The wind it howls Down empty streets and alleyways The people run To get inside before its too late The sky goes dark The hail it drops from blackened clouds The lightening strikes And sets the trees a blaze with fire Broken homes and broken dreams 100 miles around..no one will ever be the same Broken lives and shattered dreams How does one find the strength to build their lives again? The sirens sound The ambulance race up and down the streets An angry mob, of people wondering how this came to be There was no sign No warning to prepare for all of this We all survived..we could have suffered much more loss then this Broken homes and broken dreams 100 miles around..no one will ever be the same Broken lives and shattered dreams How does one find the strength to build their lives again? The day the west winds came And let us know there was a price to pay The day the west winds came And let us know we need to make a change What kind of world will there be fifty years from now? No lakes or forests for our children to explore What kind of world will there be fifty years from now? These violent storms will be the least of our concerns. The wind it blows Down busy streets and corridors No angry mobs..just people searching for a remedy The clouds are gone Lets hope they wont return and strike again We know the price..we'll pay if we don't try and find a way Broken homes and broken dreams 100 miles around..no one will ever be the same Broken lives and shattered dreams How does one find the strength to build their lives again? The day the west winds came And let us know there was a price to pay The day the west winds came And let us know we need to make a change

Bright eyes with dimmer switches flickering at night, Praying for a sated stomach and a clean shirt. Bought lies and endless wishes shimmer in the light, Waiting for a broken daydream in the midst of all the hurt. Won’t you care for these poor souls? Won’t you fill their empty bowls? Can’t you drag them from these holes? Won’t you hold their empty hands? Give them more than hopeless plans, Give them all the heart commands. Small insect acrobats are flying through the air, Like a swarming, crawling halo, shunned and broken. Write all your wishes on the bottom of your bed, And hope that when you wake you’ll have a gift to open. More daily sorrow, Wait for tomorrow. There’s still great hope in losing situations. How do you sleep, destroying your creations? Bright eyes with dimmer switches flickering at night, Praying for a sated stomach and a clean shirt. Bought lies and endless wishes shimmer in the light, Waiting for a broken daydream in the midst of all the hurt. Won’t you care for these poor souls? Won’t you fill their empty bowls? Can’t you drag them from these holes? Won’t you hold their empty hands? Give them more than hopeless plans, Give them all the heart commands.

The dawn has come And with it comes a brand new start The winds of change..erase the sins of yesterday The sun it shines..upon a world in so much pain The daily news...remind us how we've lost our way Is this the path that we will take? A path that leads us all a stray. Where is this world we dreamt of? What will it take to cure us? How long could this go on? When is it all too much? Who has the strength to lead us? Out in the streets..The people scream for change to come They've had enough...They march with banners held up high Take my hand..I'll lead you to the promised land Where crime is gone..and children play from dusk to dawn Where is this world we dreamt of? What will it take to cure us? How long could this go on? When is it all too much? Who has the strength to lead us? These broken hearts Will never heal until we fight back Against the tide Of evil wills and power mad men No where to hide You can't escape this justice coming You better run.. You can't escape this justice coming Where is this world we dreamt of? What will it take to cure us? How long could this go on? When is it all too much? Who has the strength to lead us? The dawn has come And with it comes a brand new start The winds of change..erase the sins of yesterday The sun it shines..upon a world in so much pain The daily news...remind us how we've lost our

about

This Ep contains songs that were left off of the previous studio album, Chiaroscuro. Like all our previous Ep's, they were not left off because of quality of songwriting, but because of a firm belief that albums should be no longer then 40 to 42 minutes long.
This way these songs get the proper listening attention they deserve... in our opinion.
We hope you enjoy this Ep....and thank you for your support.
