Testament - 9. The Sermon - The Ritual
[Music: Peterson]
[Lyrics: Billy, James]
Suit up for destruction
Death looks behind many faces
Hatred plants its deepest seed
In the most obvious places
Symbols of allegiance
Chaos spells devotion
The master plan is set in motion
Oh,Yeah!!
What the hell are you proud of
Heads held low
Self respect must be carved
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
You're going blind
Now let it flow...
Waiting to deliver
Imposing martial laws of pain
KKK or CIA
They are one and all the same
[Chorus]
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
You're going blind
Can't get to me
Or abuse me
Your racist tears will amuse me
And then you'll bleed...
Now let it flow...
Charismatic leaders
Preach their sermons of ignorance
please take heed soon my friends
promises won't cleanse the sins
[Chorus]

![Testament - Hail Mary
Testament - 3. Hail Mary - Low
[Music: Peterson, Murphy]
[Lyrics: Billy, James]
I am alive
I feel dirt in my eyes
Theres no escape when redemption is lost
Im not a saint
Theres no use to looking
No sins to deny
Just my will to go on
Armas of darkness
Embrace me in madness
In my life its mandatory
Hard to resist you
I still cant 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
Im not a saint
Theres 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 Testament - Hail Mary](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UzaE7zsNFDE/mqdefault.jpg)
