Der Solokünstler und Multiinstrumentalist Stephen Kern hat das Thrash Metal Projekt OF ICE initiiert und dafür die beiden ehemaligen Iced Earth Mitglieder Sänger Gene Adam (Iced Earth 1985-1991) und Freddie Vidales (Iced Earth 2008 – 2012) am Bass rekrutiert. Das erste Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit, die Single `Wake Up´, gibt es im Videoclip. Das Cover Artwork, in dem Gene und Freddie versuchen, einen Internetjunkie vor Gehirnwäsche und Kontrolle durch die neuen Medien zu warnen, stammt von Jeremiah S. Morgan.

Lyrics:
Our lives are bent on self-destruction
Never slowing down to see the signs
So caught up in all of our technology
We failed to read between the lines
So busy with the circus, we can’t see the clowns
Brainwash our children, burn down our towns
Create a sickness, offer up the cure
Too weak to fight now, a fate we can’t endure
Wake up! Open up your eyes
Wake up! We’ve been blinded by the lies
Wake up! We’re digging our own grave
Wake up! Before there’s nothing left to save
Divide the nation, divide the herd
A call to unify, don’t believe their lies
Lock down the population, don’t you dare defy
The slow boil of complacency, time to rise with me
Wake up! Open up your eyes
Wake up! We’ve been blinded by the lies
Wake up! We’re digging our own grave
Wake up! Before there’s nothing left to save
Wake up! Open up your eyes
Wake up! We’ve been blinded by the lies
Wake up! We’re digging our own grave
Wake up! Before there’s nothing left to save
Vaccination, manipulation
Political indoctrination
It’s time to take a stand
And wake up. Wake Up
