Track 69 - Lyrics by Tool


Lyrics
Track 69, (
Cries Of The Carrots/
This Is Necessary/
Phone Call)..
And the Angel Of The Lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place ofslumber. And took me on high, and higher still, until we moved through thespaces 'betwixt the air itself. And he brought me unto a vast farmland of ourown midwest. And as we decended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil.
One thousand, 'nay, a million voices, full of fear. And terror posessed methen. And I begged, "
Angel Of The Lord, what are these totured screams?" andthe Angel said unto me, "
These are the Cries Of The Carrots. The Cries Of The
Carrots, Y'see Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is Harvest Day, and to them, it is
The Holocaust."..
And I sprang from my slumber, drenched in sweat, like the tears of amillion terrified brothers. And, Lord, Hear me now, I have seen the light,
They have a conciousness, They have a life, They have a soul. Damn You! Letthe rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!
Can I get an "
Amen?"(collective "AMEN!")
Can I get a Hallelujah?(collective "HALLELUJAH!")
Thank you, Jesus!
This. Is. Necessary.
This. Is. Necessary.
Life. Feeds on life.
Feeds on life.
Feeds on life.
Feeds on This. Is. Necessary.(etc. until 69 06.05)(cricket sounds until 69 13.51, then:)
It was daylight when you woke up in Your ditch. You looked up at Your sky.
That, that made Blue be your color. You had your knife ther with you, too.
When you stood up, there was goo all over your clothes. Your hands weresticky. You wiped them on Your grass. So now your color was Green. Oh, Lord,why did everything have to keep changing like this? You were already gettingnervous again. Your head hurt and it rang when you stood up. Your head wasalmost empty. It alwasys hurt you when you woke up like this. You crawled upout of Your ditch onto Your gravel road. You began to walk, waiting for yourmind to come back to you. You could see the car parked far down the road, andyou walked toward it. "
If God is our father," you thought, "
Then Satan must beour cousin. Why didn't anyone else understand these important things?" Whenyou got to Your car, you tried all the ddors. They were locked. It was a Redcar and it was new. There was an expensive leather camera case laying on theseat. Out across Your field, you could see two tiny people walking by Yourwoods. You began to walk towards them. Now Red was your color, and of course,the little people out there were Yours, too. (...click)(transcribed & submitted by Kardue'sai'
