    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 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!

    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.

      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”

      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.

    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.

    [Verse 1]
    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
    [Verse 2]
    Ignorant siblings at 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
    [Verse 3]
    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 all 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
    [Chorus]
    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"
    [Post-Chorus]
    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
    [Bridge]
    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
    [Outro]
    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."

    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.

      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..

    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,

    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.

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.

      My son kept trying to get me to really listen.. He’s still here but not with me. Mom cannot fix this trouble. Stay in the light my son. Keep fighting..

      It's not ignorant siblings , and it's not ignorant fibbers in the congregation ... the correct answer is ignorant flippants in the Congregation

    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 😂

    "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.

    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.
