Taken off the album âMosaicâ (October 13th, 2023)
đ§ Stream, get it here:
Matt Smith: ââReturn To Dustâ is a prototypical midtempo anthem with a classic, massive Theocracy chorus. Not really progressive or anything, but infectious with a great riff and energy. The lyrics deal with the inevitability of death, and the choice of who or what weâre living for in the short time we get on this earth. The whole album runs the stylistic gamut youâve come to expect from Theocracy, from the progressive to the thrashy to the pensive to the majestic. So while âReturn To Dustâ doesnât represent the entire experience of Mosaic, consider it a nice appetizer for the full meal. Enjoy.â

Lyrics:
We parse the script unwritten line by line
The mystery of life filtered through time
A blank slate open-ended to begin
To balance with our own uncertain end, once again
Itâs appointed for man once to die
Maybe years, maybe tonight
No matter how hard we rage against the dying of the light
It comes for everyone
For all of us return to dust
An inventory of a lifetime passed
Of things ephemeral, and things that last
The hourglass runs out we know not when
To meet the Maker when our time has come to an end
Itâs appointed for man once to die
Maybe years, maybe tonight
No matter how hard we rage against the dying of the light
It comes for everyone
For all of us
(solo: Taylor)
When I donât know who to be
Will You watch over me as we walk to the end of the world?
They were calling for me, but You were all I could see
And Your voice was all I heard
For all that we do in this life without You is vanity
Itâs appointed for man once to die
Maybe years, maybe tonight
No matter how hard we rage against the dying of the light
It comes for all of us
Return to dust
