This is a remix of my first vocal offering which I originally released over 10 years ago. Some of the original (free) VST's have faded from existence so I worked with a few of my current favourites and one new one. By now I had switched to a Strat guitar and this is undoubtedly one of my better, more fluid leads. At the time, I was also experimenting with keyboards and was really just getting comfortable using two hands (rather than 2 fingers). Also at this time, I was getting comfortable using Cuckos Reaper. As for lyrics, they just came from the mood of the tune. Everything is drawn from life experiences, so a "cut and paste" of some old, but not forgotten, memories. I'm not sure why I chose the 3rd person to express these images. 

Broken Dreams
---------------------

[INTRO/SOLO]

You wake up from a nightmare ...
Or was that real?
Somehow you can't get out of bed
Fingers too numb to feel.

Sun coming through the window
But there's no heat.
Now, the silence is deafening
Not a sound from the street.

[SOLO]

Sweet smells from the pillow
As you turn in bed.
Memories of warm embraces
Filter through your head.

No matter now, the bed is cold.
The covers are all grey.
The memories still linger
Of a love that did not stay.

[OUTRO/SOLO]

The War's In My Window

Again, like in a dream,
That world before my eyes.
I see my home so dear,
My childhood, warmth, and smiles.
I stepped outside one spring,
With my doors opened wide,
A place for all to come,
But sadly, it's all gone.

Where are you now, my gentle world?
Where’s the warmth, where flowers swirled?
You’ve changed so much, you've become so different,
And I can’t recognize you.
I only see tears in your eyes, that's all.

And somewhere in the sky,
The birds are screaming sadly.
They can see everything,
Because God gave them wings.
The rays of our hearts
Burn out on the roadside,
The roadside of the life
That fate has given us.

Where are you,
This good world of mine?
Where are you? Where is your sunshine?
You've become completely different, you've changed for the worse.
I can only see tears in your eyes.

Chorus
The war's in my window,
My heart is on fire.
And where are you, my sweet love?
I don't want to die!
And in ferocious fighting,
Our hope — love of God.
With strength in Him abiding,
We face the darkest odds.

Oh, my long-suffering land,
You have a very hard fate.
Like many years before,
You're dear to each of us.
So tell me, my good friend,
Do they really live in a small state?
They wanted more and more,
I know that's never enough.
Don't ask me what it was like back then,
You just need to know that evil reigns.
Look around you — where once birds sang, trees and flowers bloomed,
Now there're only craters, scorched earth.

Chorus
The war's in my window,
And there's war in my heart.
And I'm praying right now,
God, send peace to restart.
And in fierce, deadly battles,
We rely on love of God.
Let Him burn in his castle,
The new usurper of the world.

The war came with darkness,
This world has gone mad.
They have no holiness,
Where are God's commandments?
And when hatred is the practice,
We are still holding on.
But where is the justice
In this godless war?

The war's in my window...
