i remember i was sixteen years old so sold out for you and the words you spoke to me they were my passion though the people were laughing every morning i would wake up to a song in me brush my teeth, wash my face, then i'd get in my car, drive to my high school devote two hours to pray for my own heart and for my generation to love who you are when the rest of my peers turned to juice or drugs i clung hard to you, kept my focus on things of eternity, i chose to live a lifestyle of integrity we were lost in love because you spoke to me and i could never forget how you washed my feet i'd stay up all night just to sing to you but tonight i'm just missing you God awaken the dawn Come and do what it takes to pierce the dark Breathe new life in my heart To persevere with endurance, keep marching on (x2) i can't believe it, it's five years later now driving home from pasadena city college reminiscing on the passion i carried when i imagined the cross used to say i'll follow you God no matter the cost i guess the dark just seeped in I nearly threw away my life at 18 for a girlfriend missing on destiny, all of that i want to turn it around but still you had my back you trusted me when i couldn't trust myself spoke life to me when there was nobody else and you upheld my soul in your sovereignty get me back on my feet God awaken the dawn Come and do what it takes to pierce the dark Breathe new life in my heart To persevere with endurance, keep marching on (x2) though i can barely do it today i lift my eyes up to the mountains and the northern skies on my way to play ball at first avenue creation reaches me reminds me of you and as i start to think, i start to smile cause you start to speak, and you speak so loud you say i wasnt made for mediocrity and how there's more to my song than Christianity destiny is a matter of the heart it's whats goin on inside of me, as i sing this song cuz after this year, God i understand life or death begins with the inner man and your reputation in the end is worthless thats a lesson that i learned from mr. sutliff and pastor ted haggard so when the world staggers and apathetic voices turn from thoughts to real daggers satan see's your bride and he wants to beat her i know he's wiped out so many worship leaders that were your favorite i gotta make it. for them, for you, for good, for real, 'til i'm lost in love this is my stand turned 21 a month ago i'm ready to be a man God awaken the dawn Come and do what it takes to pierce the dark Breathe new life in my heart To persevere with endurance, keep marching on (x4)

about

"Awaken the Dawn" and "Rice, Kimchee and Eggs (RKE)" are two songs we play at nearly every gig, but we haven't properly released either of the songs.

Awaken the Dawn was originally found on Mike's collaborative effort with Jaeson Ma (Namesake: bit.ly/kdChko) that was released back in 2007. We tried to release an Awaken the Dawn 2.0 on Break of Dawn, but after we started recording...we didn't like what we created. Thus, scrapped it and told ourselves we'd re-record it someday.

RKE on the other hand, could be found on the Break of Dawn album if you popped in the cd and searched for it on your computer; however, we feel that this new version is finally in-line with how we want the song to sound. Descry thinks it's because he actually cooked an egg before the song started, but Kevin thinks it's because of his enhanced opera man section. You be the judge.

Both versions were recorded/mastered by Feats in Inches drummer (and Descry's younger brother), Steve Lee (check out Feats in Inches here: featsininches.bandcamp.com).
