LIVE

New lockscreen. Found it plus a ton other on Reddit’s tool subreddit.

This is basically unheard of from a rock band after a 13 year hiatus. But TOOL did it. That’s why that are the best band in the biz… hands down

Now my favorite song on Fear Inoculum


Free fall through our midnight

This epilogue of our own fable

Heedless in our slumber

Floating nescient we

Free fall through this boundlessness

This madness

Of our own making

Falling isn’t flying

Floating isn’t infinite

Come, our end, suddenly

All hail our lethargy

Concede suddenly

To the quickened dissolution

Pray we mitigate the ruin

Calling all to arms and order

Drifting through this boundlessness

This madness of our own making

Sound our dire reveille

Rouse all from our apathy

Lest we

Cease to be

Stir us from our

Wanton slumber

Mitigate our ruin

Call us all to arms and order

Sound the dread alarm

Through our primal body

Sound the reveille

To be or not to be

Rise

Stay the grand finale

Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue

One drive to stay alive

It’s elementary

Muster every fiber

Mobilize

Stay alive

Stir us from our

Wanton slumber

Mitigate our ruin

Call us all to arms and order

We barely remember who or what came before

We are choosing to be here, right now

Hold on, stay inside

This holy reality

This holy experience

Choosing to be here in

This body, this body holding me

Be my reminder here that I am not alone in

This body, this body holding me

Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Alive, I

In this holy reality

In this holy experience

Choosing to be here in

This body, this body holding me

Be my reminder here that I am not alone in

This body, this body holding me

Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Twirling round with this familiar parable

Spinning, weaving round each new experience

Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing

The chance to be alive and breathing

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality

Embrace this moment, remember

We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm

This one, this form I hold now

Embracing you, this reality here

This one, this form I hold now

So wide eyed and hopeful

Wide eyed and hopefully wild

We barely remember what came before this precious moment

Choosing to be here right now

Hold on, stay inside

This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in

This body makes me feel eternal

All this pain is an illusion

Pneuma" details concepts of seeking enlightenment and ‘waking up’, channeling ones spiritual focus, so to speak.


“Invincible’s” lyrics describe a victorious warrior, who, in his prime was 'invincible’, but is now dealing with his limitations and mortality in his old age. Knowing Maynard, this is probably a metaphor for the band struggling to stay relevant in the world and music industry that has changed so much around them during their hiatus.

Long in tooth and soul

Longing for another win

Merge into the fray

Weapon out and belly in


A warrior

Struggling

To remain

Consequential


Bellow aloud

Bold and proud

Where I’ve been

But here I am


Beating chest and drum

Beating tired bones again

Age-old battle, mine

Weapon out and belly in


Tales told

Of battles won

Of things we’ve done

Caligula would grin


Beating tired bones

Tripping through, remember when

Once invincible

Now the armor’s wearing thin

Heavy shield down


A warrior

Struggling

To remain

Relevant


A warrior

Struggling

To remain

Consequential


Cry aloud

Bold and proud

Where I’ve been

Here I am

Where I am


A warrior

Struggling

To remain

Relevant


A warrior

Struggling

To remain

Consequential


A tear in my eyes, chasing Ponce de León’s phantom song

Filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains

False hope, perhaps, but the truth never stood in my way

Before now, feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down


A tear in my eyes, chasing Ponce de León’s phantom song

Filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains

False hope, perhaps, but the truth never got in my way

Before now, feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down


False hope, perhaps, but the truth never stood in my way

Before now, feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down


Bearing down

Heat lighting flash, but don’t blink

Misleading

Tranquility ruse

You’re gonna happen again

That’s what I think

Follow the evidence

Look it dead in the eye

You are darkness

Trying to lull us in, before the havoc begins

Into a dubious state of serenity

Acting all surprised when you’re caught in the lie

We know better

It’s not unlike you

It’s not unlike you

We know your nature

Blame it all on the bastards when you’re blowing out

Shame on you

Shame on you, now

No amount of wind could to begin to cover up your petulant stench and demeanor

Calm as cookies and cream, so it seems

We’re not buying your dubious state of serenity

Acting all surprised when you’re caught in the lie

We know better

It’s not unlike you

It’s not unlike you

We know your nature

Calm before the torrent comes

Calm before the torrent comes

Calm before the torrent comes

Calm before the tempest comes to reign all over

Disputing intentions invites devastation

A tempest must be true to its nature

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

Control, your delusion

Insane and striking at random

Victim of your certainty

And therefore your doubt’s not an option

Blameless, the tempest must will be just that

So try as you may, feeble, your attempt to atone

Your words to erase all the damage cannot

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

A tempest must be just that

Disembodied voices deepen my

Suspicious tendencies

Conversations we’ve never had

Imagined interplay

Psychopathy

Don’t you dare point that at me

Heated altercations we’ve never had

so I’m told

Yet guided by them all

Every single one

Psychopathy

Misleading me over and over and over

Judge, condemn, and banish any and everyone

Without evidence

Only the whispers from within

Psychopathy

Misleading me over and over

Psychopathy

Misleading me over and over and over

Don’t you dare point that at me

Don’t you dare point that at me

Don’t you dare point that at

Don’t you dare

Don’t you dare

Don’t you dare point that

Don’t you dare

Don’t you dare

Don’t you dare point that at

Throw that Bob-Marley-wannabe motherfucker out of here

Fade

Underneath the skin and jewelry

Hidden in her words and eyes

Is a wall that’s cold and ugly

And she’s scared as hell

Trembling at the thought of feeling

Wide awake and keeping distance

Nothing seems to penetrate her

‘Cause she’s scared as hell

I am frightened too

I am frightened

Oh no, oh-oh

Trembling at the thought of feeling

Wide awake and keeping distance

Nothing seems to penetrate her

'Cause she’s scared as hell

I am frightened too

I am frightened

Wide awake and

Keeping distance from my soul

Wide awake and

Keeping distance from my soul

Fade

Underneath the skin and jewelry

Hidden in her words and eyes

Is a wall that’s cold and ugly

And she’s scared as hell

Trembling at the thought of feeling

Wide awake and keeping distance

Nothing seems to penetrate her

'Cause she’s scared as hell

I am frightened too

I am frightened too

I am scared like you

I am frightened

The new album has dropped onto my iTunes! Happy tooling everyone!!

Pnuema

We are spirit bound to this flesh

(We) Go round one foot nailed down

(But) Bound to reach out and beyond this flesh, become Pneuma


We are will and wonder, bound to recall, remember

We are born of one breath, one word

We are all one spark, sun becoming


Child, wake up

Child, release the light

Wake up now, child

Child, wake up

Child, release the light

Wake up now, child

(Spirit, Spirit, Spirit, Spirit)

Bound to this flesh, this guise, this mask, this dream


Wake up remember

We are born of one breath, one word

We are all one spark, sun becoming


Pneuma

Reach out and beyond

Wake up remember

We are born of one breath, one word

We are all one spark, eyes full of wonder

Just some news from TOOL.

A beautiful shot of TOOL playing aftershock in Sacramento October 13th 2019

Tool playing Stinkfist with costumes on for Halloween. Fucking brilliant!

TOOL Sacramento, California October 13, 2019 this is the show I caught and it was absolutely amazing. The whole crowd was going wild and we got to see Pneuma and fear inoculum played live for the first time ever.

Get off your fucking cross, we need fucking room for the next fool martyr…Eulogy. Live

Because Undertow doesn’t get much love and this song is legit. Especially with guest Henry Rollins… Enjoy
