That Oath You Can Take

Yep, that's right, takeaway oaths. I mean, this fits today’s topic like a glove, if I may say so, even though we’re not talking about the whole song here - namely The Oath (1981), to name it - but merely a fill-in segment in it that, whilst brief, is nonetheless noteworthy.

And you can find it, on the one hand, prominently right at the beginning, amidst the main riff - and, on the other, immediately after the guitar solo, where it takes on an even more striking role in increasing and resolving tension at the same time. Actually it's just a kind of pad, but still a very effective one in my ear.

So, it’s precisely this part that you’ll get in Get All You Can Take (1984), where it’s even promoted to the second half of the main riff. Which I personally welcome, as I’ve always believed this little hammer-on kind of riff was rather appealing.

And well, you could actually leave it at that, because that would basically cover the whole thing. Of this little piece.

THE OATH

'The Oath' is the official induction and swearing into the Bat-Family. It is a ceremony that takes place in the Batcave and all Bat-Family members MUST attend. There is no lights, just the candle. The glowing eyes of the bats and Birds of your new family, And Bruce. Batman, Personally, swears you in.

The oath differs from person to person but, at it's core, is a oath and a vow, similar to Bruce's to fight for justice and righteousness. To help those in need so no one suffers like they have. To fight crime and corruption in all forms and never sway from the path of the light and good.

You raise your right hand and put your left on his, as if you were swearing on a bible in court.

You are reborn in the darkness that created Batman decades ago and he vows to let you in and be apart of his crusade. To support you and help when you ask. And to be a member of his and their family.

After the oath, the lights come back on. You get your bat crest on your costume and have a little party with the family to welcome you into the fold.

EVERYONE in the family has done this and you can not be a part of the Bat-Family until you do. You must pass Bruce's training and the final test before you get your ceremony.
