Gracias, but it just sends me to Apple Music. Searching iTunes Store gets me nowhere either.
Bah! I'll get it this week one way or another.

I feel pretty confident these are the lyrics. Took them from reddit and formatting the lyrics more to my preference and fixed a thing or two.
Spoiler:
Behold the new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was Death
And the word was Without Light
The new beatitude - “Good luck, you’re on your own.”
Blessed are the fornicates (may we bend down to be their whores)
Blessed are the rich (may we labor, deliver them more)
Blessed are the envious (bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain)
Blessed are the gluttonous (may they feast us to famine and war)
What of the pious? The pure of heart? The peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
All doomed
All doomed
Behold the new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was Death
And the word was Without Light
The new beatitude - “Good luck."
What of the pious? The pure of heart? The peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
What of the righteous?
What of the charitable?
What of the truthful?
The dutiful?
The decent?
Doomed are the poor
Doomed are peaceful
Doomed are meek
Doomed are merciful
For the word is now Death
And the word is now Without Light
The new beatitude - “Fuck the Doomed, you’re on your own.”

Something's wrong with my iCrap phone- it keeps linking it to my music. Tried turning it off and back on and... then sends it to a Twitter page??? LOL. Oh well, will get it of a PC tomorrow or something if it doesn't fix itself.

The song is also available on Amazon, Google Play Store, Google Play Music, Spotify, etc. Basically anywhere that works for you.

Nice to come into the office and have new APC.
I really like this, not what i was expecting...but then again it's been 10 years since i had anything new from them so i wasn't expecting anything.

I love this song. Sign me up for the next album if they’re all like this. What a birthday present!

This sounds so amateur. Like a demo. Like Billy has been away for too long with some ideas, but nothing well fleshed out. It's a roller coaster mayhem, no mood has time to settle in, you are already somewhere else, with rushed transitions and unnecessary changes of tempo. The first chorus gives it all in like it was the last: horns, heavy metal guitars, and Maynard gives in two line and oops, we are already in the smooth part of the song. Remember By and Down? They didn't get more instruments, they just reused the same. This is so "not extraordinary"!
Maynard is fantastic. I'm so happy we are getting a new album... someday.

Yep, tried two more times. It's just not that good of a song. Not that bad, just seems sort of chopped together.

it reminded me a lot to Puscifer, i did liked the track but the production is odd

i was totally serious. I wanted to know since someone speculated that it might be Billy and not maynard. I listened to it this morning. pretty good. i need to hear it in the car or headphones.
Saul Williams fan.
Not bad. Kinda butt-rock-ish, with a cliché "marching" 6/8 beat, but with a memorable riff. Does remind me of Depeche Mode a bit, albeit only compositionally and not sonically. Thank God. I wouldn't stand yet another band going down the "remember 80's synthpop?" road. I especially liked the second half, where it's all "airy" and "space-y" and then the bass guitar kicks in. The lyrics feel a little too preachy and angsty, especially since I generally admire Maynard as a lyricist.

I really like the lyrics on this one. Feels how things really are in the world now too. Hopefully the album title, cover art, and tracklisting are announced soon.

Pretty much my sentiments as well ... it's not a very memorable track.

lol you guys are never happy with anything

I'm often happy. Also gonna call it as I see it.

If it makes you feel any better, the lyrics are firmly based in some theology. I’m hearing people say they don’t know what the Beatitudes are. They’re the whole part in the Bible where this happens,
The opening is based on the Gospel of John.
The “light” is sometimes interpreted to mean “love.”

I heard "the newbie attitude" the first time, and now I'll never be able to unhear it.

I would call it good not great. It feels like a song that would go in between two other songs on an album and work well in context but isn't a gripping single. I wish they'd cut a studio version of Hourglass and gone with that since it was way more striking and by the time I saw it on tour it was absolutely captivating. Hopefully we get an album title and release date not too long from now and they debut some more material on tour.
I was nobody. Nothing.
So "fuck the doomed."
Anyone else remember Nixon saying that to Bill Murray's Hunter Thompson in Where the Buffalo Roam?
Also, for the record, I really fucking dig this track.

just watched this the other day!

I really got a lot facepalms for hating on this track! Haha
But it really is just a huge disappointment. It entirely lacks any of the clever, unique expression found on Mer De Noms and Thirteenth step. Ultimately, it is altogether boring and could have been made by anyone. The best APC tracks to this day have not been emulated or imitated. Maynard seems really uninspired at this point because this seems like an effortless attempt to cash a check, and disuades me from much curiosity about what follows, although I'm sure I'll check it out anyway

I too was underwhelmed. Liked it but not my favorite by a mile. I’m hopeful it’s one of those “weakest track on the album” singles. I’m sure it is given Billy and MJK’s track record.

So today marked the first time I've paid for a song via iTunes.
...I would like my $1.29 back.
Very 'meh' - not what I was expecting from APC.

I like it. That last 10 seconds kinda gives me a boner for a new Tool album, though.

After multiple listens, I like it a lot. Sure, the music itself is a little cookie-cutter-rock-ish, but I love all the slower parts of the song, especially the 'What of the pious etc' bit.
That said, my favorite APC tracks tend to be the mellower ones (The Package, The Noose, 3 Libras, Orestes, When the Levee Breaks, Gravity), so I hope there's at least a few like that on the new album.
..if we ever get an album. I'm optimistic, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I haven't stopped listening to it all day. Had it on Spotify on my way to work, at work, and on my way home from work. Love it.
