Judith

Maynard James Keenan explains on the aMOTION DVD how the song is about his mother Judith Marie Keenan, a very religious person, who suffered a stroke and was restricted to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. This stroke only strengthened her belief in God - something that Maynard found to be pretty ironic.

[Intro] You're such an inspiration for the ways That I will never, ever choose to be [Post-Chorus] Oh, so many ways for me to show you How your savior has abandoned you [Verse 1] Fuck your God Your Lord, your Christ, He did this Took all you had and left you this way Still you pray, you never stray, you never Never taste of the fruit Never thought to question why [Chorus] It's not like you killed someone It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed He did it all for you He did it all for you [Post-Chorus] Oh, so many ways for me to show you How your dogma has abandoned you [Verse 2] Pray to your Christ, to your God Never taste of the fruit Never stray, never break never Choke on a lie! Even though He's the one who did this to you Never thought to question why [Chorus] Not like you killed someone It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side Talk to Jesus Christ as if He knows the reasons why He did it all for you, oh He did it all for you, woah He did it all for you
