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.

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.

The quickest 9 minutes of my life!!! Matt you’ve created a new magnum opus, perhaps your best work since Mirror of Souls!! Though all your music is on another level. Amazing work everyone.

[@pavolridrich3434]

You never had sex? :)

[@jakobfel2]

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.

[@jakobfel2]

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.

[@richnricher]

Alot of metal vocals do that and yes for powerful sound. Also the large debth vibration used in rock songs is easier with aah

Leah McHenry, she is the heavenly sound of angles they wanted, I'm sure. Ernie Topran pounding the skins and brings that ever so soft touch as the song needs, looks great back there playing and Val Allen Wood, he is fire on the guitar, I thought that thing was going to burst into flames, or the strings would just melt.

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.

Is it just me, or does Matt Smith's voice get better with age. He was phenomenal on this track.

Everything fits so nicely together, and it's well composed...each voice is perfect for each section...very refreshing!!

Brilliant song-writing Matt! Can't get enough of this.

Simply: Thank you.

More of this. All day. Every day. PLEASE. Pure GOLD. STELLAR. Did I say MORE PLEASE ?

Matt Smith é definitivamente um dos maiores, senão o maior, compositor do metal.

Matt you are amazing this song completely melts hearts, and zo good that Daniel Heiman can still melt faces

Matt, here is the idea for your next project .. You simply cannot let go of Daniel .. He is a must in the next project .. So, who to add that you have not? That answer is academic .. Floor Jansen .. A duet between Floor and Daniel .. That would be beyond epic! You have worked with Arjen in the past .. Arjen knows Floor .. Hell, add Arjen as well! Why not? Do we need to petition Ulterium to make this happen? Your writing, mixing, and mastering skills can be further stretched to unimaginable heights!

Unique unreal Daniel Heiman!!!

This is just fantastic! Great vocals from everyone and the harmonies are ridiculous, but Daniel steals the show!
