Here's the lyrics to the song "Jambi" by Tool. 

I think I'm going to have to use it as inspiration to write an adventure. I may even take some cues from the real story of Jambi, which was an Indonesian kingdom colonized by the Dutch in the 1700's.

 

Here from a kings mountain view 

Here from the wild dream come true 

Feast like a sultan, I do 

On treasures and flesh never few 

But 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 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 I would 

If I could 

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, my piece of mind, 

my all, my center, 

just trying to hold on one more day. 

Damn my eyes!  

Damn my eyes! 

If they should compromise the fulcrum: 

(If) wants and needs divide me 

Then I might as well be gone... 

Shine on forever 

Shine on benevolent sun 

Shine down upon the broken 

Shine until the two become one 

Shine on forever 

Shine on benevolent sun 

Shine down upon the severed 

Shine until the two become one 

Divided, I'll wither away 

Shine down upon the many. 

Light our way, benevolent sun. 

Breathe in union  

So, as one, survive 

Another day and season 

Silence, legion. Save your poison. 

Silence, legion. Stay out of my way.
