And the Rest Is Mystery - Project Aegis

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

I heard your voice

Call to me

The rest, as they say, is mystery

Why you chose me

A broken life 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 broken-hearted 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
