The new album’s first single of 2025, “House Of Light,” is a track that “encapsulates the nature of what it is that we do perfectly while offering a different perspective on the sound with the new lineup,” explains founding member/guitarist Brody Uttley, who also plays piano and does the programming in the band. “Everything that our fans have come to love about our sound is demonstrated in this song with the new addition of Andy singing and Biggs on main vocals. It has the riffs, it has the big chorus, it has the prog, it has the solos, it has the sax. Just a real classic example of what we do as a band in 2025.”

LYRICS:
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Set me free
Tell me no lie

Band of brothers, desperate wind
Past repeats old vicious sin
Soldiers in war we didn’t begin
Shadows loom on the places they’ve been
But I guess that’s just how it goes
Life lost to times calloused flow
Many suffer, and never will know
The dark retreats from the smallest light we show

Though I’ve hidden in the dark for life
I want to dwell in a house of light

Light
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Did I know wrong from right?
There’s no answer in this life
To the lie that separates me
From the light that still surrounds us everywhere

Time slowly circles back
Like magnets: fate attract
Caught in cycles of seeming endless black
But I guess that’s just how it goes
The son will live what the father knows
Do we break out from the endeavor
Or find ourselves here forever?

What does it cost
To remember the pain
the pain you can’t let go
Resonate
Without shame

(solo: Uttley)
(solo: Thomas)

Speak to me
Give me a sign

Light
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Tell me if I’m wrong or right
There’s no answer in this life
To the lie that separates me
From the light that still surrounds us everywhere
Light
Set me free
Tell me no lie
Will I find the house of light
There’s no answer in this life
To the lie that separates me
From the light that still surrounds us everywhere
I want to dwell in a house of light

Speak to me
Give me a sign
