You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold no quarter, they ask no quarter
The pain, the pain without quarter
They ask no quarter
The dogs of doom are howling more!
but...
Tool beat the shit out of the original. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing.
No one's coming home tonight.
The sun beats down and don't you know?
All our lives are growing cold, oh...
They bring news that must get through.
To build a dream for me and you, oh."- someone faced with a decision of desertion,
ma
wow did i open up a barrel of funkin worms.lol
23. mercy or indulgence, esp. as shown in sparing the life and accepting the surrender of a vanquished enemy: to give quarter; to ask for quarter.
Seems pretty obvious, right. It's also the 23rd definition listed. Hmmm.
To me it sounded like a reference to Hades or Pluto and the Dark Place that he rules - cold, dark, isolated, no one goes there. The god of the underworld also happens to be wealthy - is that what they meant by 'quarter?'...
Jungian psych, and astrology, when talking about Pluto, they mean the part of the psyche that is Deep, Dark, Hidden... Which contains crap, dead stuff we buried and don't want to face, yet after confronting those, we discover Wealth, like wisdom, a sense of power or purpose, renewed life, and peace...
I might be far out but it sounded to me like the narrator has just made the decision to plunge into the depths where no one else goes to find his treasure... It's recommending introspection (lights out, locked doors, just you), as cure for 'lives grown cold,' 'dying peace in me and u'...... The dead go down to Pluto and find wealth. If you are a Scorpio/Pluto type u know what it means.
I was listening to this song one ugly morning after a bad party night, and the lyrics coincided with my thoughts, feelings.

Led Zep's version talks about another thing entirely, though. War, or something like that.
its just my opinion
but tools version wins in my heart
so much more amazing in my eyes
i do love the led zeppelin version
but tools version is just amazing for me
thats jus my personal view.
