TESTAMENT LYRICS

1. Demonic Refusal

YOU TAKE MY HAND AND SYMPATHIZE
YOU FELT THE FLESH, YOU REALIZED
YOU TOOK MY WILL, NOW I'M DEPRIVED
SAVE MYSELF, JUST SAVE MYSELF

I...CAN NOT BE TAKEN UNTO
ALL THAT I HAVE CAN NOT BE TAKEN

SHE HAS WAYS MISCHIEVOUS
TAKES YOUR SOUL IN PACT
DEMONIC CHANTS OF MANATU
SAVE YOUR SOUL, JUST SAVE YOUR SOUL

I...CAN NOT BE TAKEN UNTO
ALL THAT I HAVE CAN NOT BE TAKEN

A STRONG WILL IS MY DEFENCE
FOR THE FUTURE AND PAST

I...FEEL WHAT I FEEL
I...SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN
I...HAVE WHAT I HAVE
ALL I HAVE IS FROM ME...YEAH!!!!

YEAH HE FEEDS ON INNOCENCE
DREAMS THE TASTE OF WAR
SMELLS THE FEAR THAT HE HAS DREAMT
WAKE YOURSELF, JUST WAKE YOURSELF

I...CAN NOT BE TAKEN UNTO

ALL THAT I HAVE CAN NOT BE TAKEN

THE TAROT CARDS ON THE TABLE
SHOWED THE FUTURE AND PAST

[CHORUS]
I...FEEL WHAT I FEEL
I...SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN
I...HAVE WHAT I HAVE
ALL I HAVE IS FROM ME...

I...AM A PRISONER OF FATE
I'M REFUSING ALL HATE
I...WILL CAST IT AWAY
I...WILL NOT BE A SLAVE

IN THROUGH OUT DEATH I SHALL BE

2. The Burning Times

BACK IN TIME THE PUNISHMENT
WAS BORN ALL YOU WITCHES BURN
SOME MOTHERS BURNED, BURNED ALIVE
HEAR THE CHILDREN CRY...

CHILDREN CRYING...MOTHERS DYING...

SOME WOULD DIE THE INNOCENT
SOME WOULD DIE A WHORE
SOME SO SCARED THE CHILDREN FLED
CONFUSED BY THIS WORLD

WHY...THEY DON'T WANT TO
BURN...ALIVE...

CAUGHT IN THE BURNING TIMES
WHEN ALL THE WITCHES DIED
STILL HEAR THE CHILDREN CRYING
THE BURNING TIMES...

SOME SAY WHEN YOU FLOAT A WITCH
YOU SET FREE THEIR SOUL
I'VE ALWAYS SAID...BURN THE BITCH
MY SPOKEN WORDS OF OLD

WHY...THEY DON'T WANT TO
BURN...ALIVE...

CAUGHT IN THE BURNING TIMES
WHEN ALL THE WITCHES DIED
STILL HEAR THE CHILDREN CRYING
THE BURNING TIMES...

BACK IN TIME THE PUNISHMENT
WAS BORN ALL YOU WITCHES BURN
SOME PAID THE PRICE, OF THIER CRIMES
CAUGHT IN THE BURNING TIMES

WHY...THEY DON'T WANT TO
BURN...ALIVE...

3. Together As One

I WAS BORN INTO A WOMB SO INSANE
OVER CROWDED CAUSE WE SHARE THE SAME VEINS
YOU CAN NOT BE...
MORE MAN THAN ME...
I...WILL NOT BE THE OTHER
I AM THE ONE...THE CHOSEN SON...
WHO DEVOURS AND SMOTHERS

VIOLENCE IS NOT THE WAY...
WHAT AM I ANYWAY...

IMPLANTATION AS THEY RIP US APART
JOINED TOGETHER CAUSE WE SHARE THE SAME HEART
YOU WILL NOT BE...
MORE MAN THAN ME...
I AM THE ONE...THE CHOSEN SON
WHO DEVOURS HIS BROTHER...

HURT...HELP..HELL...
AND NOW YOU WILL SEE...THAT WE WILL BE
ALWAYS...TOGETHER AS ONE
ALWAYS TOGETHER AS...

THE DOMINANT SON, WHO WAS JOINED AS ONE
ALWAYS...TOGETHER AS ONE
ALWAYS TOGETHER AS...

THE DOMINANT SON, WHO WAS JOINED AS ONE
ALWAYS WONDER WHY
THE UNBORN SON, WHO LIVES INSIDE HIS HEAD
CAN NEVER DIE

VIOLENCE IS NOT THE WAY...
DAMAGING VOWS I TAKE...
THE ONE WHO WAS BUILT OF RAGE
BOW DOWN BEFORE I

PRAYED FORGIVENESS
FROM THE FATHER ABOVE
JOINED TOGETHER
BUT NOT BONDED BY LOVE

I WILL NOT BE...
MORE MAN THAT HE...
WE...WILL NOT HAVE EACH OTHER...
I AM THE ONE...THE BURDEN SON...
WHO...DEVOURED HIS BROTHER...

HURT...HELP...HELL...
AND NOW YOU WILL SEE...THAT WE WILL BE
ALWAYS...TOGETHER AS ONE
WILL NOT BE HALF A MAN...
WE'RE JOIN TOGETHER AS...ONE...

4. Jun-Jun

CAST BEFORE MY EYES DECEIVE ME
A VISION OF MY LIFE
CANNOT SEEM TO HELP MYSELF
THE HELPLESS WON'T SURVIVE
FREE US FROM THE BEDS OF HELL
HEAVENS OVERTHROWN
THE RULER OF THE REAALM IS SEEN
IN EVIL AND OF SORROW

BLESSED IS THE STRENGTH OF MAN
INBEDED LIFE ENTOMBED
FEEDING OFF THE SICKEN(E?)D
OF MAN AND HIS ABUSE

HELP YOU, HELP ME
SAVE US, AND EVERYBODY!

I FIRST STARTED THINKING I WAS INSANE
TRYED TO TALK BUT COULD NOT REALLY SAY
I TURNED MY PLEASURE INTO THE PAIN
LET REALITY SLIP AWAY!

I HAVE TO FACE MY PUNISHMENT
MY SINS I WILL REPENT!

AS I LOOK TO THE HEAVENS ABOVE
REACH FOR THE SKY TO BE TOUCHED BY THE LOVE!

5. John Doe

HE DIED ON THORAZINE
LOST LIFE AND ANY HOPES
LAID HIM DOWN ON A BED OF STEEL
DOWNTOWN AT THE CITY MORGUE

[CHORUS:]
JOHN DOE...A MAN HAUNTED BY HIS PAST
JOHN DOE...HIS SOUL WILL NEVER REST

HE WAS RAISED AS AN ORPHAN
ABUSE VICTIM AS A CHILD
DREAMING HAUNTING MEMORIES
MADE JOHN DOE TAKE HIS OWN LIFE
JOHN DOE...A MAN HAUNTED BY HIS PAST
JOHN DOE...REALIZE THAT YOUR DEAD

HE WHO IS VICTIMIZED CAN NEVER GRASP
NEVER EVER KNOWING WHAT IS LOVE
HE WAS A BITTER MAN AN ONLY SON
NEVER EVER KNOWING WHAT IS...LOVE...NO LOVE

TAKE HEED TO MY WARNING
EVEN THOUGH I MIGHT BE WRONG
FULFILL LIFE FULL OF LOVE
OR YOU'LL END UP JUST LIKE JOHN
JOHN DOE...A MAN HAUNTED BY HIS PAST
JOHN DOE...REALIZE THAT YOUR DEAD

6. Murky Waters

HOLD YOUR BREATH AFRAID
GRASP THE ROPE IN FEAR
GRIP JUST SLIPS AWAY
YOU YELL BUT NO ONE HEARS...

YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL DROWN

YOUR FRIENDS SHOWED YOU THE WAY
THEY LEFT YOU TO RUN WILD
THEY JUST TURNED AWAY
YOUR ANGERED WITH A SMILE

YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL DROWN
YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU'LL BE FOUND OR NOT

DROWING IN THE DARKNESS
LIFE'S...ENDING...SORROW
BODY FEELING LIFELESS
LIFE'S...ENDING...SORROW
THE MINDS AT PEACE AN CONCIOUS
LIFE'S...ENDING...SORROW

WHERE ARE YOUR FRIENDS NOW
HAVE THEY LET YOU DOWN
THEY CAN'T BRING YOU BACK
THEY JUST LET YOU DROWNED

YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL DROWN

7. Hatreds Rise

SLASHING
THROUGH THE FIGHT
BEFORE HIM
DRESSED IN THE ARMOR
OF THE DEAD

CROSSED FISTS
CAN'T DENY
THE SWORD SO SWIFT
GETTING CLOSER TO THEIR LAIR

FOLLOW ME AND I'LL GIVE YOU A KING...
(SIIGING OVERTALKING)
FIGHT WITH ME AND KILL FOR YOUR KING

HATRED WAS A MAN OUT TO SEEK
VENGEANCE FOR THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER.
FOR HE IS THE ONE BARES THE MARK
OF THE GREAT WARRIOR KING AND
NO ONE CAN STOP HIM

WAITING
FOR TONIGHT
THE AX SWINGS
INTO BATTLE ON THE WALL

THE HIGH PRIEST
BLESSED THE BLOODSHED
OF DEFEAT
THE SMELL OF DEATH ROAMS
THROUGH THE AIR

STRIKING
BLOWS FROM LIFE
FOR MY KING
DEATHLY VICTIM OF THE BLADE

RISING
FLAMES OF WAR
SHINE THROUGH THE NIGHT
UNTIL THE DAWN THE TROOPERS STORM

STABBING AND SLASHING -
WHEN NIGHT FALLS
THEY ALL MUST DIE...
BEATING AND BASHING
WITH BLOOD LUST
FROM HATREDS RISE...

STABBING AND SLASHING -
THE NIGHTS GONE
ON ONE ALIVE...
BEATING AND BASHING
WITH BLOOD LUST
FROM HATREDS RISE...

8. Distorted Lives

I'M SO DISTORTED, THAT I'M FADING AWAY
HUMAN DESTRUCTION HAS NOW SEALED OUR FATE

THE TRUTH IS WAR
THERES SUFFERING
I AM A STRONGER MAN
MAN WHO I AM...I'M DISTORTED LIVES...

I'VE SEEN THE WORLD SUFFER HUMAN DISTINCTION
I'VE SEEN THROUGH EYES OF RAGE
IT'S TIME TO STAND AND RISE

AND FACE THE WAR
AND SUFFERING
THE WORLD WE SCORN IS OUR
WORLD UNCAPTURED...

DARK MACHINES THAT SHADE THE LIGHT
WON'T LET YOU UNDERSTAND
I SIDE WITH INNOCENCE
AND HAIL FOR RESISTANCE...RESISTANCE [2X]

DARK DISEASE THAT TAKES THE LIFE
OF ALL OUR FELLOW MAN
NO TIME FOR IGNORANCE
SALVATION HERE IT COMES AGAIN...

I'VE WATCHED THE EARTH, SLOWLY WITHER AWAY
HUMAN DESTRUCTION HAS NOW SEALED OUR FATE

THE TRUTH IS WAR
AND SUFFERING
I AM A STRONGER MAN
MAN WHO I AM, I AM MAN
DISTORTED LIVES, YOU SINNERS SIGH
SOCIETY NEEDS...DISTORTED LIVES

9. New Eyes Of Old

PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE
THE FIRST STEP IN CREATING A SITUATION
DREAMS...OF NEW..LIES CONFUSED
LIES TO YOU WILL TRUTH SHINE THROUGH
WHAT THE RAIN WON'T WASH AWAY
THE SUN IS BLACK WITH SHADES OF GRAY
REFLECTIONS OF THESE STRANGER DAYS
SEEN THROUGH NEW EYES
DIE THROUGH OLD...

NEW EYES...EYES...LIES
CONFLICTING WORLDS UPON YOUR BACK
THE WEIGHT WILL FATE UNDO
SEEN THROUGH EYES OF NEW...
CRUCIFY ME SANCTIFY ME...NOW
LIVE THROUGH NEW EYES
DIE THROUGH OLD

NEW...NEW EYES OF OLD
LIVE...DREAM..DIE

DESTINED TO REPEAT
DOOMED TO FORGET [2X]

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
NIEVE AND BLIND A CURSE FOR OUR TIME
WE LIVE OUR LIVES DAY BY DAY
OUR HEARTS BLEED WITH FEAR...LIES
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO MAKE A CHANGE
WE WON'T SURVIVE THESE STRANGE DAYS

CRUCIFY ME SANCTIFY ME...NOW
SEEN THROUGH NEW EYES DIE THROUGH OLD

NEW...NEW EYES OF OLD...[2X]
DESTINED TO REPEAT...DOOMED TO FORGET...[X2]
NEW EYES OF OLD [2X]

10. Ten Thousand Thrones

CAST AWAY BY DARKNESS
IT'S TIME TO LET YOU KNOW
VOICES OF MANY SOLDIERS
ARISE TEN THOUSAND THRONES

THEIR JUST TURNED AWAY, THEIR TOLD THAT THEIR OK
THE SPREAD OF CHEMICAL WARFARE
DESTROYED THE HUMAN RACE
LIFE IS DARKENING, SICKENING
ENDLESS CONSCIOUS SLUMBER, TEN THOUSAND THRONES

PARALYZED, DEPRESSION
SCHIZOPHRENIC MINDS
NEW BORN RETARDATION
A WAR THEIR BORN TO FIGHT
LIFE IS DARKENING, SICKENING
ENDLESS CONSCIOUS SLUMBER, TEN THOUSAND THRONES

CANCEROUS TUMOR INVADING THE MIND
LEAVING BEHIND
ASHES ARE BURNING THAT FALL FROM THE SKY
POLITICALLY DEVINE
HONOR THE CODE AND DEFENDING THE LINE
PRETENTIOUS LIES
THE FIGHTING OF WAR IS SHATTERING LIVES
THE DEATH OF MANKIND

WHY HAVE WE FORGOTTEN
A WAR, THE HOLOCAUST
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION
TEN THOUSAND LIVES WERE LOST

11. Nostrovia
