Progressive rock has had the biggest musical influence on my song writing. If you are unfamiliar with progressive rock as a style, I'm sure you've heard a few mainstream prog rock bands such as Rush, Yes, Dream Theater, and Kansas. Although it's not always obvious, my lyrics and stories I tell in my songs are told from a Christian worldview. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics

As I wander deep 
into these holy words
and wonder at its meanings

I can't seem to reconcile
these ancient works 
with churches teachings 

Here I stand
Stand before you now
How can I do no other?

I can tell you something
I just don't understand 
Why must we buy indulgences
to find our way to heaven?

You ask me to recant the words I have wrote
But I am captive to the word of God above the word of man
If you can show me in the scripture the error of my work
I'll be the first to cast these books into the fire

Here I stand
Stand before you now
How can I do no other?
