- I do not own this song! Please visit the official websites www.puscifer.com and / pusciferdotcom . This is such a great song I wanted to make a video that included the lyrics. Sorry for any misspelling. Thanks for watching!!! Please visit the official websites and show your love!!!!
My daughter died of an overdose. This is the last song on her playlist. I saw her journal from years ago among her belongings.She struggled with her addiction and sometimes it seemed she was conquering. We tried to reach for her for years. "The hands of many must join as one and together we'll cross the river" please love your neighbor as yourself.
Condolence to you🙏♥️
@@marklee1376 ❤✌🙏thank you
That is heart breaking! My daughter almost succeeded at that months ago so I know that fear as a father but I could not imagine how you must feel. My deepest condolences. :(
@@ThatGuy40640 it hurts as much as you might think. I hope your daughter always fights for her life. ❤✌
Damn...
My sister just passed away in July 2023. We are Loyal Shawnee Tribe. We believe when you pass on, you have to cross a river and on the other side is all of your passed loved ones. RIP Ashley Leanne Malek, drugs suck!!!!
She's made it to the happy hunting grounds. She smiles upon you. May the great spirit guide and keep you.

Kinda ironic how a song with an ending about coming together to get over "the river" has people arguing about the true meaning. To me, the song means all of the things people have suggested, with the river being all of these different opinions and people to come together and just agree for once. "It'll take a lot more than words and guns" "a whole lot more than riches and muscle". It doesn't matter how intelligent you are, how strong or rich you are or whether you believe in a god. The greatest challenge for anyone to face is acceptance of themselves and each other, and until that happens we'll never cross "the river" that is the final filter to bring peace to humanity.

I have a friend of many years who had two sons and a daughter. She and her family lived at the bank of a mighty river just like this one. Her children grew listening to the rush of waters and often we're lulled to sleep at it's bank.
As her oldest son grew up, he became a strong hiker, climber and outdoorsman. After first responder training or kyack lessons, he would often swim across the river to make his way back home. His white water kyack skills were second to none and he was known through out the state even featured in professional videos.
After returning from a white water trip out of the country, his home river took him away in his prime. He was lost to the raging white waters he loved so much. On the day we painted kyack stylized rocks in his honor, to give to his family, this song randomly appeared on a music app we were listening to. I will never forget the moment; I had never even heard of the band Puscifer nor had I ever heard the song Humbling River. Never had a song fit more deeply or in as mysterious and beautiful a way. Whenever I listen to it I think of my friend and the son she lost, to the mighty humbling river.
That actually chilled me...
Puscifer has a way of finding you when you need it most
Sorry to hear that,sir
"It'll take a lot more than words and guns! A whole lot more riches and muscle!" To forget a loved one....
@Gretchen Hubbert Yeah, my uncle, grandmother, grandfather and my other grandmother.
My friend Billie passed away from drowning in our river that runs through our town. She sent me this song a month ago. Rest in peace my dearest friend.
My friend's son had this song on repeat all the time 8 years ago when he drowned in our local river.
Jesus bless your friend Billie , Tyler , ✝️
May your friend Rest In Peace.

THE HUMBLING RIVER :
There was a King who had everything a man could strive for. His achievements were many and his failures were few. There were grandiose stories, documenting his many glories. But none as somber as the one I tell you now. His kingdom was vast, reaching from sea to sea. They called him a conqueror, a liberator and even a god to be. He charged into every battle, fearless and ruthless, never fleeing and always victorious. His wife of many years had given him three sons to carry on his name. The people would chant 'long live the king' and may his dynasty forever reign. This King did things no one thought possible, amassing great riches and fame across the nation. No army, no castle, no man stood a chance against him. Until he came across the simple river in the woodlands. This river did not care for his titles, his might or his status. And despite his best efforts, the river opposed him. The King had no reason to cross the river other than pride, but that was enough for him to become crazed in the eye. He braved the fiercest storms and survived the most vicious battles, but this river somehow stopped him. His servants could hear him cry out in the night. Angel, angel what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire. I've conquered country, crown and throne. Why can't I cross this river?. Whispers began to spread of the king, people joked that a mere body of water had bested their mighty ruler. He grew obsessed with that river, driven to cross it at any and all costs. He had his builders build a bridge, but the river took it down. He had his soldiers brave the current, but all were lost and drowned. He had his priests pray for God's assistance, but none was ever given. Each time, they were repelled by the river and with every attempt, the king grew more agitated. He had his learned friends research the history of the river, but they found nothing of note. It was a simple river, nothing more, they urged. The King's sons constantly squabbled over the throne that would one day be theirs and saw the river as an opportunity to win their father's favor. The eldest son was the bravest and he stepped boldly into the current, but his valor could not save his life from the raging water. The middle son was intelligent and built a contraption to get across, but it failed and he was washed away with his creation. The youngest was lazy and had the river filled with boulders, but they gave way as soon as he stepped upon them. The King's three sons perished in that water and it was too much for the queen to bear, so on the night of the final funeral, she threw herself into the river. The King's obsession with the river only worsened as he drained his kingdom of all its resources in an effort to find a way to the other side. His people started to turn against him as his sanity unraveled. Those most loyal assured they'd think no less of him if he were to give up this foolhardy pursuit. But he continued to refuse. A fortnight after his wife had thrown away her life, the kingdom was gathered on the bank as the King proclaimed he would cross it himself, ordering no one to come to his aide. He believed the river to be alive and that it was testing his resolve . And on the morning of that fateful day, he was ready to risk it all. But as he prepared for the dangerous trek, a peasant girl slipped and fell in. She gripped onto a rock as the river fought hard to pull her all the way in. She cried and she screamed, but the King remained still, uncaring for her young life. But then a boy in rags stepped forward, calling out for the girl who he named his sister. He tried jumping in, but was grabbed by a soldier and told he would perish, but the boy kept trying to get to her. 'If I am to die then I will die, but I will not stand idly by,' the boy boldly proclaimed. And so he dove in, that peasant boy with no name. The crowd watched in awe as he arose from the thunderous current, his feet gripping the muck that lie beneath the surface. With all his strength, he pulled himself across and snatched his sister from the slippery wet rocks. When they made it to the other side, the King shouted witchcraft and demanded that the boy must die. His archers looked around, but did not raise their bows. He shouted and shouted, but no one did as they were told. The King was alone, feeling betrayed. And in a fit of rage, he jumped into the river, following that peasant boy with no name. He thrashed around & grunted as he pushed his way across, but just as he reached the other side, he met the young boy's gaze. The boy reached out to give the King a hand, the King who had just demanded his life. The angry King scoffed and pushed him away, grabbing a nearby tree branch to haul himself onto the river bank. The branch, well it snapped and the river sucked him back in. The crowd let out a gasp, but not a single one jumped in. As the water pushed the King beneath its waves and he took his final breath, he dwelled on all that he had lost in the recent past. His crown, his people, his wealth and his lands. His kingdom, his family and his legacy with them. This river had taken his mind and on that fateful day, the river would claim his life. And as he sank below the raging current, he saw one final sight... That peasant boy with no name and his sister by his side. Now they tell stories about that river and the nameless boy who dared to cross it. They sing of a king who was once called great, but the river in the woodlands had stolen all he attained. To this day, only those of pure heart can cross the humbling river, all others will be swept away.
Mark.

That's implying this song doesn't fit Megatron to a T
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 ayo explain???
I like thinking of the song as the story of Vader
@@onenerdygremlin My theory goes like this: Megatron beat the old establishment, which was incredibly oppressive, with your job being connected to your alt mode. Megatron, with his incredible intelligence and brute strength, beat it. (I’ve faced the quakes, the wind, the fire. I’ve conquered country, crown, and throne). However, he never truly united Cybertron (Why can’t I cross this river?). With his own establishment perhaps being just as oppressive as the last, the Autobots fought back. Cybertron will not be truly united with the intelligence, riches, and brute strength of Megatron and the Decepticons (pay no mind to the battles you won. Will take a lot more than rage and muscle… it’ll take a lot more than words and guns… the hands if the many must join as one, and together we’ll cross the river)
Though I’m sure there are many interpretations, this song speaks to me as a unity call for humanity and at a time when I feel more disconnected from humanity/society than ever, it’s a beautiful reminder to hold hands through all our problems and survive together.

Same. Peace, Neighbor. Sending thoughts of a good and happy life to you.
It's hard to hold hands with a person that wants to hurt or kill you or those you love. That's the sad reality.
Alone we are weak, but together we are unstoppable.
I'm seeing a lot of arguments against the religious and atheist. Well I wont tell you what I am, but when I heard this song, I did not think of either, I thought of humanity as a whole and our internal struggle.
Yes I believe its about human conflict and war how you could conquer countries but can't cross a river without the help of everyone else a river that maybe just leads to peace?
To get through a huge human struggle there must be peace they would have to settle their differences and cross the river.

Oh my god James Meynard is so talented musician. I adore his voice. Tool, A Perfect Cycle, Puscifer all bands of his are absolute winner to my ears, heart and soul. Love from Slovenia.
Transformers fall of cybertron is my favorite game of all time. My mother would love to watch me play this when I was a child, and when I showed her this song, she fell in love with it. She died in 2013 and this song is something I always come back to so I can remember her. My mother loved the part where "The hands of the many must join as one". She believed no matter your struggle, as long as you have people who care for you, you can beat that struggle. Anyone who sees this, may your life be long and prosperous. 👍
The opening cinematic in Fall Of cybertron was awesome years ago. It still is
This song... always gives me chills.
No matter how many times I've heard it, this songs tells the story of our evolution as a species and culture. The power of this song blinds me.
Gaius Julius Caesar and the Rubicon.
that feeling is how religions came to be
3 years ago this song saved my life.
I love the feeling the drums give... this kind of pulling, effort-filled sound. It's as if I am listening to the embodiment of "... one more step... one more step...".
this is simple. idk why everyone is trying to figure what the river is.
this is a song to the prideful hearts of men, no matter their gender religion or political standpoint, it's about humbling yourself and realizing you're only human, and how we all need to work together for the greater good of humanity.
yeah it's a metaphor
i think people are just being stupid on purpose
I think you're exactly right. It doesn't matter if you're different. It doesn't matter if you've done something good or bad, all that matters is that we support and stand by each other and learn from each other. To forgive. If we learn to do that, we'll be able to progress and evolve as one.
Great, sounds like a plan... now who wants to be the person to tell woman that they need to humble themselves and drop the deal-breaker-level preference of height? Because if I had a nickel for every time I saw a post on social media that had the word "ego" and "not acting his height", then I'd be rich enough to start my own space business... that would just turn into another rich people affair, as it did with Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
All them richee... all them muscles (height/physique), and yet your violently noisy rockets are helpess by the river, just like the rest... tale as old as literal time.
Very similar to a myth in Norse mythology. Thor can't cross the river and the Ferryman makes him walk the long way around because he doesn't realize that it takes more than conquests and boasts to stand among the other gods.
I most definetly felt a nordic vibe with this song..
Seeing as they (Maynard) dabble in the occult...... I'm sure it has a symbolic meaning to Maynard.
@@phoenix27blaze23 If you watch some of Maynard's interviews, you'll see that he doesn't give a shit about the recondite. He's more interested in psychology grounded in reality and expressed through picturesque language.
@@evieni1465 Yes, I'm aware. As I stated before Maynard loves giving away hidden/ occult message!s in his all his bands lyrics. He always has. Tool was showing "Illuminati" shit before it was the standard. This is why many tool songs weren't played on MTV & damn sure never the radio stations in the 90s. Tool did have very few videos played on MTV back when MTV was a music video channel.
I see so many people arguing about atheism and Christianity in these comments but I agree with you 100% and it felt the same since the first time I've heard the song
The best lyricist by far! I'm a Lyft driver and when my car is empty it's playing Tool, Pucifer or Perfect Circle! I can really relate to Maynard's music! ❤️❤️❤️

Amen to all three bands. Tattooed on me.
Cybertron, our home. For generations, it has been a peaceful world. Until pride and a lust for power divided us. Now we fight - enemies who were once our brothers. Our tragic war has ravaged Cybertron.
I heard this song for the first time in Yellowstone, it was powerful.
Yes. I noticed that. They played A Perfect Circle on Yellowstone too. The makers of that show must be MJK fans. Pretty cool.
They also use tumbleweed by puscifer, im what i think is one of the best shots of the show

Me too.
Everyone arguing about the meaning of this song. It's obviously about the raft mode in Super Mario Party.

Wow, I thought of the river part of Temple Run.
Or the sadness that optimus has been going through in Transformers: Fall of Cybetron?
I think this represents someone who had never been humbled or lost anything faced defeat. You’ll never cross the river if you havent been humbled

@Dusty Fred Nah man, if anything religion just highlights the worse there is in a man, blind devotion and prejudice!
@Dusty Fred See man, science is based on empirism and research, not on ancient gravings and imagination, just look at how many different cultures and civilizations that had their own religions and way of life, believing in something is inherent of the human being, people create conceptions to explain what they couldn't at the time.
The problem is when these conceptions and beliefs start to be the whole truth in a man life, and worse, in a civilization life, that's when the different start to be prosecuted in the name of these beliefs, but I assume you ain't this type of people, and I absolutely welcome your belief in our society, they are part of one culture, and there is many in our world, see the fine line beetwen religion as a good thing and religion as a way of controlling the herd?
And hey, I'm glad you gave a belief, many people don't and that tends to hurt their view of compassion towards others.
Watching Yellowstone and this song comes up. My wife says "It sounds like him."
Only Maynard can be associated with "Him" and for I to know exactly whom she meant.
So I'm not the only one!!
Maynard often references the Tarot in his lyrics. In the cups suit (the water or emotional element), he is referencing the knight of cups. On the card he sits before the river, but only when he reaches the emotional status of King will he cross the river. A king is different than a knight, and in reference to emotions, the emotional maturity of a knight is fleeting and somewhat shallow compared to the King. The knight is longing for long term stability, commitment, that belongs to the King (who has already crossed the river). The knight has been on many journeys where he has won awards, fame, and financial conquest. Yet, he is missing the love in his life. 🙂 The angel in the tarot is seen in the card Temperance, which demonstrates an angel pouring cups in and out of the river, balancing emotions. He is pleading to her for understanding on how to approach love and emotional fulfillment. He draws conclusion at the end that it will take more than talk, and war, and greed, but that by joining together humanity in love we can “all cross the river” together.

The truth: The River is a metaphor for being unable to baptize Oneself, because through baptism your soul is reborn.
Acts 22:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Thank you, Maynard sir. Your musical endeavors strike a psychological resonance like no other.
yup me too like song
When I first saw the trailer for TF FOC I was so hyped up for it. Ah, the old days.
I feel like this is from Megatron’s point of view when he thinks he’s trying to save cybertron
I like to think this song is primus talking directly to Megatron, specifically the part that says "open your heart and hands my son, or you'll never make it over the river." Megatron wants to rule Cybertron on his own, but he won't be able to achieve his perfect empire if he doesn't set aside his own selfish interests and unify Cybertron. Basically Megatron just wants to rule a divided Cybertron, but he won't be able to do anything unless "the hands of the many must join as one"

A toast, to the only two decent Transformers games we ever got.
The deliverance hymn that Maynard sought so desperately for years when he and tool experimented. Yeah maynards in pain but before this hymn I don’t think he could ever believe he could get through his pain. And I’m so grateful that I get to hear him evolve in this very song. He realised that nothing good came without hard work and sings with all the words he knows because the change was so huge for him. So massive for me.

SolarDragon007 One shall stand, All shall Fall.
If all fall, none shall stand.
Darth Nyrus Even legends fall, it is merely time and method that differ.
Heroes get remembered. But Legends never die.
This song has been incredibly encouraging. I’m coming up on the first anniversary of my brother’s suicide-my own, personal river. I had no idea how I could face daily life after that. And my first impulse is always to avoid people. Something I’m trying to overcome.
I feel for you, stick in there. I still havent gotten over my older sisters death 3 years ago. Together we can cross the river.
yoyo18072 I’m sorry to hear about your sister, my friend, but thank you for sharing that comment with me. Today was that one year anniversary, and it’s been rough, but just hearing some encouraging words from someone going through something similar... it helped. We’re never as alone in this as we may sometimes feel.
“Who would you be without me, Prime?”
“TIME TO FIND OUT.”
This was one off my dad's favorite songs rest in peace dad
I'm a huge Tool and APC fan, never listened to Puscifer, but this was great
Brandon S anything that includes Maynard is amazing!
The comment section can be pretty much divided into Christians, Atheists, people with other opinions, and Transformers fans ;)
Don't forget FOE
And here I am getting Halo Reach feels from this
I mean you are not wrong
..and the Tool fans lurking. Hi.
soundcloud.com/modest-roots/the-humbling-river Please check out my cover. It would mean the world
This song really hits home right now with what is happening in the world right now.It’s so hard to wrap our heads around, the fear and uncertainty of what’s to come. Stay safe, there is still humanity left in all of us.❤️
This song and transformers will always be my childhood
Everybody is talking deep about this song and the metaphors behind it.... but you know what... I came here because Transformers
how by transformers?
Dhieen It was in the opening trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
This need to be in an epic movies ending. What a magnificent song.
This song was used in the trailer for the game "Transformers: Fall of Cybertron", which was pretty epic.
Joe Matsuzawa Just checked it out. It's amazing.

Whether religious or antitheist, if this song spoke to you, then you know what must be done. Lay your weapons, anger, resentment, and Wrath at your feet. Offer them to those you once called your foe. Only through unity can peace be achieved. Not unity of belief, but of will.
My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer this week. This is one of the songs we used to listen to together when wed go on road trips to get car parts, or haul junk, or just to bs around. I feel like to him the river ment his PTSD. He is a Vietnam vet and was a pow for six months. He is my superhero. I've never known him to lose a fight he puts his mind to. But I know with my family and I supporting him well cross this river too.
Maynard's lyrical genius strikes again.
Lyrical master... the purest artist to have ever existed.
MJK’s lyrics are very thought provoking, that’s why I enjoy just about everything the man does, creatively speaking.
I can’t stop listening to this song. The instrumental aspects are mind blowing
Ok so this song makes me think of 2 things:
1. The phenomenon called "the impossible task" for those suffering with certain mental illnesses (generally depression, anxiety, and addiction). You find yourself utterly incapable of doing one certain thing that isn't necessarily hard to do but you can't make yourself do it for a reason you don't really understand. This song explains how you really need a good support system to help you get through whatever it is you're battling. It's worth mentioning that the lead singer has had a battle with addiction so I think that that being part of what the song is about is a pretty reasonable guess
2. This song heavily reminds me of the show Hell On Wheels. It makes me think of all the people working in tandem (and even in opposition to each other) to get the system that would forever tie the United States together in place.
"And though we are worlds apart, like us, they're more than meets the eye."
- Optimus Prime
I relate this song heavily to my recovery from substance abuse.
Just about perspective really, which is what a good song should produce, thought provoking behavior and debate.
Sending positive energy. Hope you're still fighting the good fight.
@@ericjohnson6634 3 years and going strong, thanks man
anyone else feel the country needs to hear this more then ever?
Christians and atheists: Arguing about heaven and struggle as meanings of the song
Transformers: A song that symbolizes a World torn apart and the tragic war of a divided race that has lasted for millions of years, a war that has crushed and twisted many and has cost too much for everyone, a war that has gone for One for change and supremacy... To one for survival
TILL ALL ARE ONE
*scrolling through Recommended Videos and sees this*
Hm? What's this? *clicks out of curiousity*
*five minutes later*
......YEEEEEEESSSSS.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSS
Koolaid man busts in. OH YEA!
Yeeeeeeeesssssssss
Ikr, one of my better finds through recommended videos
same here.........what a joyous find...................
I love any music that involves Maynard
Jessica Haley that voice, even just in casual conversation, is instantly familiar and passionate ✌🏼
This song, to me, is simple yet it evokes such emotion. Maynard has lyrically made a masterpiece. It’s not a long song, not a complex song, yet is significantly more meaningful.
A poetry professor once advised that you consider the most literal meaning first before delving deeper into a poem's more figurative meanings. In this case I think that would mean that you can't cross The Humbling River if you're not humble. Simple. No matter how strong or rich or independent you are, this river calls for humility, for a strength that is not comprised of external muscle, but instead of the ability to reflect inward and to help and rely on others when needed.
Delving slightly deeper, I saw a video today of some kids making fun of "Alpha Dads" and it made me think of this song too. Projecting strength and cockiness and disgust of others "lower" than how you perceive yourself is pseudo strength, and those kids understand that. Humility takes a deeper strength.
At the grocery store yesterday, there was a big dude in line in front of me at the one open register. He was fully kitted in camo like he just came out of a hunting blind 🙂 He had already loaded his full cart onto the belt, but when he saw me behind him with my few little things, he pushed back some of his load to make room at the front of the belt and told me to skip forward in front of him. He didn't even know I was running tight on time. Taking an extra step like that to help someone is true strength.
*"We will never know world peace... until three people can simultaneously look eachother straight in the eye!"*

Done deal, what next ?

Indeed.

LYRICS:
Nature, nurture heaven and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
But I've never crossed the river
Braved the forests, braved the stone
Braved the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I'm helpless by the river
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
(Nature, nurture heaven and home)
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
(Sum of all, and by them, driven)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(To conquer every mountain shown)
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
(Braved the forests, braved the stone)
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
(Braved the icy winds and fire)
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
(Braved and beat them on my own)
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
Nature, nurture heaven and home
And together we'll cross the river
And together we'll cross the river
This video have lyrics
Why would we need lyrics for a lyric video?
Does this song remind anyone still of fall for cybertron? Because those were the good days!!
Hell yeah!
@@raspberrychewy1931 need me a remake for ps4 and xbox one or something
@@ragnilotl1486 technically there was a FoC remake on PS4. but you can't buy it anymore i don't think
The best times
HOLY SHIT I KNEW I'VE HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE
“Till All Are One”
-The Optimus Primes
Thank you KevDuit for bringing this to my attention.
We are meant to be united, not find something in everything to segregate us further. Love is the answer and always will be. Compassion, empathy, patience, understanding...
Chloe Mitchell you're right but we're broken. please don't forget.
Good luck with that.
@@rme3146 We are indeed broken, sick you could say... "And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (mark 2:17)
It's in our DNA to segregate just like any other animal on the planet
@@818rdk No, it's in our DNA for the stupid to be led by the intelligent. That's why everyone is so ready to divide, so that the few may conquer.
Optimus: ONE SHALL STAND
Megatron: ONE SHALL FALL
yes
Starscream: AND ONE SHALL RULE THEM ALL
yes one shall fall and one shall stand, one will live one will die, one is good and the other one is evil
All hail Cybertron
All Hail Megatron...
Easily one of my favorite MJK songs. And the harmony with Carina is incredible!
Right now. More than ever right now
