about

This song is about being thrown in solitary confinement for exposing war crimes.

lyrics

First Bradley Manning then Edward Snowden
The NSA and WikiLeaks remain juxtaposed when
Whistleblowers leaked some military secrets
Revealing that our dirty laundry don't smell of roses
Murdering civilians for no fucking reason
Spying on the public and calling it freedom?

Taking a stand for "United we stand"
Creates the divide in "Divided we fall"
One race one land as I understand with
Freedom for All and justice for ALL

Left to fight all alone
They called me a spy!
far away from my home
I'm ready to die!
Tried to break my mind and soul
Their charges denied!
Facing life without parole (for)
Exposing their lies!

Left to fight all alone
They called me a spy
Far away from my home
I'm ready to die!

Taking a stand for "United we stand"
Creates the divide in "Divided we fall"
One race one land as I understand with
Freedom for All and justice for ALL

Open your eyes
See all the lies
Now we must rise
And soon everybody will die!

Wide awake I can see it all
I'm to blame we're all in control
Confiscated my life
For exposing our war crimes

Your privacy breached
It's far too late
Your rights are denied
It's time to fight
It's time

Not for the money
Not like it pleases me
to pull the plug on ignorance
they blamed me of treason
Private of the first class
statement that will finally last
we're not going to keep this wool over our eyes
Eleven months in solitary lead me to visions
I'm choking on the system and wallowing in shit!

Weld Seattle, Washington

Weld began one evening at the Canterbury on Capitol Hill in Seattle. When a few metal heads overheard some other metal heads talking about playing metal. Naturally, as metal heads do, they set up a time and date to jam and has since resulted in Weld's performing at clubs all over Seattle including, The Funhouse, The Comet, The Mix, The Highline, The Two Bit Saloon, and the El Corazon. ... more
