This is an early look into the flavour of our first chapter, but lacking one thing before its early release: Quinn Conway. 

               "War, he can see it coming,
                  Pandora's box opening,
            With messages across the sea.
                 Italian Marconi Company,
                Oh, the world was thinking.

                                Behold,
                          A seed befell,
    For greed and power wrought from what 
                          one could tell.
   A mind control manifests from the scare of 
                           Orsen Welles.
                 Oh, this world is sinking!

                               Industry!
             The surgery begins in 1857:
                        The assimilation.
                             Indian Act,
                         Treaty in hand,
                        Sleight of hand!
                    Liquid sands contain,
              What numbs every incision.

                            A pill a day,
                         A spirit earned.
            Whether past or present day,
                     It's a piece of land,
                      A culture burned.
               Oh, this world is winking.

                          Enter the rest.

          The Broadcasting has a foothold,
        Lies are on acceleration evermore.
  There's a psychopath with a microphone,
       All aboard the train but you won't be
                           coming home.

   Six million six point stars. (Maybe more?)
    Blazed to ash. (Blotted out by the furor.)
                   The culture they hate,
                         They annihilate.

 (break: D–Day Prayer & The Eleventh Hour)

                     Lightning on the dirt,
                     And blood in the sky.

               And all their souls are gone,
                     Lost without a trace!

And this world is shrinking! (Enter their test.)

      The tin soldier's done what he's told.
With nothing left to do at the end of the war.
   Each time you close your eyes you relive,
          Things done so your friend could've 
                                    lived.
                           Your mistakes,
                        You can't forgive!

                   What blessing beheld:
                    A cure from the Well.
        There is a saying I remember well.
       Drops of His blood lift dirt to the sky,
     In Him who paid, the reconciled abide.
 He waits for the day to free those who hide.
          When the war-torn Hero marries 
                       the wartorn Bride.

  When they returned from their quarrels and 
                       terror-filled days,
  They perceive themselves murders stealing 
                              the praise,
   They condemn themselves for friends who 
                        died in their place,
  If only you could tell of one whom their past 
                         could be erased?

You see, wars never really end,
They just go inside your heart.
The brokeness and infection,
Of emotions, and a soul's score.

Wounds so bad they overflow,
From defeated hands, to you they're thrown. 
Until something brighter can cut through,
Till the Surgeon's hand has the shrapnel removed.

This Man said the Truth shall set you free,
By His stripes we are healed if we simply believe.

He asks, 'Do you want to be healed?'.

And the world stood blinking."

This recording follows from Brett & Hudson's studio work done with the help of Geoff Dresser, who offered us to use his studio to make this. It follows a lot of character growth, and this recording is chronologically, a journey to teamwork within the band.
