Matt comments: "“Mosaic” is one of my personal favorite Theocracy tracks of all time. At its heart it’s a throwback to the peak of power metal, a galloping and soaring singalong hymn. But it has everything I love about what we do: the melody, the power, the drama, the light and shade, the riffs. Conceptually, the song is about how we can only see the individual scenes of our lives, but lack the perspective to see the overall tapestry those scenes eventually combine to create. The good times, the bad times, the things we wish didn’t happen…they are all pieces that God uses to form whatever we eventually end up becoming. And we can certainly relate to that in our own journey as a band over the last few years. So there’s a little psychology, a lot of spirituality, a little nostalgia, and a healthy dose of wistfulness and wonder. And fittingly, this song takes you on a quite journey in just over five minutes."

Lyrics:
The Artisan designs
In a secret place
Moves with grace
Shifting seasons mark the time
As it comes and goes
With the wind that blows

And after all, the pieces fall
Landing where they may
You never left or chose to throw them all away
An unknown future, broken past
Like imperfect panes of glass
A window into the darkness

Picture perfect on the wall
I’m a step behind
Lost in time
My perspective ever flawed
Phantom imagery
Sensory
And after all, the pieces fall
Landing where they may
You never left or chose to throw them all away
An unknown future, broken past
Like imperfect panes of glass
Taking shape into something more

What a wonder, fireborn and unforsaken
Piece by broken piece to form
Unveiling this grand mosaic
Compositing the story of a life
Tonight
We are mosaic

Partial pages, scattered scenes
Nothing on their own
The great unknown
Blurry pictures on the screen
Focus pull unto
The master view

‘Cause after all, the pieces fall
Landing where they may
You never left or chose to throw us all away
An unknown future, broken past
Like imperfect panes of glass
Revealing the larger grand design

What a wonder, fireborn and unforsaken
Piece by broken piece to form
Unveiling this grand mosaic
Compositing the story of a life
Tonight
We are mosaic

(solo: Taylor)

Gallery, artistry
Mystery, great adventure
Mastery, harmony
History to remember
Like perspective of a woven tapestry
Shifting from the side we see

What a wonder, fireborn and unforsaken
Piece by broken piece to form
Unveiling this grand mosaic
Compositing the story of a life
Tonight
We are mosaic
