I often think this is my favorite Tool song. An absolute masterpiece. If you're not used to odd time signatures it will take you a while to catch the groove, but once you do it is sublime. Lyrics below, too.
"Invincible"
Long in tooth and soul
Longing for another win
Lurch into the fray
Weapon out and belly in
Warrior
Struggling
To remain
Consequential
Bellow aloud
Bold and proud
Of where I've been
But here I am
Beating chest and drums
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
Of where I've been
But here I am
Where I am
Warrior
Struggling
To remain
Relevant
A warrior
Struggling
To remain
Consequential
Tears in my eyes, chasing Ponce de León's phantoms
So 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
Tears in my eyes, chasing Ponce de León's phantoms
So 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 got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down
Bearing down
