[Testament/Skolnick]

Bold is the one who dares to say what he feels
Renegation man, to one he yields
The bleeding hearts and empty minds, hiding words they fear
Blind is the one who censors what we see and hear
Come into my world and take a journey with me
Paint me a portrait now, of the things you see

[Testament / Peterson]

In regards to the nature used with pacts of magic
Spirits from the vastly deep
Respond the calls from their broken silence.
Make sure you reach does not exceed your grasp
All that is to be done before you act
In a pact of invoking spirits from the past

[Testament / Skolnick,Billy]

I'm not one to say
Where my feelings are going when they wither away
I pray to see another day
My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
My friend do you think that we ever will

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

First there came a mass
Brilliant lights of flash
All across the president's skies
As he sits and laughs

He preaches non-conformity
I don't think they see
They live for him and what he believes

Trapped in a nightmare
Prisoners of warfare
Days gone become years
Of suffering
Fight on but what's to gain?
Misfortune leads to pain
Fearless they won't die
Caged in they ask why

[Music: Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy]

I like to dominate
I create your fate
Many years gone by
I rule society
You cannot be me

When I was but very young
Sorcerers came to claim my mind
Leaving death and hatred to unmask
The master of the game had won
And let his final sin be known
Killing those who stand in his path

Alone in the dark, where the demons are torturing me

Born into a world of hatred
Nothing to live for
What started with a simple match
Turned into something more
The pain I felt inside my head
Came on my day of birth
Now the time has come for me
To burn the planet Earth

Take a look,what do you see
Image in the mirror
Yesterday is yesterday
You'll meet your marker
I know that time grows old
Can't stop the seasons
Shifting sands slip through your hands
Time is gone before it's begun...

[Testament / Billy, Skolnick, Peterson]

All that can escape me, all I realise
That it will come back to me the day my father dies.
His burning eyes would stare at you
I was born a masochist
I cried out in pain, as he clenches up his fist

Summoned to the house of seance
To play the evil tarot cards
To find out what our fate will bring us
Before the war

Approaching now the hour of tiamat
Evil feelings in the air
The chosen wait impatiently

Witches grow restless
The priests are impatient
My legions scream
The gates must be open
Our master repels
A massage of hope
On through the gates we march
The sentinels await

Grace - in a perfect world
On shines the light
Praise - an angelic song
but there's another side you'll see
Now hide
salvation easily denied

Reigns - Down with misery

[Music: Peterson, Christian]
[Lyrics: Billy, James]

Paralyzed
And never coming back
Even when your eyes are open
Everything turns to black
Soon forgotten senses

Sadist without reason, a pervert for all seasons
The headlines scream, hear them roar
Sanctified by the crimson by a diabolical drifter
The Night Stalker prowls to hunt you down
Who is this evil slayer, Death Valley perpetrator
When you say goodnight beware of the dark

City of Angels, Servant of Satan

Life, Death
To live by the code
Ancient Tales are the stories told
We must enforce
Babylonian code of the law

Rise, Fall
The lines been drawn

There was a sign on an ancient veil,
A dream that never really was
She only ever seemed to hope for a world
So surreal to the touch
She doesn't want to wake
She only wants to sleep
Afraid of what they seek and where she's been
When she awakes, she bends to her knees to pray

Osiris was murdered, by his brother Set
A pharaoh dethroned, brought back from the dead
Now Isis gave birth to their begotten son
Horus will train to avenge his father’s death

Lord of Death within the afterlife
Protector of the underworld

Take a look away
Think about the things you say
The day awaits your soul in chains
Ya got to make it today
Or there will be hell to pay
And there is no other way

Look at how you're living now

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

Cast to the fire
Banned by the light
Worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind
In his evil place
Your fate is all that youll see
I am the one
To show you the path

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

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

Living my life on borrowed time
watching my dreams disappear
my fists slowly clench
as my mind seeks control
my body trembles in fear
life was looking up for me
when I left home
seems like yesterday

Music: Peterson
Lyrics: Peterson, Billy, James

Of dog faced gods
Through the Nile sands whisper
Of ancient times, mayfly names
Flickered and gone

Every night becomes a nightmare
Nowhere left to escape
She grips my soul and takes control from which I can’t awake
Tormented thoughts are clouding my mind
Won’t you leave me alone
Yet every night, when I close my eyes, still the wicked roam

Dream Deceiver

A world of chaos
A world of fear
A world of anger and corruption
When all is lost
And millions starve
Is this humanity's destruction?

Life! A game that people play

Here we go
The people show
Victims of tomorrow
The way it goes
It never shows
Emptiness or sorrow
There is nothing left inside
Nothing left to cry for

Eyes of wrath
The beast is on your back
Razorblade slice your neck
Slowly tear you down
Takes another life
To feed his bloody lust
Random crime spree attack
There's no random at all

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

So let’s begin one by one
First the old then the next were the young
Barley kept alive
Loving mother, father and child

Locked in a rotten cell
A living hell
Left there without remorse

Prisoners of the venom master
Guilty for what you've been charged
Sit in cells condemned to face
The deadly snap of their jaws
Terror stricken you lie and wait
In the final hour
Knowing of your wretched fate
And the serent power

[Testament / Skolnick]

Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away
Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe
So the world we know is dying slow in South America
Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground

Time is running low, we can't stay no more

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

Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne
We're all the good, the bad
The worst and the best
And where they land is their eternal rest

Foul plays of passion
At twilight's dim

A goddess of both love and war
The lion and the star
Safe behind the golden gates
Protection from this world

Queen of the underworld
Long may she reign
Queen of nocturnal wars

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

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

[Music: Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy, James]

Listen now to my sordid tale
My words they speak to you
They testify
You can't deny
You see it's on so true

Hail to the new leader now
Rules of this land
with plans that follow
to demonstrate
Fear the blackened band
So horrid
and deathly true
Dishonest and powermad

Fuel the fire for war
It's man against mankind
Bruises that they bear
Been beaten down with time

Innocent people suffer the loss
Your broken hope so close to the cross
Sometimes, you just don't know

We all will go and stay sometime
Soon to be victim of a crime
Loose 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

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

Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall
Whenever I'm pushed against the wall
This white man's world won't tell me what to do ...

Nowhere to run, my native blood
I wanna reach and touch the sun
Blistering my soul but I can't feel

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

You wanted money, you wanted fame,
You broke the rules before you know the game
Bounds tearing you up like a knife
Wis it was the end of your life, it's a nightmare
Going down that road on account of you
No escape from the things you put me through
I don't know, I don't care, I can't go anywhere,
It's a nightmare coming back to you!

Lord I must be dreamin'
What else could this be
Everybody's screamin'
Runnin' for the sea
Holy lands are sinkin'
Birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinkin' drunk
I know the reason why

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

I've been a prisoner
Trapped in by fear
Ordered for the rest of my life
Condemned in a jail cell
Ain't seen life in years
Escape is the only way out

[CHORUS :]

[Testament/Billy, Peterson, Skolnick]

You think your life's so grad
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make, your mind so blank

[1 :]
Our ship sailed on through the
Violent burning sea
Not knowing of the danger
Waiting in store for me
We wound up all in mayhem
The vessel tossed and turned
The compass that had led us

Marching our way through the crypts of the dead
Taking his land by command
Killing our victims and taking no slaves
Hitler's final third reich
Engines are roaring the warheads ablast
The destroyer claims their fate
Hells legions armies
They march to defy

I'm gonna take you
To a place far from here
No one will see us
Watch the pain as it disappears
No time for anger
No time for despair
Won't you come with me
There's a room for us there

[Music: Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy, James]

Doesn't know what to do anymore
Jesus makes love to the spike
A trick for a fix and feeling so sck
Just can't seem to get right

Caged... and riding the snake
Straight down from the night
True love for the fix
and she never been able
one minute
to kick back the feelings enticed
and you know it's never the same
Venomous poison constricting your life

Cada vez que me tropiezo, cada vez que me caigo
Siempre que soy empujado contra la pared
Este mundo del hombre blanco no me va a decir qué hacer

No hay donde correr mi sangre nativa
Quiero llegar y tocar el Sol
Ampollas mi alma, pero no puedo sentir
Usted me hace decir, fuera de mi camino

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

Sewn Shut Eyes

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

Burial of a human being
A man before a boy
Born to fight in another man's world
Not a world where there's a war

Born religiously
Truth is what they see
Death won't come form peace

The day vanished in the night, soon the children pray
Pray themselves alone, the hate built from their pride
You can't take away, can't take what they own!
The eyes watching from the sky, guides them through the haze
Calling far away, the rain is black as black, black as night
Oh let them pray!
False sense of pride, satisfies
There's no reason for suicide

[Music: Scolnick, Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy, James, Peterson]

I didn't mean to offend you
But you were way out of line
And I can't help the way I feel
Who said I feel fine ?
I'll only give you one warning

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

Trapped between these eyes
Mistrust, no compromise
Can’t see the cause
Grasping at empty straws
Your love turned to scorn
Like a toxic thorn
Deepening despair
Psychotherapeutic care

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

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

Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold
The meeting for the haunting night

Headless ghosts fill the halls
Shadow plays of grief and pain
Phantom speaks his final note

Seems like yesterday
Life would never be the same
There’s nothing you can do
About the sickness in you

Behold a man of principle
Paint me invincible
My sacred feather I shall use

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

Takers of humanity, elders paranoid
The time is now
Give up this world you once destroyed
Society versus the underground
Their battles fought and lost
the time has come
to rule the world at any cost

In days of old
When the books were untold
Speak of a world crushed by sin.
"The people will mourn
Of a war to be born"
Nobody would listen to him.
Think back in time
When the future you find

Say hello again, my friends
I've got to go
The ritual calls to me
Screams twist in harmony

Blinding lights reveal
Thoughts that should not be
The ritual calls to me

[Testament/Billy]

Yeah! The way I feel, seems to me to be so real
So sick and tired you know just how I feel
Cops they dress in black, they bid their lives
The bribes they stack, so sick and tired
Of the same old this and that
The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell

I was born into a womb so insane
over crowded cause we share the same weins
you can not be...
more than me...

I... will not be the other...
I am the one... the chosen son...
who devours and smothers...

See the sun as the day is done
Life is of the broken ones
Some will stray as time will come

All their lives, they live it well
Red man proud and giving hell
Some stand and shining tall

Accuse you of a crime
Sentenced to endless time
The price you have to pay
Won't get away!
Sworn in by the stand
Your rights are gone
The system's banned
They think you are a liar

[Music: Scolnick, Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy, James, Peterson]

Troubled dreams
Of a wandering nomad
Damned to be all by myself I travelled far
Following bright stars
Through the endless desert sands

Do you believe in the darkness below
Well I can summon them up
If you really want to know
As I tow the line
between bad and evil
Nothing can touch me now
True believer

Device of doom, pure savagery
A holocaust on land or sea
On blighted land these lords of war shall roam

Dictator’s oath, his destiny
Destroyer of humanity
Launch an assault that the world has never seen
