On the last day of June, 2011 Lance decided to invite some of his musical friends to co-write songs with him as he ventured into his first solo album. An act of faith only knowing their work, never working with them before creating music. In just two months, those involved had created an epic masterpiece, quite a feat indeed based on the quality of this release.
In under three months, A MOMENT IN CHIROS was mixed and mastered and off to the presses, perhaps the fasted created music in history? This album was meant to be out by 11/11/11 and is destined to stand the test of time.
The album's concept is based on the 11:11 time prompt phenomena happening to over 75 million people around the world, Lance is one of these people, and has dived in deep to find more about what it’s all about. This album is one man's journey as a seeker of truth looking for answers to the world's greatest mysteries.
Lance has chosen "Human Trafficking" (sex slavery), one of the fastest growing criminal activities worldwide as the charitable cause he would like to champion, profits from this album will go to efforts to abolish this slave trade worldwide through an organization called "NOT FOR SALE"!

the mission and the math.
The goals become quite clear,
and now it's time to share this
with all the world,
light each candle's hidden pearl.
Restoration, transformation,
It's time to light up the world
with the strike of a match,
let the tired old systems
of corruption collapse
while we rise again...
Darkness comes in day and night routine
in its attempt to feed the void.
I tune out the glamoring din
and find the light within
this brand new world.
Time stands to be unfurled.
Information, communication,
a new beginning dawns...
It's time to light up the world
with the strike of a match,
let the tired old systems
of corruption collapse
while we rise again...
Now I see the coming Son.
It's time to light up the world
with the strike of a match,
let the tired old systems
of corruption collapse
while we rise again...
It's time to light up the world
with the strike of a match!
An awakening has come, your destiny reborn.
It's time to make a choice,
power your true voice.
The hope that has drawn near,
infinity you hear...
In "Transformation," Lance King reflects on his personal journey towards discovering his purpose in life. He mentions the "mission and the math," suggesting that he has thought about his goals and how to achieve them. He recognizes that restoration and transformation are necessary for growth and that they are two sides of the same coin. He wants to share this lesson with the world and ignite everyone's unique potential ("light each candle's hidden pearl").
The chorus emphasizes the need for action and change. King urges listeners to "light up the world with the strike of a match" and to let go of corruption and tired old systems. He acknowledges the darkness that potentially surrounds us and how it can foster emptiness. However, he tunes out the negative voices around him and focuses on the light within himself, insisting that it will guide him towards a better future. He believes that communication and information can lead to a new beginning, one that everyone can shape collectively.
In the final verse, King reveals that he has found hope and purpose. He has seen the coming son, perhaps referring to a spiritual awakening, and encourages others to find their true voice and make a choice towards their destiny. By hearing infinity, he suggests that there is boundless potential within all of us.
