    AND THE REST IS MYSTERY
    Once upon a lonely journey
    Same as everywhere she’s been
    Just an ordinary, quiet girl
    Scarred by ordinary men
    So she tries every single day
    To wish upon a million miles away
    And dreams that the life she’s meant for
    Is maybe not so far away…
    In the shadow of his father
    Wearing blood that’s not his own
    Has he squandered his inheritance
    For the only life he’s known?
    So he tries every single day
    To wish upon a million miles away
    And prays that the life he’s meant for
    Is maybe not so far away…
    Shame so overwhelming like a river
    Raging with its death so deep and wide
    Legend of a promise to deliver to the other side
    Standing at the edge, they heard a calling
    Deep down they always knew there’s something more
    One to pay the toll and get them safely to the shore
    So they ran and jumped onboard
    And at once their great adventure had begun
    Following that burning call
    Don’t look back!
    One by one
    Threw their bags over the side and followed on
    Life as they had known it was gone
    No predestination for an ordinary life
    We’re designed to live for something more
    There’s an invitation waiting patiently outside
    Knocking upon the door
    I heard Your voice
    Call to me
    The rest, as they say, is mystery
    How You knew me before my bones were formed
    Traced my scars and all my fears
    To trade in the pain of all these years
    For a second chance
    A broken life reborn
    Shelter from the fallout
    All the white knights melting away
    From a lifetime feeling phased out
    To the dawn of a brand new day
    I heard Your voice
    Call to me
    The rest, as they say, is mystery
    How You knew me before my bones were formed
    Traced my scars and all my fears
    To trade in the pain of all these years
    For a second chance
    A broken life reborn
    (Solo)
    I heard Your voice
    Call to me
    The rest, as they say, is mystery
    Why You chose me
    A broken life reborn
    Reborn
    Unto a brand new day
    We’d wished upon a million miles away
    To find out that You were waiting
    Never very far away
    So now our story will go on
    We say goodbye to broken hopes we’d dreamed upon
    And sail on to new horizons
    Life is not so far away
    You have made us Your sons and daughters
    And You showed us the way for the brokenhearted to finally be made whole
    To escape the shame of the things we’ve done
    And the pain of the things done to us
    …and the rest is mystery

    Is it wrong to admit that I've lost track of how many times I've listened to all 3 Project Aegis songs, and am now a growing fan of the main projects of all musicians involved? As a musician and Christian, I get so many chills by the music and lyrics of Matt Smith, and these songs (which I was introduced to shortly after becoming a fan of Theocracy), have gotten me into the prog rock/prog metal genre. I'd love to see all artists/bands involved in a full Project Aegis album!!!!

His voice has gotten much weaker over the years (though MASSIVE props to him for even being able to still hit the notes with any sort of power), whereas Daniel's has shown absolutely ZERO signs of deterioration. If anything, it has just gotten stronger. The dude is absurdly good. From the crystal clear tones to the raw power and the downright masterful placement of his vowels, it's just a perfect mix that creates a singer unlike any other.

    • @jakobfel2
      @jakobfel2 4 года назад +10

      I'd say it's definitely his best since I AM. Mirror of Souls is his true magnum opus and this song is downright incredible, but I AM's use of leitmotif and poetic descriptions of God is out of this world in terms of brilliance. What sold me on that fact is how the core motif of I AM (the melody at 3:12 in the chorus, for example) is an almost identical replica of the motif he used way back in '03 on the self-titled album in New Jerusalem around the bridge (also at 3:12). I also believe I hear a slower version of the motif, more triumphant in tone, in Easter during the orchestrations at the end but I might just be hearing things. Also, I'm not sure if it's intentional, but 3 and 12 are both holy numbers of God (3 for the Trinity and 12 for the Tribes of Israel, among other things) and considering how the motif seems to be symbolic of God the Father, it could very possibly have been intentional.
      Speaking of numbers, again, I may be looking too deeply into it but if you pay attention to this song, Matt uses threes very often. Three renditions of the chorus, the use of triplicate melodies in the verses, three solo parts for each vocalist (excluding Leah), at least three vocalists singing the choral vocals at all times and three vocalists singing the outro lines. Like I said, there's a good chance I'm really looking too deeply into this but knowing the level of intelligence that Matt pours into his music, it could be intentional symbolism when the songs are specifically talking about God and His greatness.

    Every time I listen to this, I'm reminded of why Daniel Heiman is one of my favorite vocalists. Obviously, his power, tone and range are fantastic but I also really love the way he places his vowels. On the last "and the rest is mystery" line, he goes from the "ee" sound to the "aah" sound, which opens up a bigger sound and feels more powerful. He does a lot of that across his various bands, I've noticed, and it's one thing that really gives him that signature sound.

    Matt is just unreal. There really isn't any better composer in power metal and he's top five as far as prog goes, no doubt, probably top three; only Devin Townsend has better-written prog overall, really. Matt's ear for melody and harmony is out of this world, his music and lyrics are crafted with such intelligence, his singing carries both technicality and emotion and he's seriously unbeaten. How anyone can say otherwise is just beyond me. I don't even really listen to Theocracy as much as I used to (mostly listening to post-rock/post-metal nowadays) but to this day, his work is just unbeatable.

      Welcome to the greatest prog/power band ever. In my book, Matt's the greatest writer of power metal and top 3 in terms of prog. We don't get albums very often (only 4 albums in a 17-year career) but that's because Matt is an absolute perfectionist with his music, meaning every album is as solid as it can be. Definitely one of my all-time favorite bands!

    I'm a Catholic and my Liturgical musical tradition is somewhat different to Protestant worship music.
    But this song is inspired by the Holy Spirit or I'm barking mad.
