Testament lyrics
Album: Demonic [1997]
| 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 feel can not be taken
A strong will is my defense
For the future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me
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 until
All that I have can not be taken
The tarot cards on the table
They showed the future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What 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
You take my hand and sympathize
You felt the flesh, you felt the flesh
You took my will, now I'm deprived
Save myself, just save myself
I... can not be taken until
All that I have can not be taken
The tarot cards on the table
They showed the future and past
I... feel what I feel
I... seen what I've seen
I... have what I have
What I have is from me
I... In through out death I shall be
I... In through out death I shall be

Cast away by darkness
It's time to let you know
Voices of many soldiers
Arise ten thousand thrones
They're just turned away, they're told that they're 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 they're 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
|
| Together as One | |
|
In a world polluted inside
let's pretend the nightmare is done
from the earth the magma will rise
From the sea comes cancerous tides
The meaning of life ends in prophecy
Premonitions bring tragedy
is the hope for humanity
Molten fire.. flies thru the sky
Burning high... eclipse of the sun
Blackened skies
Rites of the night
The days in darkness in 2012
Mother earth's been withered by time
Already dead and we didn't even know it
Watch the stars to give us a sign
From above, all the angels descend
The meaning of life ends in agony
Raped by impurites
Not chance for humanity
Molten fire.. flies thru the sky
Burning high... eclipse of the sun
Blackened skies
Rites of the night
The days in darkness in 2012
Magma splits the earth and shifts below
Molten lava bursts and overflow
Rise as we wait, annihilate
Burning earth pulls to the sun
Rise as we wait, obliterate
Burning earth pulls to the sun
Three days of dakness in 2012
Mega cities still blaze in the night
Burning the ashes they choke
From the earth the magma will rise
Enveloped in poisonus smoke
so the meaning of life ends in prophecy
Premonitions of tragedy
still no hope for humanity
Molten fire.. flies thru the sky
Burning high... eclipse of the sun
Blackened skies
Rites of the night
The days in darkness in 2012

He died on thorazine
Lost life and any hopes
Laid him down on a bed of steel
Laid downtown at the city morgue
John Doe... a man haunted by his past
John Doe... his lost 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 you're 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... his lost soul will never rest
John Doe... a man haunted by his past
John Doe... realize that you're dead
John Doe... John
John Doe... John

Slashing through the fight
Before him dressed in the armor of the dead
Crossed fists
Can't deny
The swift sword
Getting closer to their lair
Follow me and I'll give you a king
Singing over talking
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 bears the mark
Of the great warrior king and
No one can stop him
Waiting
For tonight
The ax swings
Into battle on the wall
Striking
Blows from life
For my king
Deathly victim of the blade
Stabbing and slashing
When night falls
They all must die...
Beating and bashing
With blood lust
From hatred's rise
The high priest
Blessed the blood shed
Of defeat
The smell of death roams
Through the air
Rising
Flames of war
Shine through the night
Until the dawn the troopers storm
Stabbing and slashing
The nights gone
No one alive...
Beating and bashing
With blood lust
From hatred's rise

Chant incantate
See his legions march in trace
Destroy desecrate
Church of lies
The priest await to be
Right in this world
By fate the host of hate
Arose from a whirl
Sealed the earth from all it's sins
From fire that he spreads
Where's your God to save you know
from the hordes of the undead
Hear the locust roar...
The legions of the dead
Envoked in this world
The legions of the dead
Envoked all hell on earth
Choked this world dead
Paralyzed by what they believe
to be... unholy, all evil
Immortal, unholy, infernal...
Unholy, all evil
Immortal, unholy unfernal one...
The legions of the dead...
envoked all hell on earth

Music: Peterson, Murphy
Lyrics: Billy, James
I am alive
I feel dirt in my eyes
There's no escape when redemption is lost
I'm not a saint
There's no use to looking
No sins to deny
Just my will to go on
Armas of darkness
Embrace me in madness
In my life it's mandatory
Hard to resist you
I still can't forgive you
For sins that I cannot wash away
Hail Mary full of grace
Throw some light upon this race
Intertwining final breath
Now... in the hour of death
Solo: James
Bound by the lies
Of constant denial
Pay for my sins that I bear for a child
I'm not a saint
There's no use denying
Falling from grace
Is my reason to go on
Hail Mary full of grace
Put me down, and kick me in my face
Intertwining final breath
Now... in the hour of death

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
You're angered with a smile
You don't know if you will drown
You don't know if you'll be found or not
Drowning in the darkness
Lying... ending... sorrow
Body's feeling lifeless
Lying... ending... sorrow
The minds at peace and conscious
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

Hate...
Hate is a lesson we know
Alone on its own it will die
It eats what it needs to survive...
It wants to survive
Every night you look deep in your soul
Burn the fields
Where the the hatred is grown...
Hate...
Hate always seething to find
some way to get to your brain
Infesting what's pure in the mind
Hatred divine...
Look around you is anyone pure
Free of hatred
Inside this cold world
Pre-conceived
Truth from lies
Blind to see
Thru sewn shut eyes
Hate breeds hate
Hate...
Always eager to rise
Above all to gain full control
Infesting what's pure in the mind
Evil entwined...
Even now that the seeds have been sewn
Burn the fields
Where the hatred still grows...
Hate breeds hate
How many have die
before we realize hate undermines
Hate...
Hate always eager to find
some way to tear out your soul
Surviving the passage of time
Dirty white lies...
Back in time as our history shows
Endless cycless
of hatred still flow
Pre-conceived heartless lies
Blind to see - thru sewn shut eyes
Is there still hope for us now?
I said - is there still hope for us now?
NO!!!
