From our concept album "Question Everything", in which each song features a different scientific figure from history who faced hardships and/or persecution on the way to having their work acknowledged. This song is about Abbot Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) "The Father of Modern Genetics".

Lyrics:
Born 1822, from humble means he came
A quiet academic bound into a holy order
Engrossed in study of typical sativum
A famed discovery was observed
Father of our modern understanding
Of what's flowing through our veins
Finder of the pieces hidden deep away
In you and me
Heed what the abbot has to say
His truth will show the way
What paves the way for the complexities of life?
Is there a code that can determine future form and figure?
A simple rationale of blending would suffice
Yet persevering patience will confirm
A brilliant find was cast aside
Lost within its time
No favor in sight
A blow to his pride
If only words would flow more freely
They'd know how
This work is worth more than they see
And I'd show them all
The greatest finding of our century
No, I'm at the mercy of my mind
Years spent in careful study
Not recognized or dignified
Thrown away and forced to wait
For another day
My time will come
He never lived to see his findings justified
Yet thankfully his studies did arise

Thank you so much for being the soundtrack to my academic career. I'm a trans PoC on the spectrum and your music really helps me keep fighting to get my PhD

I am disappointed in myself that it took me this long to find out Helion Prime made a new album.
So. Good.

Everything from Helion Prime disserves a like

[@mica7191]

Absolutely agree. So much talent and youth energy put into music

[@dmitriisheroshenko2566]

Liked before I watched

[@mica7191]

John reminds me of Primal Fear vocalist because of power in his vocals

[@Javier-qk7ms]

If there is math rock then this is... science metal?

[@hughmann3952]

You magnificent bastard, that is EXACTLY what this should be filed under.

[@CarlosZema]

Outstanding vocal performance! And great song!

[@ChaiElemental]

My geneticist metalhead heart is so happy right now

[@matteocosci1393]

best power metal album of 2020, au pair with Judicator's 'Let There Be Nothing' of course

[@Siolarty19]

Definitely their best album.

[@squirerassilon352]

100% agree. I liked Sozos' voice but, ehh, this album is so much better for having Heather writing the lyrics again and doesn't have a really long stinker at the end lol

[@grahamturner1290]

Excellent.

[@kawasakimadman450]
