Story Behind The Song
It was written at the end of the Irak war and has stayed with me since then and when I decided to do an album, it seemed fitting to be included.
Song Description
It's about what happens after the end of a war and the reasoning behind the start of the madness and the recovery of the survivors. Who has the strength to rebuild a broken country and give it back the hope and dignity without control or bias.

Lyrics
ALL OR NOTHING
Now that the war is over
And all the guns laid down
It's time to rebuild a future
Where all the good men stand
And change the face of freedom
Let her smile on a starless night
Oh lord if you're really out there can't you hear us now
Now that there's peace a coming
Hope it won't fade away
Cause millions of soul survivor
Are waiting at heaven's gate
To feel the winds of hatred
Die in an empty sky
Oh lord if you're really out there can't you hear us now
It's all or nothing
Now or never
All or nothing
Alone or together
All or nothing
Now and forever forever
Now that the race is over
It's time to look back on life
Was it the gift of reason
Or the pursuit of lies
That made the revolution
Go spinning beyond the stars
Oh lord if you're really out there can't you hear us now
Now that the door is open
Who's gonna step inside
And take all there is on offer
but push all the bad aside
And leave it as they found it
A little deeper into despair
Oh lord if you're really out there can't you hear us now
