Brothers 06:43
A day like any day, there was no sign that would not suggest the same Not a cloud in the sky, nor the slightest hint that there would be rain Thunder struck and ripped us from reality Two fallen brothers taken from their family And now we're lost with nothing but a memory Of what was taken that day, the day you went away When you left that morning, I didn't know that things would go astray There are so many things now that I wish I had the chance to say You're gone, and I don't know what I'll do, I'm still here You're gone, my heart's empty without you, I'm still here

United 20:02
I could feel the wind in my hair, the breeze was a welcome change Such a busy morning, some things always stay the same Then I saw them, under a charcoal sky Hope was stalling and no one would tell me why An urge to help them but not a path to go I wanted to save them, but nobody heard my cries I was frozen, I saw but could not believe my eyes Trapped in a dream from which I could not arise I wanted to help them, my effort was lost in the dust Before I could move, a cloud of ash had overtaken us Can't see -- the devil stands before me Can't hear -- but I can sense the fear Can't breathe -- can't find the strength to leave Can't move -- there's nothing I can do Won't feel -- My body's numb from the pain Won't cry -- although the ashes sting my eyes Won't fear -- they need me to be strong Can't move -- there's nothing I can do Ten years gone since I witnessed that day Not a day passed that the memory did not remain I've seen the pain that they caused Irrational hate that gave the whole nation pause The fear that we all had that day Soon was repl aced with unrequited rage For those who hurt the ones we love When my only comfort came from God above Although I was just a child then, that day will live with me forever I couldn't forget it if I tried And now I'm ten years older and the world is still torn asunder By endless war and constant lies Years go on, but it all stays the same There are those who still lie and kill in God's name A promise of change we never received And visions of a hope that we cannot retrieve

Forever 05:24
If I close my eyes and focus I remember what you looked like When you smiled and waved goodbye on that Tuesday morning No matter what I've been through I will remember you forever I remember your eyes, I remember your smile The way you laughed and almost never frowned I will always remember the life we had Even though the sorrow drives me mad These ten years have been a constant struggle to tolerate the change Everyday I wonder why it happened, and why I still remain And though the years are long Somehow I must continue on

about

The idea for United came suddenly on August 17th, 2011. The intro track recreating the USA National Anthem was created that day, and the following three songs were produced from then until September 7th, almost non-stop. I felt that it was something I 'had' to do, and I worked very hard.

This album is dedicated to those who fell on September 11th, 2001 and the families that have struggled since that day. May God be with you all.

This EP was upgraded to a DELUXE EDITION on September 11th, 2012. The new version includes the 3 main songs from the album -- "Brothers", "United", "Forever" -- as instrumental versions.
