This week, I chose to learn my favorite song (Invincible) off the new Tool album (Fear Inoculum).

This is the official link to the album version:

The flowing polyrhythmic riffs are what intially grabbed me, but the lyrics are some of Tool's finest work, as well.
Invincible Long in tooth and soul
Longing for another win
Lurch into the fray
Weapon out and belly in
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 mind
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
Warrior. Struggling, To remain. Relevant
Warrior. Struggling, To remain. Consequential
Cry aloud, bold and proud
Of where I've been
But here I am
Where I end
Warrior. Struggling, To remain. Relevant
Warrior. Struggling, To remain. Consequential
Tears in my eyes chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom soul
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 Leon's phantom soul
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
