucasian female. Her anniversary was 6/13/2020 and my son will be 7 on 8/13/2020. Rest in peace with your beautiful wings mom, Linda Marie Leija.You more than earned them sweet angel.

I lost my mother to Dementia and Stroke last month, she was 68...Tool's music has helped me a lot in the last few years since the stroke incapacitated her. A fever is what finally took her....107degrees Fahrenheit Almost 42C....she was totally gone before she made it to the hospital...her body just didn't know it yet.... god i miss her.
if you're listening to Tool in 2022 you're probably a fcking genius 🌟
To my mom, I love you.
Same
Tell her, not to us.
Judith Marie saved more than one life! Because if she hadn't given life to Maynard to create music i would not have *stayed in this holy reality and spiraled out*. Really Tool gave me motivation in a very dark moment. Thank youuuu!!!
This is the real music, that have emotion, music theory, feelings, and pass a message that helps and motivates others in bad times. This justifies why Rock and Metal never dies over time.
Music has a lot of magic to pull us through some weird and tough times.
Same here ...! At age 17 I had a loaded .45 in my mouth ready to end it all ...46&2 was playing..the song and his lyrics stopped me ...i am now 41 ..with amazing children i fully attribute Judith Marie ..for me still being here !
Steve Lantz I’m so glad you didn’t do it. Tool wasn’t what saved me from self boom. But I was there at one point. I’m glad we both chose life.
Thank you. We all need some lovely souls around us.
I lost my mom today and wasnt ready to let her go but i know she's at peace now. I cant stop listening to this song. My mom battled addiction for many years. This song has given me so much peace.
May your mother rest in peace, and may you find peace in Tools music 🔥🙌👏👊💖🔥
I feel you brother. I feel ya.
Sorry for your Loss :-(
I became my mother's legal guardian as a 25 year old full time college student, due to her Alzheimer's disease. As well I was working full time.

Fuck it, you got me.
This song is really about all the stages of grieving. First you reminisce and you are thinking about life in general. Then the sadness and anger keeps building up until it finally explodes inside you, to finally leave you at serenity. The music compliments that so well.
You need to rethink this.
@@ben11fan I would love to see a different approach.. You could help me understand it better!
@@ThimiosEC I agree with the grieving part. I think it's about the loss of his mother.(Marie) Its the Building of anger I don't get - the title 10,000 days - is that the age of the mother or days grieving. Because the anger subsides overtime when grieving not increases. Time heals as they say. 30 yrs is a long time to grieve. Though it's a young age to lose your Mother. I think the ending is him saying how she saved him from himself. (I think the whole album is about him needing to be saved from himself). She was his best chance and he lost her.
@@ben11fan Thank you for that perspective!
@@ben11fan If my memory serves correct, his mother was very sick for 27 years - roughly 10,000 days of pain.
My Mother is a religious woman, and these lyrics take her breath away. She thought it was just me until I told her Maynard's story about his Mom. Absolutely traumatizing. Talk about having to grow a set! He has my props!
Did you tell her the other shit he went through? He is mental strength incarnate.
I feel bad listening to Maynard's poetry 30 years late, the man's a genius. Give her her wings ❤️
Thats 10,000 days.
"10,000 Days in the fire is long enough you're going home" is one the best lines ever said no doubt.
There's no denying that this is Tool's heaviest song. Once you get in the groove and allow yourself to dive in the lyrics you cannot just to feel
& listen with headphones. if u dont have good ones put pcs of foam over ur ears, press & enjoy
Heaviest like emotionally? I mean I guess. More of a Hooker With Penis kinda guy myself. Talk about EMOTIONAL I cry everytime
I got to see this song performed for the first time live. I will never forget that moment
Mesmerizing comment
"Judith Marie, unconditional one" gives me goosebumps every damn time. The song builds up to that line perfectly.
Never ceases to amaze me how many people turn to TOOL for comfort for the loss of a loved one. My beloved wife Melanie, for always and forever. 7:04 am 3/8/2019.
Moxlonibus Krypt Never ceases to amazing me how many assholes call this music pretentious.... I’m glad I’m not the only one finding solace in this music. I’m sorry for your loss.
Our losses are what empower us. Just let us not forget.
RIP Melanie
@@Moneyman-33 Thank you Greatly appreciated.
@@omegachuy Thank you, but difficult none the less.
This song transcends mortal music. It's sound is a deep incantation. It's lyrics a prayer, marred with guilt. An ethereal track, that stands the test of time, akin to Judith Marie's faith in a god that Maynard chose to turn his back to. In spite of his relationship with Judith's god, this song sees him become an inquisitor of those he perceives to be of lesser faith than her. Absolutely magical.
That's quite a powerful statement right there. I like it
Music is the true bible
I know it might s
This is one of those TOOL songs you immediately connect with. Even without context, you understand the emotions in the lyrics and tune. God bless Maynard.
Still one of the most amazing things to ever grace my pathetic ears.
beautifully put
"never took a life, but surely saved one" .... ouch
"See? I'm alright."... this song seriously hits hard.
@ayejayrulez9 they repeat lyrics a lot in different songs. Check Counting Bodies Like Sheep and then listen to Pet. Both by APC
@@christophernolan7891 counting bodies is a remix of pet, which is why it uses the same lyrics, the emotive album was all covers for the most part
This is what i call a masterpiece and i dont have even 2 weeks listening to tool
Tzakman welcome aboard
Welcome sir
welcome :)
Man, these guys are True musicans...
Sprial down the rabbit hole ...sooo much content to tantanilize your phyce
My mother just passed away. Pissed off. She didn't deserve this. Never thought this song would hit home as much as it does.
I personally, have yet to experience the loss of a loved one. I'm thankful that everyone I love is still here for me. But I know, one day it will not be that way.
Seeing all these comments about people who find comfort in this song is heart wrenching, for I cannot feel the same way.
To everyone who has lost someone they love, be it a friend, a brother or sister, a mother or father, or anyone really, I send to you my deepest condolences, and hope you can keep moving forward. RIP to everyone who has finally gone home.
This could possibly be the greatest song ever written
Robert Kerestes almost that would be lateralus
Brendan Lorente on a technical level, I’d agree. But from an emotional level, this takes the cake, hell its the fucking bakery
We all want it to be bhut no
This song is just amazing. I get chills and flashbacks every time with "none of us have actually been there, not like you." There is so much emotion poured into this song it blows my mind. Only a son's love for his mother can make a song this powerful. Masterpiece.

My best friend died at 27 years old. 10,000 days in the fire was long enough, she went home.
yeah thats odd because 10 000 days is 27 years , sorry for your loss
Also my boyfriend. I remember him wearing a Tool shirt the last night we were together. This song is difficult to hear, but also gives my a kind of relief...i know he went home...
R.I.P. JUDITH MARIE KEENAN MANYARDS MOM.BEE SAFE?
GIVE ME MY WINGS hits like a meteor, literally sent shivers down my spine.
My mom passed away on Tues, Nov. 2th, 2021... I dedicate this song to her, her selfless life and the love she bore for all. May she get her wings! I love and miss you mom, your suffering has ended, you will forever be my hero...
Much love to all TOOL fans here 🇦🇺
Australia represent
Every Tool fan is a brother of me! Greetings from Brazil.
The Outsider , Hellyeah brother .. America has much love for you guys. Well real Americans anyway
Shout out from Vancouver Island Canada.
Denmark on the map too 🇩🇰
"Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father; tell them their pillar of faith has ascended" absolutely ruins me every time I hear this. What a goddamn masterpiece.
Such a moving sonic blast, I'm thankful to have my mother this day but this song reminds me to not take that for granted.
Don't, because it will happen and it goes quickly. I would give anything just to have a conversation with my mother. Give her a call
😢
This is probably one of the songs I've listened to the most in my life and I never get bored or tired of it
Only on Tool!
Love the part at 7:55 when Justin starts galloping...
Might be one of my favorite bass moment in music tbh.
one of the coolest things i've ever heard, for sure.
Just amazing
JA TOOL ER GUDDOMMELIGT MUSIK LEVENE RYTMER GODE ENERGIER FRA MANYARD AF TIL ÆRE FOR JUDITH MARIE KEENAN MANYARDS MOM R.I.P. DEAR JUDITH
Jesus christ
It's amazing that even after 10000 listens this song still gives me chills.
I used to listen to this song with crappy headphones, all the time, barely feeling anything. The second I got my friends over the ear headphones, I played this song at full blast, and I legitimately started crying in the middle of a silent classroom.
This song is ethereal.
That’s funny cause I’m listening to this with headphones that only one ear plug works 😂
“I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one” Is such a powerful line.
This is literally one of my favorite Tool songs next to "Jambi", "Disposition", "Reflection" , "right in two" and the rest of MJK's other projects. But whenever I listen to A Perfect CIrcle's "Judith", "orestes","passive", and Tool's " The Patient" and " Wings of Marie 1 and 2", it blows my mind that MJK and his respective bandmates made these five songs that when listened to in that chronological order perfectly describes what The Five STages of Grief is like in musical form. I listened to this song when My cat Kit Cat passed way along with a friend of mine who also passed away. I always tear up with this song. Helped me through a lot of dark times. I'm just glad that everyone who is a genuine Tool fan, and new found fans can all come together to experience the journey to the newest album, and experiencing one of the few artists that have a genuine sound thats one of a kind to them. #spiralout
It’s about his mother, it’s the most epic song cycle in existence.
@@Ephrones I know hahaha, Its why he managed to encapsulate exactly what he felt during those five stages. MJK and his bands did a hell of a job crystallizing and catching lightning in a bottle in regards to those moments that can only be re-lived in those tracks.
I can appreciate what you’re saying here. But if you’re going to discuss MJK’s journey of grief over his mother through his songs, you must include “Jimmy” as one of the stages.
@@theletteronyourcoat correct! I can't believe I forgot about Jimmy! Thanks for the reminder!
Dude! A cat??
We listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we'd 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.
Feigning 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 choice, these hypocrites won't see.
But enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
Your little piece of the divine?
And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me
I'm gonna let it shine
To guide you safely on your way.
Your way home...
Oh, 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 our eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way.
They'll only read about.
I only pray heaven knows,
When to lift you out.
10,000 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've 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 [5x]
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
It's time for you to bring me home."
BrokenZen *ignorant Fibbers in the congregation
Fibbers as in liars
Me partió el corazón 😔
Love your mom with all your heart one like no other give thanks for being here ❤️
Wow
What a fucking sad song 💔💔💔
this is a completely different subcategory of art
❤ indeed
This is pure art. There is simply no better band than TOOL. They're just on another level
My love passed away March 23,2023 from cancer. Fought two long years. I felt this and I feel this now.
🙏
Death is the door to eternity. life on earyh is lowest form of living. fear and sadness is of satan. have none of them.
Only found out about TOOL less than a month ago and there's a stream of tears running down my face, cascading off my chin as I type, listening to this ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.
I hope Marie rests in peace knowing Maynard wrote her a dirge for the ages.
A TOOL fan for life, I have become.
Edit: Thanks for the love guys. ❤️
Cyril Channie welcome to the club!
Welcome friend :)
Cyril Channie whats good yoda
letting it flow is part of being human ... tool are part of that
I thought I came to the party late after only listening to them when they came out with lateralus, lol. Better late then never, and now you don't have to go through the torture of being a lifelong fan and waiting 13 years for new music
this one brings real tears to my eyes
True that. Only song that does.
This one renders me fucking inconsolable.
This song hasn’t made me cry
"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!" Sends enough chills down my spine to create electrical interference.
"Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance. Burden of proof tossed upon NON-belivers. You were my witness. My eyes. My evidence."
He's talking about himself as a non believer for so many years and his anger towards the church, people of faith, God, etc. and how Judith was HIS OWN burden of proof that because she was so faithful for so long, and because she was "the light and the way they only read about" (her congregation)... because she held so fast to her faith for so long that there must be a God.
But yea... chills EVERY SINGLE TIME at this part and for the entire song really.
@@richheustis5930 wow you really explained this well. I hate how maynard adds so much depth in his music that leaves you guessing forever lol. Hope he continues to create masterpieces like this.
Yea its just one guy's interpretation but this whole song felt to me almost like an apology to his mom and perhaps even to God for the bitterness he held for so many years... for making songs like Judith with Perfect Circle. I won't even listen to that song. Its too dark and too violent for me. So much hate poured out in that one.
Thats way wings 1 & 2 are literally my fav Tool songs ever. And they've been my favorite band hands down since 1993 when I was like 15. I've struggled for years with how amazing their music is and at the same time knowing that a lot of their stuff has roots in "belive in nothing"... that sort of thing. A lot of the stuff from Lateralus forward shows a lot of intellectual and spiritual growth. Especially songs like this one. Helps me rationalize it I guess. Again though... just one guy's interpretation.
Keep on rocking! 🤙🤙
@@richheustis5930 Good interpretation. I'm glad he put his thoughts out there, whatever they were. Judith is a hard song to hear but I understand his anger. The fact that she didn't waver despite the what happened to her is a testament. And Maynard went through his own trials of abuse. It's understandable.
Lost my mom 5/30/22. No words describe the loss. This song helps me. And Pucifer "Mama Sed". Love ya Ma!
Same, sorry for your loss, life is never the same, you just learn to live with the pain, one day at a time, mine passed away at the end of 2019
This song breaks you down then builds you back up every single time you listen it.
The thing I love about Maynard is his ability to use his emotions to convey how he feels into his music you can clearly his grief and anger when he sings "give my wings" you can just feel how sad and angry he is at the thought and fact his mother is gone. Everyone should be thankful for all the kind,caring and supportive mothers in this world, cause at some point you won't have them anymore
"10,000 days in the Fire is long enough
You're going home."
I have been a Tool fan for many many years. Saw them in concert 4 times in the nineties.. I list them as one of my Top 5 bands in my life. They made such a big impact on my life. But none of that compares to that lyric.. It's so impactful, so powerful, and so emotional to me.
No words worthy of explaining this masterpiece.
It's not a song, it's a prayer
I can confidently say that this is the best progressive metal song in existence.
lmao come on dude this isn't metal
Heavy metal contains massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. If you are saying this isn't metal, you either are uneducated or simply trying to provoke debate based on some biased opinion.
badjaboy07 not all metal is death metal shut up
Not all metal is like judas priest or iron maiden man, this is progressive metal
As good as this one is it doesn't even get close to Octavarium or Opeth's Deliverance
I'm 26 and just conquered brain cancer. I survived 6 years of pure mental torment without thinking cancer was a possibility for my suffering.
Finding out I had cancer brought a peace to my soul that I cannot describe. It was truly a blessing.
I fully realize I am not immortal and have only a limited time on this earth.
I'm turning 27 in January and this song really hits differently.
I will not be apart of the 27 club.
I will live my life to the fullest and make every breath moving forward count.
Thank you Tool for guiding me in this world since I was a young lad in 4th grade.
You are the father that was taken from me.
Hope you're still here to see 10,000 days
"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"
To this day, this is the best fucking lyric ive ever heard in a song ever. Tool is fucking beautiful.
These comments make me regain my hope for mankind. It's funny that the people with the warmest hearts are just common people with an affinity for superb music.
The only song that has made me cry.
here to...
Same
The most powerful and emocional song ever created.
The ultimate masterpiece.❤️😢
How do you even make music like this? It flows so naturally from beginning to end, it feels as if I'm guided by my hand. It captures both me and my essence whole, swallows it and doesn't let go until the last note is played and the last word spoken.
When that thunder claps, my brain dumps all the endorphins
I hate it when it's day time and I'm driving tho. I always think my car is fuckin up
This is the best song of all time for me, anyone else?
I give it best prog metal
"Only you can hold your head up high" really hit home and inspired me to make changes in my life instead of waiting for someone to help me.
I feel you
So dam true.. we are our own worst enemy
I just lost my father today. This song means so much more to me now. If you're reading this i love you.
