We built these houses
On the bones of forgotten tribes
Sucked right in
By the pull of your rotten lies
Lost inside a labyrinth
Of your mind
I try to walk towards the light
I try
Have you seen the movie Poltergeist? The words follow the movie. I wanted to create something simple that told a story, and use that story to relate to the common human state of being.
We are built up from an early age on stories of our ancestors. We are then broken like horses, and rode into oblivion. Getting trampled by the ideas of cowboys, roped into living 9-5, and dying to get out.
I just want to live. I want to live simply. I simply want to live. Every time I sing this song, I feel a connection to everyone in the room. I think deep down, we all just want to live simply. There is a basic driving force in our heads. A little kid telling us "walk towards the light", and the big bad world keeps sucking us back in.

"Patterns" - Track 10 off The Tank by The War I Survived
To download this free track (320 kbps MP3), right click & choose (save as): http://bit.ly/10_Patterns
I see your face and I see patterns
I hope your right and it won't matter
Our lives are defined by disaster
There is no happily ever after
We fight and we die
We laugh and we cry
We have and we deny
We love and we survive
There are no tickets to paradise
You take your chances here, roll the dye
It makes no difference to run and hide
We see right through your disguise
We fight and we die
We laugh and we cry
We have and we deny
We love and we survive
The closer we get to the end, we get more and more stuck in our ways. Some believe that it doesn't matter, that our lives are just an accident of the cosmos. I believe everything happens for a reason and this life is a test. Not everything is meant to be sunshine and happy.
We reap what we sow. I believe this to be one of the simplest universal truths. The pattern that balances the equation of life. And there is no cheating the system.
There is no free ride in this world, you have to endure this race all the way untill the end. Whatever truths you store in your heart, will be revealed in the end. So, store up plenty of love, and hope that it spills out into the world, evening out the odds, and making this race more bearable.
We have a saying as a band. We like to say "love you, love the band!” We do this because we've all been through many bands over the years, and been part of the patterns of destruction, but we endured and it leads us to this. Harmony and elation come out of each beat and chord when we play, every note pumped through our hearts to our fingers, to your eardrums. We love what we do, and that helps us survive.

"Take Down the Tyrant" - Track 9 off The Tank by The War I Survived
To download this free track (320 kbps MP3), right click & choose (save as): http://bit.ly/09_Take_Down_the_Tyrant
Take down the tyrant
Don't let him live
When things get violent
We won't forgive
Within these walls we shiver
Behind doors of confusion
When these walls all shatter
We lie down and cower
Take down the tyrant
Don't let him win
When things get violent
We can't forget
Within these walls we shiver
Behind doors of confusion
When these walls all shatter
We lie down and cower
We watch terror rise
We are terrified
We all turn and hide
We must turn and fight
When the war ends
We will be friends again
War and unrest, turmoil and strife. There is a wind sweeping the world right now, and it carries the faint call of change. As more of us recognize the call, the greater demand becomes to end all tyranny. As they strike out to supress rebellions, the more people gather to the cause.
For years we've hidden in our domesticated huts, protected from the big bad world spoon fed to us through our television sets. We scoff at anyone going against the grain, as we were trained to do at a very young age. We can't let this continue, we can't forget that history is filled with tyrannical leaders, who were toppled by the people they opressed.
As the stench of fear swells, we turn away from the fight. We watch the TV as if it's a different world happening outside of our plane of existence. Tyranny is all around, and we lay idle behind closed doors, untill those walls are broken down. What started as a faint wind is now a full force of nature to be reckoned with.
It's all happening, the cycle continues. Like any storm, destruction will ensue, but like after any big storm, we will rebuild. We will survive, and help each other for one reason... Love.

"The Tank" - Track 8 off The Tank by The War I Survived
To download this free track (320 kbps MP3), right click & choose (save as): http://bit.ly/08_The_Tank
High above the clouds in the sky
There is still sun
There is still light
Heal me up
Before we wipe
Heal me with
Your sun, your light
This place brings back memories
Before I saw the light
The night I fell to my enemies
Now I return to fight
As the world gets darker and darker, the older you get, it's easy to become bitter and angry. Your view of the world becomes more and more clouded. It's easy to forget that there is still good things in this world, and there is still hope for all the lost souls.
I feel like I'm running on empty sometimes, and I need refilled in order to make it any further. Sometimes we need a big dose of something to refuel our power cells. Sometimes we need light, hope, and inspiration, whatever you want to call it. We need something.
And we need it now.
I'm drawn back to a time when things seemed better. Life was simple. When you're young, you have it all figured out, or so you would believe. And now that I'm older, I'm trying to pinpoint why, and when, and where my story switched from day to night. Before I died, felled by my enemies hand, my own inner torment.
Then I remember there was no instant, no moment of defeat, where my soul was captured. This battle is still going on, and I need to wake up. And like that, I'm back in it. Ready to smile again, ready to take on heaps of trouble, with a light heart and joyful soul.
I can extend myself beyond my means, taking damage the whole way, because something is healing me up. My faith reminds me that on the darkest days of my life, though I can't see it, the sun is still shining. Remembering this, my spirit is renewed, and I am ready for more. I am smiling, ready for another round.
One more thing on a personal note. I hope you all are getting why I'm doing this. In my studio, there is an old painted two by four. It's missing chunks, bitten off by time and decay, and roughly painted army green. Four words are written across it in black letters, "Dispel negativity through creativity.", and these are a reminder of why I write music. It's how I keep my soul clean.

"To Arms" - Track 7 off The Tank by The War I Survived
To download this free track (320 kbps MP3), right click & choose (save as): http://bit.ly/07_To_Arms
Grab your own and hold them tight
You're in the middle, you have to fight
But do you know what side you're on?
Do you know who you are?
This world was built on lies
We're all victims of our own device
If you could just open your eyes
And see who you are
You've gone to far
Lead us astray
You can't hold us down
To arms
There is a war outside
You're in the middle, you have to decide
Is this a hill to die upon?
Do you know who you are?
This world was built on lies
You're all alone and it's no surprise
When it all comes tumbling down
You see who you are
You've gone to far
Lead us astray
You can't hold us down
To arms
This is a battle cry. It's time to rally the troops. Get your friends and loved ones and hold onto them as long and hard as you can. It's us against the world. If we fail, it is because we chose wrong. We choose not to trust, and we start to blame people for everything that's wrong with us, but it's up to us to decide our fate.
The world around us becomes more and more chaotic, but we can rise above. We can pick our battles wisely, and not throw away our lives over nothing. When the bombs start falling though, we are tested, and our true nature is revealed. What are you made of? Are you prepared for the worst? I hope so.
The world can take you down to rock bottom, but you can climb out. We can then pick ourselves up, and fight back against those that put us there. We can rally. We can fight. We can live. And we can lay down our lives so that others may have the freedom to do the same. You choose. To arms.

To download this free track (320 kbps MP3), right click & choose (save as): http://bit.ly/06_Jade
You take from the poor man
You take from him everything
Give it all to the rich man
Who doesn't need anything
We follow in their footsteps
Our children's children
Making the same mistakes
Iniquities of our forefathers
Transgressions staining our bloody hands
We serve up bitter fruit
We're jaded Americans
There's always more to loot
For jaded America
There's always more to take
We never make mistakes
We can't see what's at stake
More violence will follow
Politicians thriving on blood and oil
We sing for the sorrow
Left behind, buried in stolen soil
We manifest destiny
Shape the minds of the people we destroy
Repetition of history
But we still can't see the coming storm
We serve up bitter fruit
We're jaded Americans
There's always more to loot
For jaded America
There's always more to take
We never make mistakes
We can't see what's at stake
I'm dumbfounded by people sometimes, and what they do to get ahead in this world. I find it amusing, and troubling all at the same time that once you make it big, you start getting everything handed to you, and the people who really need a little help are swept aside. I feel like each generation gets a little worse than the last. We spoil our children, the cycle continues. The dollar inflates and the Federal Reserve keeps pouring more money in, with nothing of substance to back it up. We give our children everything they want, and they lose all sense of value.
We are spinning out of control. Yet somehow, our leaders and big businesses remain oblivious. There's too much at stake, something needs to change.
As our backwards American values spread across the globe, our empire gets thinner and thinner. Like Rome before us, the fall awaits. And afterwards will be a tough winter. You reap what you sow, live by the sword, die by the sword. Your cutthroat elitist standards will be used to measure your own worth someday, and you will not be able to face the results. Prepare your heart, for the American dream has died, and you will be waking up in a cold and bitter world soon.

"Low" - Track 5 off The Tank by The War I Survived
To download this free track (320 kbps MP3), right click & choose (save as): http://bit.ly/05_Low
You planted seeds of doubt
Then watched them grow
And then when trouble sprouts you act
Like you don't know
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
I've got a pretty smile
And my eyes glow
But sometimes I cannot deny
It's all for show
I've got it figured out
But I don't know
And when it all comes crashing down
I guess I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
The devil's advocate, a saying that I've come to loathe. People sway you with negativity, and lead you astray, down a spiral towards death. And once you're there, it's like they never meant to send you tumbling down, into an abyss of self pity brought on by constant negative reinforcement.
The saddest part is, when you truly sink the lowest, those around you don't even know. People go on with their lives like nothing is wrong, when inside they are screaming. Whenever it seems like you've gained an inch, then you get knocked back ten yards.
Depression is a battle raging on all around us. When you least expect it, the enemy strikes, and you're caught off guard, taken captive by fear. You can prepare all you want, but you're always vulnerable, and nothing can stop you from sinking.
This is the daily struggle some of us go through, and we just survive. It's all we can do, when we are taken all the way to the bottom.
But that's just it, isn't it? We survive. Somehow we climb our way up from the bottom. And we continue on. There's always hope, but there's always another devil's advocate. Don't let them take you down.

You planted seeds of doubt
Then watched them grow
And then when trouble sprouts you act
Like you don't know
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
I've got a pretty smile
And my eyes glow
But sometimes I cannot deny
It's all for show
I've got it figured out
But I don't know
And when it all comes crashing down
I guess I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
Low, way low, way low down
Is where I go
The devil's advocate, a saying that I've come to loathe. People sway you with negativity, and lead you astray, down a spiral towards death. And once you're there, it's like they never meant to send you tumbling down, into an abyss of self pity brought on by constant negative reinforcement.
The saddest part is, when you truly sink the lowest, those around you don't even know. People go on with their lives like nothing is wrong, when inside they are screaming. Whenever it seems like you've gained an inch, then you get knocked back ten yards.
Depression is a battle raging on all around us. When you least expect it, the enemy strikes, and you're caught off guard, taken captive by fear. You can prepare all you want, but you're always vulnerable, and nothing can stop you from sinking.
This is the daily struggle some of us go through, and we just survive. It's all we can do, when we are taken all the way to the bottom.
But that's just it, isn't it? We survive. Somehow we climb our way up from the bottom. And we continue on. There's always hope, but there's always another devil's advocate. Don't let them take you down.
