Artist/Band: 10,000 Maniacs
Lyrics for Song: Let The Mystery Be
Lyrics for Album: Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure & Unknown Recordings [2004]



[ Iris DeMent ]



[ From her debut album: Infamous Angel ]



Chorus:

Everybody's wondering what and where they all came from

Everybody's worrying 'bout where they're gonna go

When the whole thing's done

Nobody knows for certain,

And so it's all the same to me

I Think I'll just let the mystery be



Some say once gone, you're gone forever

Some say you're gonna come back

Some say you rest in the arms of the Savior

If in sinful ways you lack

Some say that they're comin' back in a garden

Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas

I Think I'll just let the mystery be



Some say they're going to place called Glory

And I ain't sayin' it ain't a fact

But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory

And I don't like the sound of that

I believe in love and I live my life accordingly

But I choose to let the mystery be


Let The Mystery Be

Released on the 2004 compilation Campfire Songs, 'Let The Mystery Be' by 10,000 Maniacs stands as a quintessential example of the band's atmospheric indie-folk sound. The track features the group's signature blend of ethereal vocals and lush, layered instrumentation, characteristic of their work during the early-to-mid 1990s. While the song does not appear on their major studio albums, its inclusion on this collection highlights the breadth of their discography beyond their primary releases. The recording captures the band's ability to evoke a sense of quiet wonder and introspection, themes often explored in their songwriting. It remains a staple for fans seeking the group's more intimate and moody side, distinct from their more upbeat tracks found elsewhere in their catalog.
