    It's about 9/11. The tragedy. The heroes. The song is pretty Epic in proportion to my other stuff and fuses a number of styles of rock but also exploits some chorale singing.

    Story Behind the Song
    It's a song for America. That's what the Boundary Mosaic is. Like looking at an Atlas map or a globe. You see all the states dome up in many different colors. Almost like a tapestry. Sometimes, given all the strife we suffer each other, the in-fighting, the scandals we endore - that stitching gets pretty stretched and worn. But attack us? We tighten up as a people. We are one. That's what it's about.

    Lyrics
    Judgment Day

    I saw the legions, I saw the swarming Huns
    Who swear allegiance - to crazy gods on tribal drums
    It is a mockery, where deities of madness reign
    Creating martyrs out of evil hearts and those insane

    I’m just a Wall Street number cruncher - got my MBA
    They call this politics - but it looks to me like judgment day
    I saw the buildings come crashing down
    I swear that on that day that I found God on Holy Ground
    A feeling took control, my country found it’s soul…
    This is the Boundary Mosaic
    Welcome to the Boundary Mosaic

    I held a camera, caught history on video
    I watched our innocence on CNN take a lethal blow
    I heard the battle cry - it cried to one and all
    It said come raise a flag and we wept to watch our heroes fall

    I’m just an F-Train power broker who’s on red alert
    I’ve got my pilot, got my pager and I’ve got blood on my shirt
    I saw the towers come tumbling down
    Beneath the ash and smoke I fled the siren sound
    When something took control – our nation found its soul…
    This is the Boundary Mosaic
    We become a Boundary Mosaic
    They worship loaded guns
    While we bury our fallen ones

    Afghan Kyrie

    Kyrie eleison Christe eleison
    Kyrie eleison
    Kyrie eleison Kyrie eleison Kyrie…
    Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis pacem Dona nobis, dona nobis
    Kyrie (nazzaza) Kyrie (nazzaza) Kyrie (nazzaza) Kyrie….

    I saw the heart of man come crushing down
    Then I saw saints and sinners plant their seeds in hallowed ground
    So we’ve been told – God save their souls…
    This is the Boundary Mosaic
    Welcome to the Boundary Mosaic

    Do you know the place?
    Are you going down that way?
    They say it looks like Judgment Day.
