Written in Israel by Dan Reed (formerly of Dan Reed Network), Brave New World is not only a poet's ode to how violence never leads to Peace, but also a plea to humankind to listen for the truth behind the rage and reach out to our brothers in this Brave New World that we're all living in.

lyrics
BRAVE NEW WORLD
I bring you peace from the barrel of my gun...
I may be damned but I've been saved before
Unlock the room where we hide all the truth away...
We all have the key but we can't find the door
A wise man once said, "An eye for an eye makes the world go blind"
But I'm blinded by my rage so I take my aim one more time...
But in the end, you and I are...
One step from heaven with one foot in hell...
where will we run to? It's hard to tell
In this brave new world we live in tonight...
We learn to love, but we love to fight
It's a brave new world we've been given tonight...
So hold on brother, hold on tight
Are we just a warm breath on the broken mirror
where we draw pretty pictures then we all disappear
The lonely river slowly reaches for the sea
So can love reach you and me
A wise man once said that the violent heart cannot be tamed
But where is the wisdom when the man in the mirror
can't take the blame...
but in the end...
One step from heaven with one foot in hell...
where will we run to? It's hard to tell
In this brave new world we live in tonight...
We learn to love, but we love to fight
It's a brave new world we've been given tonight...
So hold on sister, hold on tight
Hold on to the fading light
But in the end you and I are one step from
heaven with one foot in hell...
where will we run to? It's hard to tell
In this brave new world we live in tonight...
We learn to love, but we love to fight
It's a brave new world we've been given tonight
so hold on brother, hold on tight
Hold on sister, because we almost found the light
Yeah we almost found the light
