Testament - 10. Seven Days of May - Souls Of Black
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 bloom bath
In the squarethey plan the game
That's when the thanks 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

![Testament - Haunting [Live]
Testament - 3. Haunting [Live] - Return to the Apocalyptic City
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
Tenants of the castle slain
Black cats will appear
As the witching hour nears
Lost souls will all be told
For a haunting we will go
See their dreams come to life
Under pressure holding tight
Feel the cold grabbing hold
To feed you on the haunting night
Evil witch, black as pitch
Starts a fire with a flinch
Burning fire rising higher
Making music like a choir
Children of the night
Theyre howling at black skies
The ruthless calls within
For the haunting now begins
Stay away from the shining light
Cant seem to find the answers there
Bring back the terror in the night
That we all share tonight
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
Tenants of the castle slain
Black cats will appear
As the witching hour nears
Lost souls will all be told
For a haunting we will go Testament - Haunting [Live]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cWofG9pmqGg/mqdefault.jpg)

Testament - 4. Raging Waters - The Legacy
[Music: Peterson]
[Lyrics: Souza, Peterson]
[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
We watched it slowly burn
Well never see our homeland
We know it all right then
That fate was on the second hand
Of borrowed time again
For that evil pathed our way
The men were being thrown
From left and right they feel
The water was as hot as satans
Forge from hell
The questions that arose like
Where the hell are we
I had a good idea were in the
Devils sea : the triangle !
See whats become of your
Life left to live
No hope from this land of trust
Hells winds scream sacrilege
Death from above
The great white closes in
The corpses afloat all shattered in rage
No hope for our piece of mind
Satans vessels come closer and closer
He holds the seas fate in his hand
[CHORUS :]
Violence terror
Raging waters
Dying has scare us nowhere to go
Darkness prevails no one to save us
Every one man for himself
The red gem of Hades is shining
Too hot
Satans power becomes strong
His armies have killed so many
Before us
A sacrifice must be done
The door of the chosen
Has opened for us what sanctuary
Will we see
See him panic crying in lust
Screaming hell get me
[CHORUS :]

![Testament - Troubled Dreams
Testament - 11. Troubled Dreams - The Ritual
[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
Starring off into the sky
Down on Myself
Loneliness brings my demise
Oh,what a nightmare
Here we go
Leave me be
Why must I please them
When I cant even please myself
Deep in thoughts
But I still feel so
Lost in endless despair
Starring off into the sky
Down on myself
Loneliness brings my demise
Oh,what a nightmare
Here we go
As you soon realize
The nights so black I feel blind
Should I keep wandering on
On and on and on
Theres just one thing you should know
No I cant take it no more
Two wrongs dont make it right
Right or wrong I cant take it
And in the end you will find
Find me a peace of mind
Forever lost
Severing my thoughts
From the dream I must seek
Time to end
This aggravation
The nomad spirit lives in me

Testament - 2. Legions (In Hiding) - Low
[Music: Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy, James]
Domestically violent
With razor blade smiles
Infested with anger
A well hidden crime
Teaching those lessons so cruel
Ah, the torment spreads
War inside my head
Please just set me free
You call this... a family?
Battered, abusive
Theres no wrong or right
When youre enslaved in your room
Hiding from demons
In urban daylight
Knowing that theyll be here soon
Confusion and bruises
And scars left for life
When physical evidence fades
Silently screaming
Just to be loved
Their innocence taken away
Ah, the torment spreads
War inside my head
Please just set me free
You call this... a family?
[Solos: Eric, James]
Virtues are shattered
By parents they trust
When all love they give is misued
The next generation
The damaged will learn
To keep spinning wheels of abuse
Ah, the torment spreads
War inside my head
Please just set me free
You call this... a family? Testament - Legions (In Hiding)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fHWjHIeNTyw/mqdefault.jpg)

Testament - 6. - P.C. - Low
[Music: Christian, Peterson]
[Lyrics: Christian]
Damn the machine the systems corrupted
Abusive power is everywhere
Our elected officals, pass laws to help
But whos paying them off
And in the end, we the people pay
Such a heavy price, just for being alive
And if this country was really free
Wed make paper from hemp and let the forest live
But corporate America, and billion dollar industries
Have so much power
Yet they stand to lose
Too much fucking money
Theres nothing we can do... but...
Take back all that weve lost
At any price that it costs
Our freedom was worth fighting for
Resistance now or nevermore
[Solo: James]
And what about the CIA
What the fuck is their real job anyway
Starting civil wars in Third World countries
Importing heroin from the far east
Talk about cocaine, neither kept away
From the youths of today... now
Theres nothing we can do... but...
Take back all that weve lost
At any price that it costs
Our freedom was worth fighting for
Resistance now or nevermore Testament - P.C.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fP_qtza7vNw/mqdefault.jpg)
