Townsend, Devin - Rejoice Lyrics






Now we've arrived in a new time and world and elements are we of gold
How many times were we able to see the infinite void of the soul?
All that way gonna give it away?
You're gonna give it away to some muscle?
Long, long way till the pain is at bay, so hit it one more time!
Fight!
Along that way got the temper at bay finding new ways to loosen the load
And we will settle the day when the son will obey and the gods of it all will implode
Long, long way you're-a-giving away, you're gonna give it away to the muscle
You've come a long, long way so be not afraid you've gotta use your mind!

Alien world
Arrogant mental
This world seems arrogant, sick and demented
Alien world
So you bet your body and soul!

It hurts so much and that is why they fear it
But never fear, all is here!
It hurts so much and that is why we fear it
But pay no mind
Rejoice!

Don't fear it!
Don't fear it!

I know you'll follow
I know your war

It hurts so much and that is why they fear it
But never fear, all is here!
It hurts so much and that is why we fear it
But pay no mind
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Rejoice!

Townsend, Devin Rejoice Comments
  1. R.... B....

    I really liked that riff. This is such amazing.

  2. W.... ....

    I bet if Devin released the backlog of unreleased demos and b-sides (as they are, because some demos already have a very high standard), he'd double his discography over night. There are rare cases where I just can't find anything bad about something, or someone. It's like Devin and his crew made exactly the albums I wanted to hear with Z2 and Epicloud.

  3. F.... ....

    Man, I just came to the realization that I've treated Devin Townsend the exact same way that I criticize other people treating me. When this album was released, I didn't give it the proper attention and at that point Devin was already in the "genius" category for many of us that had been exposed to his music right around that time. I've taken Devin's talent and work for granted. If any other artist out there released an album like this in 2014, the entire world would be raving about "this new band who came to save rock". But as we already knew Devin and had high expectations for any of his releases, we treated this as "just another Devin Townsend album". This album is a fucking MASTERPIECE and just now I realize the true power of it. When I really think about it, I think Devin released too much stuff in such a short period of time that we simply could not have time to digest it all. If he would wait 3 or 4 years to release material, I feel it would be much more appreciated due to the true rarity of it (we put value on things based on rarity) Anyway, nobody asked for this wall of text and I think my sanity is already gone at this point, might as well fully indulge in it then and make the best out of it xDDD

  4. E.... S....

    The vocalist sound ever so slightly like Jason Newsted

  5. A.... ....

    What is the lyrics that Anneke is singing in the background? Or is it just a vocalization?

  6. k.... w....

    So fuckin catchy !

    k.... w....

    koudi wraeth - 😂 tru

  7. C.... S....

    Check Alexis Armion out! incredible guy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQl_rMw0WYk&t=148s

  8. J.... P....

    Lovly tune

  9. p.... ....

    I am a Christian and have been listening to Devy for years and I swear there are subtle Christian undertones to his music. His music is so uplifting, perfect mix of my religious upbringing and love of metal music!!!

    p.... ....

    powergroover19 - that’s awesome to see you hear in this comment section, I was just sitting through the newest comments . God bless I’m a metal fan and love Christ unashamed 🙌

    p.... ....

    That is because religious nutcases appropriated of anything positive as their own. And also because semi-barbarian average joes treat any positive music to be "gospel music". So fuck you guys

    p.... ....

    There are and he admits it. He uses influences of it. He's an agnostic and isn't sure about it all.

  10. N.... W....

    is that Radner, Devin's son, pointing?

  11. R.... S....

    Underrated song.

  12. A.... ....

    This is my Marvel Avengers: Infinity War theme. It fits perfectly.

  13. M.... ....

    Telescopes are fuckin' gay, bud.

  14. h.... ....

    Anneke has the sexiest voice I've ever heard

  15. �.... ....

    GOOD 😄

  16. f.... r....

    This song could be used as an effective tool against bullying.

  17. F.... T....

    Awesome stuff. Is he talking about weight lifting?

  18. h.... ....

    holy fuck i saw this live. this was so motherfucking epic i fucking tell you it was so fuckin EPIC !!!

  19. T.... ....

    Anybody know what lyric the female voice is singing? I'm dying to know...

  20. T.... ....

    INCREDIBLE SOUND! Loved the spacey atmospherics combined with power rock and his POWERFUL vocals-it's genius. Just wish the lyrics had something I could hang on to. It would make it so much more still.

  21. A.... H....

    Saw them live today, fuckin great🤘🏻

  22. G.... ....

    2014 !?!?!?!?!? Why was I made not aware of this????

  23. S.... M....

    i was on lots of weed after i broke up with my 4 year long gf two months ago, she walked away from me one day, i ended up in this song after listening to other songs from straping younglad, its 2 hours now after i replayed this a lot, im crying, i feel fine but sad, this man makes magic

    S.... M....

    hope the memory does not kill the music for you in the future. some songs i still can't listen to long after I stopped loving her .

    but I can tell you this there will come a day when it will occurred to you have not thought of her for five minutes,and that is the light at the end of a dark tunnel .

    I'm here now kids dogs house and love that is so much better than what was, what I hoped, and what i deserve .im stronger ,not as nice perhaps.but it works .so i think i needed to go through that to make where i am all it is .

    if you don't know it already allow me tell you, it will be ok .

    btw you know that feeling in your chest like if someone has grabbed all your internal organs and formed a strong fist with them ? that stops too .

    all those fucking love song and poems yet nobody prepared me for the very real literal pain at the end of a love. "heart ache " is not abstract

    S.... M....

    that is true, after this iam done with partners on my life, all i got from my experience were nothing but good memories that do me no good, if i could id erase her from my mind, but i cant, all i can do is just endure and move on with my life...

    S.... M....

    Hang in there brother you may not know it yet but the best is yet to come. And you'll be a better man and be readier and wiser so that you can enjoy it even more. In the meantime if it hurts do as I did : weight lifting! There's more truth and solace in the iron than any weed and alcohol

  24. �.... �....

    круто...очень круто...шквал энергии...спасибо вам

  25. s.... h....

    Devin is simply amazing. ALIEN WORLD! What the hell is that kid pointing at ?!?!

  26. T.... L....

    This is terrible, damn autoplay taking me to crap.

  27. R.... ....

    Devin has some sick ethereal melodies.

  28. c.... ....

    This songs so good. and powerful

  29. c.... ....

    So inspirational.

  30. Z.... A....

    Just fucking awesome!!!!

  31. D.... R....

    Personally, I'm just now kinda discovering Devin Townsend and all this stuff sounds freakin awesome. Don't know what people are complaining about.

    D.... R....

    Heh, I think most of them are arguing about which album is the best and not whether they like it or not. :)

    D.... R....

    back when this album was released, Devin was at the peak of his "youtube exposure" if we can call it like that, and he was releasing A LOT of fucking stuff around this time. I think we all got spoiled from such abundance of material. It's just now in 2019 that I'm truly realizing how good this album is. Another problem is that he's one of those musicians who are ahead of their time, usually those kinds of albums don't get the deserved appreciation at time of release, only much after.

  32. D.... ....

    Spotify snuck this in my discover weekly list, I listen to a lot of prog and alt music, and it struck me as very different, coming from someone who's heard of Devin Townsend a lot, but never listened to him. Definitely a unique song.

    D.... ....

    Definitely a unique ARTIST...

  33. F.... W....

    1.25 more speed, much better

  34. J.... F....

    I thought telescopes were gay

    J.... F....

    haha i forgot all about that classic

    J.... F....

    I'm italian and "telescopi" here means also "you fuck those bitches"

    J.... F....

    I think most of the gay people would agree with me when I state, that most telescopes look pretty straight

    J.... F....

    i didn't know telescopes had a sexual orientation

    J.... F....

    Sodolescu Rares they are. Mine is always looking into the neighbors window.

  35. S.... L....

    What is anneke singing?

    S.... L....

    I know you’ll follow,
    I know your war

    S.... L....

    It's a lyric video dude....

    S.... L....

    Stanley Lobo yep

  36. G.... G....

    Don't fear it

  37. S.... ....

    This is the song that goes through my head when I'm trying to take a monster rocky shit

    S.... ....

    Had this song going in the other room while I had the sick shits.....It was a painfully pleasant experience. Nothing helps to pass stool better than epic music.

    S.... ....

    DON’T FEAR IT!

  38. J.... ....

    he sounds like the guy from static x. rip.

  39. F.... W....

    "it hurts so much" specifically that line gets to me so much

    F.... W....

    "you bet your body and soul" too i just wow

  40. M.... ....

    I'm completely new to Devin but why the majority of songs has the vocals with too low volume? His voice is cool but I think he has some shame of this Lol

  41. i.... ....

    possibly one of the best albums i have EVER heard, good lord

    i.... ....

    +papa emeritus sorry I am not holier than thou...

    i.... ....

    incubrian he's aussie, hes already got it pretty bad..

    i.... ....

    papa emeritus lol

    i.... ....

    Aaaannndddd your addicted to devy..

    i.... ....

    I am a better kinder human beacause of him

  42. T.... ....

    When i hear this on the radio all i could make out was "sun/son will obey" , and fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck searching for it with only those lyrics all i kept getting was some church songs and some kids singing the Obedince song, its a good thing dedicated sites exist for searching by lyrics ;D im so happy right now

    T.... ....

    Where are they playing this on the radio? Where I live it's mostly stuff from the mid 2000s and earlier. Like grunge and pop punk and whatnot

    T.... ....

    Well, they do play a lot of different genres of rock and metal on the radio, the station is Z-Rock in Bulgaria. I have heard it only once on there tho xD

    T.... ....

    +Blob The All-Knowing Lucky. At least it's kind of rock. And you've got sometimes really good songs in the pop punk world. Where I live, Radio just put shitty pop electro songs (David Guetta, Rihanna, ...). I don't listen to the radio anymore...

  43. D.... F....

    I can honestly say I've listened to that track a thousand times and I don't feel like stopping, I think that's enough said :D

  44. M.... ....

    I've barely started to discover Devin and with so many albums I wanted to ask....where should I fucking start? lol

    M.... ....

    @MisterGreenw00d If you want something close to this track, I would recommend Epicloud/Epiclouder and his newest album. If you want something different I'd recommend checking out his earlier albums.

    M.... ....

    @RunicDragons Ok thanks. I don't have any preferences honestly. I've listen to bits of every of his stuff and I mostly like them all. :)

    M.... ....

    +MisterGreenw00d ocean machine, got to be some of his best work imo

    M.... ....

    Depends. IMO deconstruction is his master-work, but it is an absolute monster to digest, just go through his catalogue from the past through to now, you won't be disappointed :)

    M.... ....

    +MisterGreenw00d ocean machine, terria, city (by SYL). Everyone knows this is his holy trinity

  45. J.... A....

    I love it

  46. m.... ....

    Congrats on the Juno!!!

  47. U.... ....

    who are "they" in this song?

    U.... ....

    +UltimateMadness2010 That is a good question. Actually, in general, the lyrics to this song are so vague that they could be appropriated to almost any subject. I guess that is some kind of a talent as well..

  48. C.... F....

    Just love this! Can't believe it took me so long to find Devin Townsend Project. Better late than never.

  49. D.... ....

    Freakin' kickass

  50. A.... ....

    Brilliant. Love this!!!

  51. F.... B....

    if you dont like this song, then you're prolly one of those mongoloid heavy metal meatheads that think it's not "brutal" enough, cuz we all know that if its not bogged down with incoherent madness and extremely heavy and "brutal" shit, you think it's garbage. you're the kinda people the Metalocalypse show makes fun of.

    F.... B....

    Well said. http://vjetropev.blogspot.com/2014/03/devin-townsend-ultimate-guide_15.html 

    F.... B....

    Dude I'm into all types of metal I just found out about DTP today and holy shit I love this

  52. P.... a....

    i hope devin had enough of this "progressive" stuff and goes back to what he is best.
    Devin pls do something like SYL again after the hiatus.And the next time you wanna do something "progressive" pls listen to some dream theater and threshold first.

    P.S. im big fan of Devin so dont say i am troll or something like that

    P.... a....

    @fl00d If you say meh for threshold(one of the greatest prog metal bands,way better than dream theater in my opinion)and praise dtp then your music taste isnt better than someone who listens to one direction.Cuz i bet you didnt even listened to them you listened like 1 or 2 songs from their latest album and thats it.Because i think that if someone says the march of progress or hypothetical are meh albums than they are either braindead or got rly bad taste.Advice from me go listen to those 2 albums without hating me just because i disagree with you.

    P.... a....

    @Phil anslemo
    I don't hate you - I just think you're full of shit.

    P.... a....

    @fl00d lol thats very mature from you.And i think you are little piece of shit but who knows you can be a bigger one.

    P.... a....

    @Phil anslemo
    Yeah sure whatever Mr "One Direction"...
    I will actually check those two albums out though, and pit them against DTP. You make some lofty claims, so if you're wrong I'll be back to tear you a new one.

    P.... a....

    Ew Dream Theater

  53. Z.... T....

    I hope he comes out with commentary for Sky Blue and Dark Matters in the near future.  I've always really appreciated them and I think more artists should do that.

  54. s.... t....

    @rg2027x 

  55. C.... W....

    so basically ziltoid and the warrior queen are on casualties of cool moon...?

  56. M.... D....

    I am totally digging this.

  57. M.... ....

    (Don't hate I love this band)

    Am I the only one that noticed that at the start of the song it sounded like Elmo?

  58. S.... ....

    I like it , fuck

  59. K.... T....

    I was first disappointed in the new albums, but after a few listens I must say I love them!

  60. R.... R....

    I've listen to the album for a week now, and... it's pretty f*ckin cool I must say.

  61. M.... P....

    Three albums out of my top ten for the year are devin townsend albums. Sky Blue is beautiful, melodic, and you loose yourself. Dark Matters is hilarious, full of epic/prog riffs and causalities of cool is stunning. I see some people bitching, and every time Devin releases an album people tend to bitch and moan, and say it's not as good as previous works. Well, you can go suck a bag of dicks, or enjoy to truly incredible music.

  62. R.... W....

    This is a really awesome track 

  63. P.... C....

    Devin is a genius

  64. K.... S....

    Devin Townsend is the best. Period.

  65. B.... D....

    DEVIN = GOD = DEVIN

  66. M.... H....

    Devin should honestly just stick to Casualties of Cool, that was by far the best thing he's done since Ki. His solo music since Epiccloud is just "Strapping Lite", quasi operatic "dance" metal music that just capitalizes on his "crazy" persona and gets stale after a few listens, if it was ever interesting to begin with. Of course, the IMN crowd is hating on this because of its marked resemblance to Disturbed in Devins vocal style, but personally I'm just waiting for him to put out an album like Terria again.

    M.... H....

    lol what a pretentious pounce. 

  67. R.... ....

    One of my favorites from the new album. What a good artist Devin is!

  68. i.... ....

    Is that Anneke on the chorus?

    i.... ....

    iseeu1980 yes!

    i.... ....

    No it's vladimir poutine

  69. D.... C....

    I like sings jonathan davis

  70. F.... a....

    This was very entertaining. Guess I'll be getting this CD and adding it to my mountain of Devin Townsend. Devin I totally dig the fact of prolific bodies of work. As long it's high quality, and artistic, not just a product. Always from the heart. I will buy your new opus.

  71. I.... ....

    I LOVE Anneke's descant. 

  72. P.... P....

    Such a different feel from is other stuff, which is the case when listening to all of Devin's work. Its very trippy, I like it!

  73. h.... ....

    In the middle part of the song (the bit more quiet) I feel it like some sort of resemblance of Pixillate.

  74. A.... ....

    The album is like Epicloud on steroids. 

    A.... ....

    @Aratharr And coffee

  75. C.... S....

    It's different and i love it.

  76. t.... ....

    The one thing that always stood out to me about Devin is the one thing that makes me love him over all: Reaching out of "comfort zone". The variety of styles he has done in the past couple years astonishes me. And that to me, is what makes a successful artist. Someone that takes something completely out of his/her zone and molds it into their own. Devin takes so many styles and brings his element of whimsical/magical music and marries them. I listened to the entire album today (including Dark Matter) and I can say I'm pleased to see Devin is still doing his thing. My review on his music tends to lean as biases. Because yes, I'm a huge Devy fan (tattoo of the DTP logo and all), but I can't help but to once again jump to the pro side of this fight. Devin, you fucking killed it. So happy I pre ordered and got the Ziltoid t-shirt.

  77. P.... T....

    Actually the album is much more serious than it seems initially. I would say, in the beginning there is a bit of anxiety, but in the end he is sad, as if saying goodbye to someone.  It's not like Epicloud and Addicted as it could seem initially.

    P.... T....

    Devy was going through a rough time when he wrote Sky Blue and Z2. He was dealing with a lot of death during the process of writing these albums......his cat was mauled to death by a wild animal, and his mother in law passed away. A New Reign was heavily influenced by all of it as you can tell from the lyrics. That's why there are a lot of darker aspects to Sky Blue. (Devy said all this in an interview)

  78. P.... H....

    So much better than 'Z2'!

  79. S.... ....

    My god. It hurts so much. And that is why I love it!

  80. D.... B....

    This song is pretty bad ass. When my pre-order came in the first tracks that really hit my were Midnight Sun, A New Reign, and Universal Flame. The former 2 sounded a bit like Terria meets Addicted meets Epicloud meets Ghost. Those 2 are really amazing tracks and are up with his best in my opinion. This record is great. Dark Matters is just amazing, the amount of detail and the controlled chaos is brilliant.

  81. V.... U....

    Telescopes are gay!

  82. s.... ....

    meh. I don't think this will top deconstruction. nothing will :P

    s.... ....

    +spagetti001 +1

    s.... ....

    For some people, Deconstruction is just too hard to digest :D

  83. A.... M....

    Groovy! I like it :)

  84. L.... A....

    Just as things normally happen, the singles are a horrible representation of the actual album. Sky Blue is actually a much more poppy and electronic influenced album than even Addicted was. A lot more of Anneke's voice, and more clean singing from Devin than on Addicted. Less choirs than Epicloud, but it's generally a bit more in the vain of Save Our Now. Dark Matters is a lot like a more listenable version of Deconstruction. The massive choirs and heaviness are carried over, but there's less "wank" and less musical silliness.

  85. L.... D....

    Reminds me of Gemini Syndrome, who I love.

  86. C.... ....

    It was a little meh for me on first listen, but it's growing on me a lot.

  87. M.... ....

    This track is ace, loving it

  88. D.... N....

    This song is like a mix between Addicted! and Infinity albums. I like it very much.

  89. R.... T....

    Yes Devy!!! Keep rocking man. Don't listen to the critics, just do what you like doing bro. I'm not even sure what people are saying most of the time with the amount of nitpicking.

  90. e.... ....

    Devin kicks out a lot of music and i'm grateful for that. He's giving the consumer more choice. If you're a fan you don't have to buy all of it, only buy what you like. He kicks out a lot of music because he likes to experiment. I love artists that have the confidence to do that. He makes music for himself primarily and for his fans secondly. Real art is about fun not money. Devin Townsend is a living legend.

  91. M.... ....

    After hearing this song, it is SO HARD not to download the leaked version to hear it in advance! But I will hold out. Somehow. I want to hear Devy's full vision rather than an old mix. I will wait for my 3 disc pack and shirt to show up.

    Somehow.

    >_<

  92. S.... ....

    New fav. song!

  93. E.... U....

    Devin is a genius unparalleled. What is not to enjoy about anything he puts out? He is so far beyond the norm, stop judging and just listen. Music is subject to the listener, so I really don't give a rat's ass about anyone else's "review", mine is the only one that counts to me.

  94. P.... ....

    Devin FTW

  95. J.... P....

    Anneke \m/ <3 <3 <3 <3

  96. s.... ....

    Thank you, Devin. Your music makes life worth living. I look forward to seeing you in November.

  97. M.... B....

    So Disturbed sounding that it makes me sick.

  98. B.... S....

    This reminds me of something that would be off of Synchestra or something!  I like it!

  99. M.... J....

    Addicted 2.0, but clearly influenced and refined by the last few years of writing. Excellent addition to his amazing catalog!

    M.... J....

    I completely agree!

  100. J.... B....

    This kid in the artwork is dressed casual-Devin style. Intentional reference or simple coincidence?

    J.... B....

    I've noticed the same thing!

    J.... B....

    Jaromir Bracki
    Ok... but what is he pointing at?!?

    J.... B....

    shawn h. He sees Ziltoid coming

    J.... B....

    It's very generic clothing whether its deliberate or not lol

    J.... B....

    it's just because he had a kid and we know that when people have kids they turn all corny and shit xDDDD No, dude, a replica of your DNA will not be the messiah or anything, drop the nonsense
