The current band features Dave Williams on vocals, Steve Schon and Scott Ables on guitar, Steve Blodgett on Bass, and Colby Cordova on drums.
Press release from 2008:
"For the last three years, Phoenix-based sextet Signs of Betrayal has been churning out bulldozer-heavy melodic rock and making a name for itself along the West Coast. With two records released and a gaggle of shows under their belts with the likes of Static X, Seether and Lacuna Coil, the guys are prepping to return to the studio this summer to put out what will be their heaviest and most realized offering yet.
Capitalizing on the momentum of their last album 'Wide Eyed Coma', Signs Of Betrayal have pushed through the monotony of today's 'radio rock'. The assault on the standardization of today's music has never been more apparent than now with the release of 'Distortia'. An undeniable sound that again claims it's place among hard rock fans of chugging guitars and double bass while the entrancing keyboards and bass push the underbelly of the monster that is vocalist Dave Williams. Be sure to check out crushers 'Catatonic', 'Dark Wings' and 'Seasons Collide'. "

Signs of Betrayal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A safer place to go
Beyond the realm of skies we know
Do you see what I see?
Go blind by what you've been told
A shameless way to go
Excel your message to the world
You tried and tried but failed and still wonder why
Your alive
You tried and tried but failed and still wonder why?
Run savior savior
And pry the noose
I seek the solomntude
Run savior savior
And tie the noose
I seek the solomntude
I see what's left to choose
I see this all in you
Your reach is furthering down
It soon begins to show
When fallacy is treading home
Do you see what I see?
With nothing more left to hold
Watch it all unfold
Question where it all went wrong
Do you see what I see?
You tried and tried but failed and still wonder why
Your alive
You tried and tried but failed and still wonder why?
Run savior savior
And pry the noose
I seek the solomntude
Run savior savior
And tie the noose
I seek the solomntude
I see what's left to choose
I see this all in you
Towering, rendering, powerless you
You must be kidding me so this is you
(I don't I don't I don't need anybody body I don't I don't I don't)
I need I need I need I need I need
Run savior savior
And pry the noose
I seek the solomntude
Run savior savior
And tie the noos
I seek the solomntude
I see what's left to choose
I see this all in you
The lyrics of Signs of Betrayal's song, Savior, convey a sense of disillusionment with the world and the people within it. The opening lines suggest that the singer has found a place beyond the known world, but they question whether others can see what they see. The lyrics encourage people to question what they have been told and to seek their own truth. The repeated refrain of "Run savior savior and pry the noose, I seek the solitude" suggests that the singer is seeking a way to escape from the world, perhaps by ending their own life, but they also suggest that they have some agency in this process. The final line of the song, "I see this all in you," suggests that the singer may be addressing someone else directly, although it is not clear who.
The lyrics of Savior suggest that the singer is struggling with feelings of isolation and hopelessness, but they are also seeking some kind of liberation or redemption. The repeated use of the phrase "Do you see what I see?" suggests that the singer is searching for meaning and connection in a world that seems indifferent to their struggles. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of the dangers of falling for false beliefs and ideologies, but they are unable to escape them entirely. Overall, the lyrics of Savior are both melancholy and hopeful, encouraging listeners to seek their own truth and find a way to escape the mundane and disappointing aspects of life.

You who were once great, are now weak and pathetic
(I don't I don't I don't need anybody body I don't I don't I don't)
I need I need I need I need I need
Denying the need for help while desperately seeking it
