Wounded (1996) helped them attract new fans. Time Lost (1997) was released for a tour with Dream Theater. It had four new tracks and previously unreleased material. Break (1998) was promoted live on stage with Spock's Beard and later with Marillion. These albums marked a departure from their first album.
Juggling 9 or Dropping 10 was released in 2000. Two band members left after the album was finished. Blink of an Eye and Tug of War reinforced the band's status as a serious band. These albums opened the band's road for touring in Germany together with Spock's Beard and the California Guitar Trio. Their live album, Live at Last was released as a double CD and a double DVD set, with over 20 songs some dating back to 1993.
The band, after a long break, recorded a new album titled The Great Divide which was released in 2014.

Enchant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was just beginning...
Battered senseless, this is not what you deserve
Stripped and left defenseless, this is not what you deserve
Stabbed and left to die,all alone forsaken
Life palns gone awry, precious life blood taken
And your dignity is gone
You thought you had found something that was stable
And the promise made nothing but a fable
Blindsided, this is not what you deserve
Purposely misguided, this is not what you deserve
No foresight for this, words that kept you blind
Betrayed with a kiss, life plans undermined
And you'll never love again
You thought you had found something that was stable
Hearts can change just like the wind
So it's best to keep them safe beneath the table
Actions telling lies
Ring, an empty token
Formal-wear disguise
Vows recklessly broken
[Music: P.Craddick]
[Lyrics: T.Leonard]
