To help you embark on your quest for Maynard James Keenan lyrical enlightenment, here are the complete lyrics to the ninth track off Fear Inoculum, "7empest."

(keep calm. Keepin it calm. Keep calm. FUCK. Here we go again)
Heat lightning flash, but don’t blink. Misleading. Tranquility ruse.
You’re gonna happen again. That’s what I think.
Follow the evidence. Look it dead in the eye. You are darkness.
Trying to Lull us in, before the havoc begins, into a dubious state of serenity.
Acting all surprised when you’re caught in the lie.

We know better. It’s not unlike you.
It’s not unlike you.
We know your nature.

Blame it all on the bastards when you’re blowin out.
Shame on you. Shame on you, now
No amount of wind could begin to cover up your petulant stench and demeanor.
Calm as cookies and cream, so it seems.
We’re not buying your dubious state of serenity.
Acting all surprised when you’re caught in the lie.
We know better. It’s not unlike you
It’s not unlike you. We know your nature.

Calm before the torrent comes.
Calm before the 7empest comes to reign all over.
Disputing intentions invites devastation.
A 7empest must be true to its nature.
A 7empest will be just that.

Control, your delusion. Insane and striking at random.
Victim of your uncertainty, and therefore your doubt’s not an option.
Blameless, the 7empest must/will be just that.
So try as you may, feeble, your attempt to atone.
Your words to erase all the damage cannot.

A 7empest will be just that.
