Tool constantly challenge their fans to think for themselves, and will even go to lengths to deceive them just to keep them on their toes (lacrymology anyone?). Perhaps this song is an example of how, after everything that Tool has done to persuade their fans to not be sheep, we still tend to believe things without giving them much critical thought. Honestly, if we apply the same kind of scrutiny that they encourage us to do with religion (xtianity in particular) to things like UFOs and the paranormal, we end up with very similar results (debunked) or a very similar herd following. Sometimes I think Tool gets a kick out of putting songs like this on their albums just to see what kind of silly interpretations people come up with. Opening one's mind isn't a rejection of mainstream thought and a subsequent embracing of alternative ideas which are just as equally silly; opening one's mind is allowing it to expand to concepts and perceptions that one has never considered before - often counter-intuitive - while embedding a filter of scepticism and rationality.
Aliens, extra-dimensional beings, and other entities/ideas now being discussed are nothing more than mental fictions, and are no different than anyone's subjective religious/mystical experiences. The mind is a wonderful place to explore, filled with mystery, wonder, and even danger, but let us not mistake these subjective experiences for external realities or entities.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
~Aristotle

I am an avid fan of both Art Bell and Tool, and was actually listening to the show when that person called both times. And I have to say, it was the scariest shit I have ever experienced. He was talking, running, and crying all out during the call, and just the way he said it all was extremely believable. The disconnection of the satellites was just the tip of the iceberg. I think Tool might be using this as just to say that we don't know everything. The name, as the first poster already pointed out, translates to the voice of god. Again, probably Tool pointing out that we don't know everything. When the guy calls back, in a flat, droning voice, saying it was a hoax, that proved, at least to me, its authenticity.

Ok, this may be just a crazy misunderstood opinion on the song but, me and my friend one day sat down and listened to all the Tool albums and we noticed something maybe a bit coincidential. Listen to Lost keys, Rosetta Stoned, and Faaip de Oiad in that order it almost seems to tell a story a guy tells doctors he was ubducted by aliens and then he sends a transmition saying people are out to get him. Maybe the doctors work for Area 51 and are trying to get him for what he knows about aliens. You can tell me I'm wrong but its just a thought

The voice of god... maybe tool is trying to tell us something... just for the information...
There is an old theory that says that the gods we know since the beginning of our history are aliens... no precisely the little grays that we are used to think about when we think of aliens, but other races much more similar to us in appearance...
So maybe Tool is drawing attention to this point just wanting us to look around and question ourselves... There are lots of information on these theory that you might find on the internet...(the problem is to define what's true and real and what's not) and they all end up saying that the end is comming... for these gods want the humanity to be their slaves... Something like what the man on Faaip De Oiad was saying..
So... Think for yourself! and don't stop the searching of the truth...
you may find a lot of this in the books of Zecharia Sitchin
and webs like www.sott.net. There are lots and lots of interesting information on the subject.

I always thought it was just another Tool thing...unexpected, initially puzzling and provocative, and it sounds amazing. It just sounds great.
I can't assign too much thought to it....having been in audiences that had been completely suckered by Maynard into chanting along with him only to be treated to a "Think for yourself...and never repeat what other people say" delivered in that tone he uses that makes you feel stupid... because it never struck me as something that needed too much thought and that, in fact, was intended to once again sheep out the masses and make Maynard's point yet another time.
People were guaranteed to get all ramped up..as they did about the "nazi" carryings on from another Tool cd....cookies anyone?
I think it sounds incredible and that was probably the main intention. That and of course "They're gonna lose their minds over this..." Tool being Tool.

Sorry, but Tool are into what you'd probably consider Hockus Pockus. Check out album cover representations, lyrics etc. Honestly, how you get Tool encouraging your silly 19th century materialist worldview, which is itself nothing more than a fashionable dismissal of anything that doesn't fit within current academic theory, I don't know....
