Veer Union, The - Eulogy Lyrics






He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We'll miss him

We're gonna miss him
We're gonna miss him

Yeah, so long
We wish you well
Told us how you weren't afraid to die
Well, so long
Don't cry, yeah
Or feel too down
Not all martyrs see divinity
But at least you tried

Standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart
We'll miss him
We'll miss him

We're gonna miss him
We're gonna miss him

Yeah, no way, yeah, to recall
What it was that you had said to me
Like I care at all

But it was so loud
You sure could yell
Took a stand on every little thing
And so loud...

Come down...

Yeah, standing above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud
Swallowed his facade 'cause I'm so eager to identify with
Someone above the ground
Someone who seemed to feel the same
Someone prepared to lead the way
And someone who would die for me

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fucking lie?

Don't you step out of line?
Don't you step out of line?
Don't you step out of line?
Don't you fucking lie?

You claimed all this time that you would die for me
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?

He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say

Come down
Get off your fucking cross
We need the fucking space to find the next fool martyr

To ascend you must die
You must be crucified
For our sins and our lies
Goodbye!...

Veer Union, The Eulogy Comments
  1. E.... 1....

    I have literally never liked any band that has covered a Tool song because they usually destroy it...but this...you absolutely owned this! Best cover of any of their songs I've heard...amazing 👏

    E.... 1....

    Emmaginary 19 thanks so much!

  2. C.... T....

    Very, very impressed. You guys never disappoint.🤘🏻🤘🏻

  6. S.... ....

    Absolutely killed it

  7. j.... w....

    hmm interesting. some how i came across your flyleaf cover and then this. I can say i have no clue who you are as a band. I think this cover is interesting . i have to give it more listens. maybe not at 10 pm so i can crank the speakers. I was very indifferent on the flyleaf cover, to me the guitars were tuned down to much where you didnt really get the same effect/feel of the original. but now listening to this i am a bit more impressed with musical chops. I was really waiting for the high hat fill towards the end of the song in the break down. always interested in finding more music, radio dont cut it at all. i might have to look more into you.

    j.... w....

    I think with the I'm so sick cover they were going for that t-virus remix feel which came off pretty well in my opinion. Gotta remember it's a cover where they put their own spin on the song

    j.... w....

    @Steven Rs i just said i was indifferent on it.

  8. B.... ....

    I've been listening to you guys since '09. I've been a fan ever since. I cannot wait for the new Covers Collection Volume 1 album to be released just in time for Christmas.

  9. N.... ....

  15. E.... D....

    What's with the complete ripoff of Metallica's gain and ACDC's 80s snare drum? Makes this song sound like it was written in 1983...

    Ben Parry thanks so much\m/

  35. S.... T....

    I haven't listened to Tool in yrs because it's so overplayed on rock radio round here. But THIS is very refreshing to listen to! Well Done guys!!! 🤘😃🤘
    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    S.... T....

    Smash This Podcast! Thanks so much \m/

    S.... T....

    Wish I had that problem. Even when they come to town and they advertise on our only rock station, they still dont play any to hype it up.

  36. J.... P....

    Wow sounds spot on. Even the vocalist sounds just like Maynard James Keenan.

    J.... P....

    Joe Palladino thanks so much!

    J.... P....

    @TheVeerUnion you are so very welcome. You have done the song justice.

  37. �.... �....

    Go cover DIO - Holy Diver.

  38. M.... ....

    I haven't listened to this yet, but covering Tool is a pretty bold move

    M.... ....

    Moth. Let us know your thoughts

    M.... ....

    @TheVeerUnion Not bad. Not bad at all; better than expected. Nice job!

  39. J.... B....

    🤦‍♂️

  40. R.... F....

    Sorry kids but nope. Hey, love you guys. I still remember drinking whiskey with you guys out back your venue. Bought your CD and loved it and continued to follow your music since and still love it but this? Nope. Can't say I like it at all. It's not because of the actual cover choice but because you chose to assume you're own "flair" would be sufficient. It didn't. If you cover this band it requires something way more than a generic approach which this was. Sorry guys, I love your music (as I will always say) but this was off the mark in my opinion.

    R.... F....

    Robo Fisk thanks for your honesty Robo and your support over the years!! \m/

    R.... F....

    @TheVeerUnion And I will always support you guys so please don't take my critique as an insult. I just don't agree with this choice or better, the choice of execution. I will, however keep following you kids. Still think you guys are awesome.

    R.... F....

    @Robo Fisk I disagree on everything you have said - Covering Tool you dont try and fk with it - You honor it with your sound wich is what Veer Union have done perfectly

  41. B.... i....

    Amazing tune to cover yet love the added screams in it. Couldn't ask for better!!

    B.... i....

    Boneshade instrumentals thanks so much!

  42. T.... 6....

    "You claimed all this time that you would die for me, why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy"

    "Not all martyrs see divinity but at least you tried"

    "Standing above the ground he had a voice that was strong and loud and swallow his facade cause I'm so eage to identify with someone above the crowd"


    This song is one big long quotable I love it. Best tool album by far 😍

  43. m.... 2....

    Well, That's IT isn't It?

  44. M.... J....

    Love it!

    D.... ....

    Dosudro so kind of you!

  60. C.... C....

    Wow, you guys! I've been a fan of your band since 2008/2009(not sure) when I saw you guys live in my hometown of Panama City Beach, Florida at club La Vela. You guys are vastly better than the band I had went there to see(Framing Hanley). I've been a major fan ever since. I absolutely love your guy's covers, and TOOL is one of my all-time favourite bands. I remember when The Veer Union(with past members I believe)had a live cover of A Perfect Circle-Judith, I would absolutely love it if you guys would make a studio cover of it, as it is one of my favourite songs ever. You guys kick ass. I can't wait to hear whatever you guys come out with next. I would also absolutely love to hear your guy's cover of the song into the blue by Fire from the gods, it's heavy and absolutely perfect for Crispin's voice!!!

    C.... C....

    I've told Crispin after a show in Houston 2019 that we need a recording of Judith after I saw them do it live in 2012.

    C.... C....

    @Katalyst With it being as good as it is live I can only imagine how powerful it could be on a studio track.

    C.... C....

    thanks so much\m/

  61. R.... M....

    It's special ,it's not bad or good 🙏

  62. M.... o....

    Interesting

  63. M.... ....

    Awesome long cover, guys! I really like how positively you always take the criticism and hate thrown at you in the comments, that's what makes me respect you a lot.

    M.... ....

    thanks so much!

  64. R.... W....

    YOu guys are pretty bold for taking on Tool but you never disappoint, <3

    R.... W....

    Raikou Wolf Glad you like it\m/

    R.... W....

    @TheVeerUnion There hasn't been any cover or any song you guys have done that I have not like :P When Numb came out I got chills and nearly cried.

    R.... W....

    @Raikou Wolf Numb was unbelievable. My 10 year old daughter loves the song and I had to rush home from work to watch it with her.

    R.... W....

    @Ben Parry that's awesome

  67. h.... f....

    It is extreme metal

  68. h.... f....

    Disappointed

    h.... f....

    Sir don't mind , it is not a bad song but some elements of it has of dark metal like growling sounds but i really liked your recent sledgehammer more than this because that was your original make and is very heart touching.

    h.... f....

    I loved your album of decade(defying gravity),decade 2 that was one of your best albums.

    h.... f....

    Sir please do a tour with puddle of mudd .
