ERIC STECKEL | Hold Your Fire | Official Music Video (2024)

ERIC STECKEL | Hold Your Fire | Official Music Video (2024)
“Hold Your Fire” is a song that was first conceived during the infamous summer of 2020, from the perspective of a young man living in a big city in America. The heaviness and darkness of the riff and hook paved the way for more serious subject matter than previous Steckel originals. During the latest sessions at Steakhouse Studios, the time felt right for Eric and his power trio to track this one live (and loud) to tape, and the result proved to be the heaviest Steckel original to date.
"HOLD YOUR FIRE" - Words & Music by Eric Steckel 2024
47 hours, back in '73
Men shot down, ammunition spree
Dead on the sidewalk, it's just the law of the land
His ultimatum, was my command
Hold your fire
Let me breathe
All I desire
Is to be free
Take my money
You know it's my disease
Hold your fire, please...
Phone lines down, pinned down inside
The rank & file, are my alibi
Conciliation, 'aint a liberation
Blind my eyes, to this devastation
Hold your fire
Let me breathe
All I desire
Is to be free
Take my money
You know it's my disease
Hold your fire, please...
