We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
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.
The light
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...
Of what it means to be alive.
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.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.
Lateralus

... This turns out to be a whale of a song. This is definitely the most inspirational song I've ever heard. The combination of Parabol/Parabola is too good to be true. It's awesome.

This song, combined with it's predecessor, Parabol, is absolutely stunning. Lateralus was the first Tool CD to come into my possession, and it remains my favorite because of these two tracks.

This is one of those rare tracks where the music and lyrics compliment each other perfectly. It is altogether an amazing song, especially when coupled with Parabol.

My fucking god, when he sings "the light", i get goosebumps. In all my years of listening to Tool, that has been my favorite Maynard moment.

What an incredible song. Between Maynard's vocals, Adam's guitars and the multi-armed attack of Danny & Justin -- what a complete rock feast!
