Lyrics for 'Eulogy' by Tool
[Chorus]
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
We are gonna miss him
We are gonna miss him
[Verse 1]
So long
We wish you well
You told us how you weren't afraid to die
Well, so long
Don't cry here
Or feel too down
Not all martyrs see divinity
But at least you tried
Standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
We are gonna miss him
We are gonna miss him
Yeah, no way, yeah, to recall
What it was that you had said to me
Like I care at all
But it was so loud
And you sure could yell
You took a stand on every little thing
And it was so loud
You could be the one who saves me from my own existence
Warn while some child might chill, nine-one-two
[Interlude]
I'm too smart when you're invisible by the bone symbol on you. So he bashes his skull through the window while looking out to the sea. Like torment of my ego. And we're amused by this
[Verse 2]
Yeah, standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade because I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground
Someone who seemed to feel the same
Someone prepared to lead the way, and
Someone who would die for me
Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you f**king lie
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you step out of line
Don't you f**king lie
You've claimed all this time that you would die for me
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own
Eulogy?
[Chorus]
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
[Verse 3]
Come down
Get off your f**king cross
We need the f**king space
To nail the next fool martyr
[Outro]
To ascend you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye
