"Jambi" lyrics
"Jambi"
Here from the king's mountain view
Here from a wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan I do
On treasures and flesh, never few
But I, I would wish it all away
If I thought I'd lose you just one day
The devil and his had me down
In love with the dark side I'd found
Dabblin' all the way down
Up to my neck soon to drown
But you changed that all for me
Lifted me up, turned me round
So I...
I...
I...
I...
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away
Prayed like a martyr dusk to dawn
Begged like a hooker all night long
Tempted the devil with my song
And got what I wanted all along
But I
And I would
If I could
And I would
Wish it away
Wish it away
Wish it all away
Wanna wish it all away
No prize that could hold sway
Or justify my giving away
My center
So if I could I'd wish it all away
If I thought tomorrow would take you away
You're my peace of mind, my home, my center
I'm just trying to hold on
One more day
Damn my eyes...
Damn my eyes...
Damn my eyes
If they should compromise
Our fulcrum
Wants and needs divide me then I might as well be gone
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine on upon the broken
Shine until the two become one
Shine on forever
Shine on benevolent sun
Shine on upon the severed
Shine until the two become one
Divided I'm withering away
Divided I'm withering away
Shine on upon the many, light our way
Benevolent sun
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
Breathe in union
So as one survive
Another day and season
Silence, legion, save your poison
Silence, legion, stay out of my way

Drummer Danny Carey explained the creating process of this song: Justin Chancellor came up with the bass part, Carey thought it sounded like Jambi's chant on the show "Pee Wee's Playhouse": "Mekka-lekka hi mekka hiney ho", lead singer Maynard James Keenan wrote lyrics about a genie (Jambi) and making wishes, and the song was born merely as a joke.
'Jambi' means 'iamb' in Finnish, and the lyrics of the song primarily use the iambic meter. Jambi is also a province of Indonesia once ruled by a king, that's why the lyric "Here from the king's mountain view".
