000 Days (Wings Pt 2) — Tool

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 flippants 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 little 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

What are they going to do when the lights go down Without you guide them home to Zion What are they going to do when the river is overrun Other than tremble incessantly

High is the way but our eyes are up on the ground You were the light and the way, that they will 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 149e 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 wings

You are the light and the way That they will only read about

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance Burning all through tossed upon non-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 them in the eye Look them in the eye, and tell them i never lived a lie, never took a life But surely saved one, hallelujah it"s time for you to bring me home
