Been out of it for a while now.  Thought I'd post a little something for my reintroduction to these parts. Lots of new faces I see. Hope you like it. And as always, any feedback is most welcome ;)

edit... slight modification to the mix. Raised the vox ever so slightly and lowered one of the guitar track so that it was not so prevalent in the mix. I thought the new one is better but my wife swore there was no difference and that I was just being anal. :/ heh

LAND OF THE BLIND

Apathy breeds ignorance
They stand for nothing
A 45 right to the chest
Violent sounds are ringing
Truth is intangible
The weak they stand laughing
Certain that they all know
Who is left hanging

They say, only the strong survive
But only the sheep are left alive
No one is willing to take the blame
Empty minds they feel no shame

Land of the Blind
Home of the free
Leave them behind
They cannot see

Land of the Blind
They think they're free
They are confined
They will not
They'll not take me

Rather throw it out
Than to give it away
Holding onto things
That is their way
Ignore everything
If there is nothing to gain
Sold their lonely lives
to those with fame

Hear the voices they are shouting
From the rooftops they are calling
But it is their lives that are falling
Their own praises they are singing

Land of the Blind
Home of the free
Leave them behind
They cannot see

Land of the Blind
They think they're free
They are confined
They will not
They'll not take me

Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up

[solo]

Land of the Blind
Home of the free
Leave them behind
They cannot see

Land of the Blind
They think they're free
They are confined
They will not
They'll not take me

Thanks for all the great comments! ;)

Although I'd been busy these last few months, I have been writing when I can. This song was written at work during lunch on a pad of paper while listening to the news. It just sat in my folder until I remembered a riff from a while back and was able to actually marry the two without much problems. Got other stuff in that folder too ;)
