Testament - 5. Dangers Of the Faithless - The Formation Of Damnation
Predicting war, predicting life, predicting when disaster strikes
Living life, living death, living on borrowed time
End of time, end of days, end of all the things you save
See the future, see the past, what does he have in store...
Through the years, through the eyes and the lies
The world he sees has become no surprise
Through the years and the tears and the lies
Condemned to hell, condemned to fate, condemned to time
Sacrament, sacrilege, altar to a sacrifice
Smell the blood, smell the death, smell the stench of demons' breath
Filled with love, filled with hate, filled with hope that dissipates
Fallen hero, fallen god, fallen victims that we've become
Through the years, through the eyes and the lies
The world he sees has become no surprise
Through the years and the tears and the lies
Condemned to hell, condemned to fate, condemned to time
When you step into the circle prepare yourself as we choose your fate
As you're bleeding at the altar for your sins with blood you'll pay

![Testament - So Many Lies
Testament - 3. So Many Lies - The Ritual
[Music: Scolnick, Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy, James, Peterson]
I didnt mean to offend you
But you were way out of line
And I cant help the way I feel
Who said I feel fine ?
Ill only give you one warning
Then you must realize
The day of judgement is closing in
your selfish ways bring your demise
He who lies
Evil pays
Who are you ?
Who made you anyway ?
Wrong or right
Whos to say
I wanna know
Who made you God today
Slave to the ways of the system
Soon to be crucified
Ive seen into your darkest fears
The ones you cannot hide
I know where you go when
Your fears start showing
You run, You cannot hide
Will they respect you when
You ask of the world,
Forgive me for so many lies ?
He who lies
Evil pays
Who are you ?
Who made you anyway ?
Wrong or right
Whos to say
I wanna know
Who made you God today
Is there a need to pretend
To be a man, so divine
And even if I offended you
My truth you cant deny
I know where you go when
Your fears start showing
You run, You cannot hide
Will they respect you when
You ask of the world,
Forgive me for so many lies ?
He who lies
Evil pays
Who are you ?
Who made you anyway ?
Wrong or right
Whos to say
I wanna know
Who made you God today Testament - So Many Lies](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1lsDjsHkHiM/mqdefault.jpg)

Testament - 7. As The Seasons Grey - The Ritual
[Music: Peterson, Skolnick]
[Lyrics: Billy, James]
Take a look,what do you see
Image in the mirror
Yesterday is yesterday
Youll meet your marker
I know that time grows old
Cant stop the seasons
Shifting sands slip through your hands
Time is gone before its begun...
[CHORUS :]
Die
A little more
A little more for every day
Lord why
Oh tell me why
Do the seasons slowly grey?
Days of blue just turn to grey
The picture slowly aging
Nothing left to the memory
Death will not forsake them
God fearing people say
They are not afraid of dying
So why do they turn to faith
When faith has no meaning in life?
Time worn,worn time
Say goodbye to yesterday
After life,life after
Its all the same
The golden years bring out the pain
Death rolls in like the seasons change
Youve lost all hope but still you pray
Aging eyes that fail to see
The mirror has been shattered
Deaths knocking on their door
A vision filled with laughter
I know that time grows old
Cant stop the seasons
And as the end draws near
The storys over before its begun...

Testament - 9. Apocalyptic City - The Legacy
[Music: Skolnick, Peterson]
[Lyrics: Peterson, Skolnick]
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
[CHORUS :]
I can feel the fire
Burning inside of me
The powers at my fingers
Waiting you shall see
Burn,ignite the population
Burn,causing mass cremation
Burn,feel no shame or pity
Burn,apocalyptic city
Years have passed as I stood still
To plan the final blow
Ill make the town go up in flames
A hellish death theyll know
As I pour on the gasoline
I listen deep inside
I hear the cries of all my victims
Nowhere to run or hide
[CHORUS :]
Now my great assault is over
And my life is done
Staring at my great infernos
Was my only fun
So I leave you with my tale
Here my conscious falls
Victim of myself
So now Ill end it all

![Testament - The Ballad
Testament - 8. The Ballad - Practice What You Preach
[Testament / Skolnick,Billy]
Im not one to say
Where my feelings are going when they wither away
I pray to see another day
My hearts feeling like a needle lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
My friend do you think that we ever will
I know we are free...
The games are played with your life on the line
Some lose, you win if you keep on trying
I dont mind doing the time, Im happier being alive
Now I know the means to my opression were all lies
The only truth is your own most sacred lesson Ive ever learned
I know we are free...
Yeah,
Dont go,
No,
Dont look back,
Just realize
Ive been robbed, Ive been fooled
I intent now to make my own rules
Daggers edge cut the life, Ive been down that road too many times
Whats to fear, fear no more,
Show my conscience what fears for
Now I know this is so real
Whats done is done so do as you will!
Im keeping alive! Go on, no dont look back
Just realise where youve gone.
Where are you going to, no lifes not done wit you
Youre only just begun, to live your life, for you... Testament - The Ballad](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3kmwPnDmxSY/mqdefault.jpg)
