COLLIDE & SPARK
Welcome to the Shadowdweller
Derelict
I’m everywhere and nowhere that you care to see
Just open up your eyes to me
I’m the one forsaken and forgotten
The broken one they never want to talk about
The system chewed me up and spat me out
I’m not your joy, I’m not your pride, I’m not your paradise
I’m not your dream, I’m not the light reflected in your eyes tonight
So lay your judgment down, and gaze upon me, eyes of mercy
Rise up and gather round, a revolution taking
Time for the timeless and hope for the hopeless
Forging a fire to burn through the dark
It’s not just a dream, it’s a chance to collide and spark
Heroes and sages, the kings or the servants
Wisdom of ages is making a mark
It’s not just a moment, it’s time to collide and spark
Carry on in tight formation
Limits gone, erasing separation if we move as one
There’s so much work yet to be done
If many hands can lightly lift a burden
And many feet can march in synchronicity
What a sight to see
We are the light, we are the army set to mobilize
The sons of fortune with the years taken for granted in our eyes
The mission has begun, we’ll carry home our sons and daughters
Reclaiming one by one, to save them from the slaughter
Time for the timeless and hope for the hopeless
Forging a fire to burn through the dark
It’s not just a dream, it’s a chance to collide and spark
Heroes and sages, the kings or the servants
Wisdom of ages is making a mark
It’s not just a moment, it’s time to collide and spark
Lethargy
Apathy
My quicksand soliloquy
The cadence marches on until the coldest heart is beating faster
Eyes to see
Sympathy
Enigmatic reverie
To break out of this dream and trade inaction for the primal scream of life
Activate
Animate
Impulse quicken and create
The body comes alive after the lightning strike
Another call to action
Actuate
Validate
Energize and motivate
Velocity and motion starts a chain reaction
I remember worthless gilded tongues
Rise, December Waking Ones
All our past omissions washed away
Let our words breed action on this day
Solo (Sigfridsson)
Time for the timeless and hope for the hopeless
Forging a fire to burn through the dark
It’s not just a dream, it’s a chance to collide and spark
Heroes and sages, the kings or the servants
Wisdom of ages is making a mark
It’s not just a moment, it’s time to collide and spark
I am a recent Theocracy listener and really love the Easter song. I love these projects and hope there is more to come. As a longtime Christian, it is only in recent years where I’ve been able to worship the Lord with my favorite genre of music! I’m grateful for all the music I’ve been exposed, but more grateful for hard rock and metal Christian music. Rock on In Jesus Name. 🙏🏽
Amen brother! Praise our everlasting Creator! Alpha and Omega!
The power behind Nils voice never fails to impress
I had never listened to him sing before this song, but he honestly has one of the best voices in metal
But Mat Smith though.
You can't deny that his voice is pretty awesome.
Sim viva Nils e amigos
@@austindolan3142 -- I hope in the past year you have found your way to Pagan's Mind. If you love Nils here, you will simply adore him with Pagan's Mind!
Listen to "Full Circle," the recording of their nonpareil performance at ProgPower 2014 in Atlanta. Utterly fantastic, and the single greatest performance I've ever witnessed. Bar none!
@@austindolan3142 a few years ago he covered the Christmas song O Holy Night. OMG is all I can say
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!!!!
Wow! A metal girl who actually looks like a normal person!! Love it!!!
And I actually appreciated that comment. 😉 Even though I can get quite fed up with always beeing commented on my looks... We're in it for the music, right? 🤘
@@elinredin9859 absolutely! I don't know why they all want to look like some sort of alien or something!
@@elinredin9859 great voice BTW 😁
@@elinredin9859 Wearing what you like that counters in-group conventions is much more metal than wearing the very same t-shirts your parents wore to spite your grandparents.
@@pedroteran5885 well said my friend, well said.
And this is why Matt Smith is one of my favorite artists
If I could like this a million times, it would not be enough. Matt Smith should be writing, producing, and performing songs with the best musicians on the planet, and Project Aegis proves through the law of attraction that he has what it takes and that other high performers want to collaborate with him. Well done, His good and faithful servant. Listening to your music extends the joy in my life beyond boundaries as it connects me to Jesus for a transformed life.
That Chorus man!!!!! So addictive
Each vocalist is fantastic. The writing is amazing. Love this.
Thank you teachers. I have the utmost respect for what you do : )
I! LOVE! PROJECT AEGIS! They actively seek out multiple lead singers and bring them together awesomely. What's sad is that it showcases the best of their voices that you don't find in their own songs. That's what I find truly tragic.
Still I believe this is the best song I have ever heard from Matt....love Theocracy but this is another level melodically...... And good Lord that dark haired guy is a vocal beast
Check out pagans mind
Pagans mind,my favourite power prog metal band in last 10 years. Fucking beasts.
@@rodrigao05 Their front man is a universalist tho
@@joshuatheo1419 Who cares? Pagan's Mind is absolutely god tier, especially their first 3 albums... Boy some of the best stuff that's ever graced my ears
@@joshuatheo1419 and even if he's not a christian, if your as a Christian working together with non Christians you can make good new colleagues, friends or more. And you show them some of the love of God and why not bring people together for a great cause to help humanity
I really want to see Project Aegis making an album! This is so good, and it’s helping those in need, that only makes it even greater.
Nils is so much fun to watch. He just gets into it.
Matth Smith,You've really got the nerve man!I really love to your metal rock songs.I hope you all guys stay serving the Lord with your great music.Keep safe and God bless you all☝️🙏🙏🙏👍💪😎😇
NILS ❤🤘
Matt, you knocked out of the park again. Well done everyone.
So good to see Nils sing after a long time. New Pagan's Mind material out soon hopefully.
please yes ! still waiting
We can only hope and pray for new Pagan's Mind in these dark times. New Pagan's Mind might even turn Russia out of Ukraine.
We need a new Theocracy album...
*multiple
Yes
The guitar player Marcus is very good!
I like it.
Nils K Rue🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Great vocalists all the way around👍
I am so hanging out for a full Project Aegis album!
I want that so much! ❤️
100% ROCK FOR AN 100% AWESOME CHARITY! Matt is such a natural and his talents are off the charts.
It's great that this awesome song finally gets a proper video presentation! I've always loved the song since it was released. All three Project Aegis songs are masterpieces!
I just discovered your “project” tonight and am blown away. Matt’s voice takes me back to the Canadian band, Triumph. Some of the best music I’ve heard in a very long time. - Randy
Project Aegis full album Kickstarter anyone? 100% donation to charity of Matt's choice. I'll pay big bucks if it includes a framed record signed by all artists. :)
Nils is Killer like Always, such a powerful voice 🤘🏻
wait what.
Another hit out of the ball park! Matt is a Musical Genius!
OMG. What did I just watch?? amazing..
Wow. There is actually a dude that can sing higher than Matt. Also, just wow. Another awesome creation.
Whahaha you rlly made me laugh today with this comment on a tough day
There's SO much to love about this video! Matt's absolutely brilliant song writing, fantastic vocals from all, great guitar work (especially Markus' solo). Sheer metal power! Then there's Matt wearing the respirator while playing the bass....cracked me up.
Massive masterpiece in every detail. The composing must been heavenly inspired
Very much enjoyed the song and more as this is helping people in great need. Thanks Aegis
Musically diverse singers belting this out in majestic ways... and Matt Smith shows again his genius in this song! :)
I just discovered Project Aegis today and all I can say is wow!! I absolutely love Theocracy, but this is freaking amazing!!!!
Can we see a new theocracy album in 2020
I'm buddies with Val, the lead guitarist, and Theo's working on a new album. Fear not! It's on its way. Just a matter of time. :)
@@theheadlessguitarist2433 are you sure?
@@theheadlessguitarist2433 can't wait 🤘
Gunslinger Oh my God, I really hope that’s true! ❤️
@@saiko_1 it is! I'm in regular touch with Val. It's really happening - it's just a matter of time!
I really love the Avantasia way of making songs with different people for each song. Especially different vocals.
One again an amazing song.
Nik Manolov Ayreon way 🤘🏻
no new pagans mind album
this will have to to do
LOVE NILS!
Matth Smith užasný zpěv
Magnificent!! With all the power of God!! Amen

Very Good .
Matt, you are awesome .This Elin is very beautiful and has a sensational voice .
God Bless Mr. Smith for bringing all these INCREDIBLE musicians and people together to help people in need. The talent complied in these songs is OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Wow, just found this today. Pure gold!!
Another tasteful guitarsolo, as they use to be.....👊
Amazing. You're all amazing singers and beautiful people. Bless, and stay metal!
How have I ever heard this before?! The refrain brings a tear... Beautiful
Live Nils K Rue and friends 👍
Thank you guys from TN!
love the Candlemass shirt, whilst playing metal on the opposite side of the metal spectrum
I see Project Aegis, I click. Thank you.
Amazing song. That girl that sings is so pretty and really nails it!
Who is she ?
I love how he gets a crazy band and it works omg awesome
Matt Smith continues to blow me away. The sheer amount of talent that guy possesses...
Hell yeah! been too long since ive heard Nils again.. hopefully PM isn't dead :O
Nils isn't a Christian tho, I heard.
He believes in universalism (a heresy)
@@joshuatheo1419 Yeah, his views are more in line with the New Age/spiritualist movement, sadly, but this song is still phenomenal and we should pray for him.
@@jakobfel2 Yes.
@@joshuatheo1419 "...for whoever is not against us is for us."
@@crufflerrick actually, Jesus said the opposite.
"If you're not for Me, you're against Me"
Nil is a amazing!!! The Best Project ever!!!
Great Song
4:15 Matt is saying: Kai Hansen, I'am your fan!!
Fabulous Collaboration. Spot on singers, fat and excellent guitar sound and the extraordinary Markus Sigfridsson with a wonderful solo. I love it!
The Metal Opera Pt III ??? HAHAHA Amazing!
The power metal soul I miss nowadays... Thanks Mark for another one anthem! ❤️🙏
Matt Smith uno de los mejores.!! Espero algun dia poder ver Project Aegis en concierto, seria genial.!!
Goosebumps...
Nice Job :)
May God continue blessing you guys :)
Pagans mind! Awesome!!!
Great song. Love Nils.
I can listen this amazing song for hours!!!! Matt is a great songwriter.
Ja acordar com som novo deles é tudo de bom!!pra cimas deles Matt Smith!!😍😍😍😍😍🇧🇷👏
Did not expect to see a video for this one, given its age! Also, gotta love the Matt Smith humor at 3:28 hahaha
I do feel bad for people years from now who stumble on this video and have no idea why he records that bass line in a mask. They'll have no idea the context of the COVID crisis raging at the time of recording... LOL
@@j.j.blodgett7204 Unfortunately, I doubt we'll be able to forget this whole thing because of how politicians have exploited a virus with an absurdly high survival rate all to gain power and money.
He looks like a space alien. LOL
BRASIL 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Never ceases to amaze me... Greetings from Argentina
Epic, Brillant, Powerful, Righteous, Soulful!
Everything I've ever wanted in a power metal song
