From 2003 - 2005, more line-up changes were to occur, including the departure of Stephen and Martin K. This would make A.W.A.S a four piece band, and bring aboard Eddy on the 4 string. This was also to be the final line-up of the band. They also had 2 of their songs released on the German "Deathophobia" sampler. The band would get their break in 2006, when they independently released their debut full-length album "Hope".
In September 2006, Open Grave Records took interest in the band, and signed them to give "Hope" a proper world wide release which was released in early 2007.
A.W.A.S. stands for "Acoustic War Against Satan".

A.W.A.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here we are, here we come.
Acoustic war against Satan
Saved by the almighty only one,
who gave for you his beloved son.
One day we all will die,
Do not trust Satan's lies.
I will get to paradise.
Come and see, fight with me.
Judgement day hasn't jet come.
Fight with me against Satan.
Judgement day will come soon.
Acoustic war against Satan.
You are warriors so come on.
Acoustic war against Satan
Stand up fight as one.
We are strong through the son
Saved by grace of the almighty one.
Acoustic war against Satan.
Eph. 6,12 / 2.Kor. 3-5
The lyrics to A.W.A.S.'s song "A.W.A.S." describe a battle against Satan, with the belief that the power of God will ultimately triumph. The lyrics encourage listeners to stand up and fight against Satan, believing that the day of judgment is coming soon. However, the battle against Satan is not waged with physical weapons, but rather through an "acoustic war" where the power of music and faith in God is used to defeat evil.
The lyrics make reference to “Zion”, the promised land in the Bible, and urge listeners not to trust Satan's lies. The song encourages people to come together as warriors and join the “acoustic war” against Satan. The reference to Ephesians 6:12 ("For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places") and 2 Corinthians 3-5 (about relying on God's power rather than human strength) suggest that the battle against Satan is not just a physical one, but also a spiritual one where faith and the love of God are used as weapons.
