TESTAMENT LYRICS

1. Beginning Of The End (Intro)

2. Face In The Sky

Shadows glow from the full moonlight
Hear clouds cry, it's so insane
Souls hold on to the key of life
See how it's bleeding from the pain

When will they open their eyes
Stop to face our demise
It's live or die
Who am I?
Face in the sky

Walk with me, my friend to a darkened place
Welcome down to the abyss
Caught between two worlds with no advocate
The legion's army
Holds on to your fate

When will they open their eyes
Stop to face our demise
It's live or die
Who am I?
Face in the sky

Screams from the night
Seem to intensify
As the air shifts silent through
Ghouls crowded in the clouds
On a misty night
Guarding secrets
Man has brought to you

When will they open their eyes
Stop to face our demise
It's live or die
Who am I?
Face in the sky

3. Falling Fast

Locked in the darkened world
Made to never last
That's where the dreams you seek
Are like stories from the past
Sweet infant child's born
Sweet mother of the womb
Hope it is over soon
Not much more can I take

Help me lord
I'm falling fast
Bring me back

Nerves slip away from
Within your conscious mind
Translucent hopes are now
Nothing but dismal lies
You lived your life so down
To the bitter end
Better think it over now
Your life has just begun

Help me lord
I'm falling fast
Bring me back
From suicide

Just show me life is how
And not a bitter war
The odds in favor now
It's hard to live and learn
Silence the sorrow
And don't let it slip away
Think of tomorrow
As the future of today

Help me lord
I'm falling fast
Bring me back
From suicide
I'm falling fast!!

Locked in the darkened world
Made to never last
That's where the dreams you seek
Are like stories from the past
Sweet infant child's born
To the mother of the womb
Hope it is over soon
Not much more can I take

Help me lord
I'm falling fast
Bring me back
From suicide
I'm falling fast!!

4. Souls Of Black

Can't you see
That in the world we live in
Political lies
Are just corporate decisions
They'll take away
All the hopes, not their promises
They'll put an end to this
Land of the livin

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

They got control
Of the heart of a nation
Their social bribes
Seem so graciously
As time goes by
'Cause time as you can see
Will slowly die for you and me

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

So put an end
To this idolization
Antagonizing so commonly
Open your eyes
'Cause the lie's there so plain to see
Life goes on
There's no guarantees

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

They're bleeding so black

5. Absense Of Light

Life as we know,
Is full of gloom
Oppress the masses
We'll lead to our doom
We want the right
To live or die
Can't take away
What we feel inside

Like empty shadows,
Afflict our brains
Envision dreams
Just to ease the pain
There's more to life
That to satisfy
I ask myself
For the reason why.

If it were my way
I'd deliver us from this hell
If it were my way.

If ever there comes a day
Renovations blown away
Realize what we've thrown away

Is there no end
To this endless war
The fear of man
In now what's in store.
We look at life as a memory
Long live the dreams
That they took from me.

If it were my way
I'd deliver us from this hell
If it were my way.

6. Love To Hate

Hail to the new leader now
Ruler of this land,
With plans that follow
To demonstrate
Fear the blackened band
So horrid
And deathly true
Dishonest and powermad
Unspoken, sealed fate
Bursting to desolate

His love to hate
He'll murder souls like me and you
But along the way
He'll have to dwell
In his own hell

Clear the streets
See them marching
While columns take a stand
Time provoked, their mirror of hatred
With dark uncanny plans
To take out
And follow through
Just following their orders
With death rates
And death's roll
Those poor unfortunate souls

His love to hate
He'll murder souls like me and you
But along the way
He'll have to dwell
In his own hell

Twisting and turning
Through the mazes in your head
But in a time like this
You're beter off dead

The time has come now
Put up or shut down
The feelings that you have
Were lost and never found

His love to hate
He'll murder souls like me and you
But along the way
He'll have to dwell
In his own hell

7. Malpractice

We all will go and stay sometime
Soon to be victim of a crime
Loss of blood and death is near
Take a number, can you wait right here

Check in - to the place
Reduce your life into disgrace
Isn't there some kind
Of better way

When it's time to operate
Fatalistic figures hold your fate
Just relax you'll feel no pain
Hope they put you in the right domain

Patient helpless to defy
Negligence is why

Check in - to the place
Reduce your life into disgrace
Isn't there some kind
Of better way

Within the laws
They'll rip you off
They write you off
Malpractice!
And in the end
They'll let you in
Please come again
Malpractice!

Suffer until you get well
Bleak existence like a prison cell
If you find your life is lost
Dedicate the world to pay the cost

Patients helpless to defy
Negligence is why

Check in - to the place
Reduce your life into disgrace
Isn't there some kind
Of better way

Within the laws
They'll rip you off
They write you off
Malpractice!
And in the end
They'll let you in
Please come again
Malpractice!

8. One Man's Fate

Time is nothing but life's decay
Pitch your reverend path
This is the path you paved
What you will find
Is life's only way
There's no looking back
There must be a better way

Lightning skies
Prayers from an open grave
A dead man's eyes
Must be a dead man's day
What you will find
Is life's only way
There's no looking back
Back to a better way

Black skies fade to shadow grey
The darkness is so deep
Prayers for the light of day
What you will find
Is life's only way
There's no looking back
Back to a better way

Lightning skies
Prayers from an open grave
A dead man's eyes
Must be a dead man's day
That leads to one man's fate
There ain't no better way to die

Fate, there's no compromise
Hate leads to suicide
Trapped in a crystal haze
Hail to a dead man's day

Time is but a passageway
Trying to believe
Your life was sanity
A matter of time
Is all that you need
Life's not coming back
Back to those better days

Lightning skies
Prayers from an open grave
A dead man's eyes
Must be a dead man's day

9. The Legacy

We're gonna take you back
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy

I could laugh and play
And live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul

The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return

Looking at the sky
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through

Wish the sky would say
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there

Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me

Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same

Turn the pages back in time
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late now

Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me

Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name

10. Seven Days Of May

Put your life on the line
To hesitate is a waste of time
No giving in to repent
Unto the system of the government

It's called the People's Republic here
The propaganda so sincere
Oh, what a joke and a blatant lie
From criminals ranking high

Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause

Put an end to hypocrisy
Lead the way to democracy
No longer will be play the fool
To brutalized military rule

They started forty years ago
We never could say yes or no
Million souls make our voice
We want the right to make a choice

Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause

Freedom, freedom calling
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom falling
Seven days of may

They tried to show a peaceful path
Then it turned into a blood bath
In the square they plan the game
That's when the tanks of the army came

They called the murders minimal
Described their victims as criminals
Dead souls like you and me
Who only wanted free society

Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause

Freedom, freedom calling
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom falling
Seven days of may
