Send "Jambi" ringtones to your cell

Here from the king's mountain view 
Here from the wild dream come true 
Feast like a sultan I do 
On treasures and flesh never few 
But I... I would 
Wish it... all away 
If I... thought I'd 
Lose you just one day 

The Devil and his had me down 
In love with the dark side I'd found 
Dabblin' all the way down 
Up to my neck soon to drown 
But you changed that all for me 
Lifted me up turned me round 

so I.. I.. I.. I... 
I would, I would, I would 
wish this all away 

live like a martyr dusk to dawn 
beg like a hooker all night long 
tempted the devil with my song 
and got what I wanted all along 

but I, I would, if I could, I would 
wish it away, wish it away 
wish it all away 
wanna wish it all away 

no price you could hold sway 
or just to find my, kneeling away my, saturn 
so if i could i would wish it all away 
if i thought tomorrow would take you away 
you my piece of my mind, my own, my saturn 
just trying to hold on... one more day 

Damn my eyes 
Damn my eyes 
Damn my eyes if they should 
compromise our fulcrum 
or what you need 
if I believed it 
I might as well be gone 

shine on forever 
shine on benevolent son 
shine on upon the broken 
shine on until the two become one 
shine on forever 
shine on benevolent son 
shine on upon the severed 
shine on until the two become one 

divided and we will wither away 
divided and we will wither away 
shine on upon the many 
light a way benevolent son 

brave in you 
young brave in you 
young brave in you 
young brave in you 
you're so as one survived 
another day in seasons
silently just say your prayers 
silently just stay out of my way

72 posts	At the expense of my ears, I think it's "Damn my eyes, Jambi eyes, Jambi eyes", in that order. Hard to make out, though. Guess we'll just have to wait until toolband gets it up to know for sure.

2 posts	[offtopic]I was watching Pee Wee's Playhouse the other night. If you've never seen it, you may not get what I'm talking about, but the genie guy in the box (you know, green, turban, et cetera...) is named Jambi. I just found that ironic. I mean, it is a pretty uncommen word or name. Does anyone know what it means?

158 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I'm the new admin of Tool here, and I'm a little on the fence on the lyrics myself I have always heard it as "Damn my eyes" but recently I began to wonder if it may be "dam my eyes" as in "blocking my eyes"

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I am only a new addition to the Tool world, but this song is amazing. The intellect of the lyrics just blows me away. It's definitely "dim my eyes" i completely agree with the few of you that said that, though my boyfriend, who has been listening to Tool for several years now disagrees and believes its "damn my eyes" so... LoL they are creating controversy that they aren't even aware of Rock on Tool fans

91 posts	I actually think that it's "dim my eyes" rather then damn... I think Maynard has no appearent reason to say dman with a slight "E", I mean come on you can obviously hear him sings "dim". I also realy liked the: shine on forever shine on benevolent son shine on upon the broken shine on until the two become one shine on forever shine on benevolent son shine on upon the severed shine on until the two become one Great lyrics!

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song had to grow on me, i wasn't that big of a fan at first, but after about 80 times through, i got the hang of it. I really like just focusing on the bass delay, i think it provides a strong driving point of the song. great song in concert

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Jambi is an Indonesian province once ruled by a king who lived a very opulent lifestyle such as this song describes...the song talks about being rich and powerful but willing to give everything up for love.... AND STFU WITH JAMBI EYES, THAT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER ahem yeah...

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i absolute love this song. and, um, in the end, instead of "brave in you young brave in you young brave in you young brave in you you're so as one survived another day in seasons silently just say your prayers silently just stay out of my way" i thought it was "Breathe in union breathe in union breathe in union breathe in union breathe in union So as one survive. Another day and season. Silence leech, and save your poison. Silence leech, and stay out of my way."

55 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I'm pretty sure most if not all of their lyrics are sort of intended to be interpreted in multiple ways. With my knowledge of his personal history and their recent events before the album, the song is primarily about his mother, who was paralyzed by a stroke before she died. He's basically saying he wouldn't have pursued the fame and riches he had if he'd have known what was coming. Also, I believe part of it has to do with the culmination of that and his son kind of pulled him out of what he considered to be a period of decadence. Three songs on the album are about his mom, actually. Jambi and the two following. Even the album is named for her; she died roughly 10,000 days after being hospitalized and paralyzed by her stroke.
