lyrics

Serpents crawling in the streets
Beware their wrath when sirens screech
Decked out in protective gear
"Protect and serve" through force and fear
Prey on poor communities
With qualified immunities
To keep them out of justice's sights
When their actions come to light

Broken systems held in place
Public image falls in faith
Violent methods stir unease
Silence, the desert they call peace

Our time has come
We stand as one

Backward talks are proselytized
When the fox spreads toxic lies
And sell us out as crooks and thugs
Committing crimes and high on drugs
They paint themselves as colorblind
But pin the blame on colored guys
Media lies now propagate
As "entertainment" propped for hate

Traitors for views they lie
Gators and snakes in suit and tie
Twisted words distort the truth
Listen, they are deceiving you

Our time has come
We stand as one

It's time to strike (strike)
Enter the darkest hour
They play us for fools like pawns in a game

Stand up and fight (fight)
Behold the blackened power
No longer ruled under locks and their chains

One by one we lose our rights
As politicians bet with lives
The side that claims to make us great
Are servants to the fascist state
Our rights they claim they would defend
But burn the cross at both the ends
The other side would call their bluff
But never seem to do enough

Gaslight, obstruction
Projection: their roadmap to win
For every accusation
Is their own confession of sin

Our time has come
We stand as one

It's time to strike (strike)
Enter the darkest hour
They play us for fools like pawns in a game

Stand up and fight (fight)
Behold the blackened power
No longer ruled under locks and their chains

about

Honor Bound Reno, Nevada

In the frostbitten heart of Reno, Nevada, an oath was sworn in blood to continue and expand the musical legacy of those who came before. From this sacrament, a band had formed and staked their claim as the last power metal band in Northern Nevada. They fly the flag of heavy metal-dom and proselytize its virtues to those who seek to find a new meaning. And to their oath, they are honor bound. ... more
