The first single from THE SOUNDS OF HOPE (The World Rocks For Japan). The EP from Japan's HeavensDust will be released worldwide on March 11th, 2014, the 3-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

The need is now greater than ever in Fukushima, where the food and water supply is horribly contaminated and people are getting sick and dying from radiation exposure every day. 100% of proceeds from sales of this single, video and EP will be donated to the Fukushima Children's Fund to help provide a clean water and food supply and/or safe relocation for these children and their families.

All people involved with the creation of the music, video and artwork have graciously donated their time and resources to this project.

MORE THAN THIS
It's a light we can barely see
It's an open door
When we have no choice
It's embracing your enemy
It's a stranger
It's a Hero's war
It's a cry for recovery
Feel mistreated
For no reason
Taking the life out of everything
It's a secret undefeated

But I cannot break
I'll fight for you!

It's the world we know inside
Building castles with our minds
Breathing life again
We are more than this
Turning fear into our fight
Not letting go keeps us alive
We breathe life again
We are more than this

It's avoiding uncertainty
It's anger. It's a grudge released
It's believing in anything
It's danger. It's the lives we reach
For the sake of humanity
Can't point the finger
At your leaders
It's defining reality
Who we gotta be
Who ya gonna be?

But I cannot break
I'll fight for you!

It's the world we know inside
Building castles with our minds
Breathing life again
We are more than this
Turning fear into our fight
Not letting go keeps us alive
We breathe life again
We are more than this

(Shin):
Save this life
Save this heart
Lead us the way
Cause I can't feel a thing
Hear this voice
Hear this soul
We need your touch
Or we'll all fall apart

Though I'm weak
I'm awake
My soul abused
But I cannot break
I'll fight for you

It's the world we know inside
Building castles with our minds
Breathing life again
We are more than this
Turning fear into our fight
Not letting go keeps us alive
We breathe life again
We are more than this
