@ALBUM: TESTAMENT The New Order 1988 Megaforce Records Inc. @SONG: Eerie Inhabitants 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 Cryout! Will they see another day? No one to help us, The children pray Nobody listens to their crying This great depression When will it end? To live like this is worse than dying Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? Your destiny is over Your fate has declined Refuse to discover What so many could find Death's endless toil As I long for rest Life's now forsaken Condemned to repress! No sign of heaven No sign of hell Just the sign of pain and sorrow This generation inhabits all To form an order for tomorrow Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? @SONG: The New Order 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 For the past it's too late Cause the world can't control fate Shadows cast loud and clear Tell the world the new order's here Cities turn to battlefields A deadly spell is cast Corpses falling one by one Until the last The preacher speaks of prophecy So many years before No one escapes the punishment The Gods of war For the past it's too late Cause the world can't control fate Shadows cast loud and clear Tell the world the new order's here Death is like an empty space Feel no thoughts of fear The future cries As mother nature sheds a tear The world becomes a prisoner A victim of its crime The human race is now a race Against time For the past it's too late Cause the world cant control fate Shadows cast loud and clear Tell the world the new order's here @SONG: Trial By Fire 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 A trial by fire Hey! This is what the people say, A new way A trial by fire! Locked in an empty cell Your life becomes a living hell The river of fire flows Time only knows! Trapped by flames of fury ordered unto by the jury Death is their desire Thrown in the fire! Hey! This is what the people say, A new way A trial by fire! Quiver by the fiery light Cringing as your soul ignites The book of law's been thrown away Starting today! The system before the war Is gone for now and ever more There is no sentence higher A trial by fire! Hey! This is what the people say, A new way A trial by fire! @SONG: Into the Pit Deep in the pit and lying alone Where death has reared it's ugly 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 In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams of help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries so here I wander under endless skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams of help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! @SONG: Hypnosis @SONG: Disciples of the Watch Cast into the fire Banned by the light Worship and listen to me Condemned in his mind In his evil place Your fate is all that you'll see I am the one To show you the path Salvation is in the fields Listen up children and follow me Or I'll let you pay the price Of Malachi! Disciples of the watch OBEY! Or I'll burn you to that cross! Holding the mass The demon is cast To resurrect your soul Calling to him Is like an evil sin A prophet is what they're told Taking the land under command Killing friend or foe Feel the might of his evil wrath Desecrate your soul! Disciples of the watch OBEY! Or I'll burn you to that cross! Cast into the fire Banned by the light Worship and listen to me Condemned in his mind In his evil place Your fate is all that you'll see For I am the one To show you the path Salvation is in the fields Listen up children and follow me Or I'll let you pay the price Of Malachi! Disciples of the watch OBEY! Or I'll burn you to that cross! @SONG: The Preacher 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 Is so faint that it's hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war? Peace will have come another day Then came the one In the year of '41 Warfare would light up the sky He beckoned the call Of future for all Blinded by what's in his eyes 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 Is so faint that it's hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach @SONG: Nobody's Fault @SONG: A Day of Reckoning 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 A wrath of misery Left to die alone In their living past As he takes their lives away To never get it back No more need for society All the lives he took The fault of laws and majority Rules in a an open book Leave me alone Don't take it away A place where I know They're destined to take away Now the lives they lead Are left to broken dreams Just when they thought They had it all Life's not what it seems He preaches non-conformity I don't think they see They live for him and what he believes A wrath of misery Leave me alone Don't take it away A place where I know They're destined to take away Don't take away Society There'll come a day You're gonna pay Day by day a day of reckoning You're all gonna pay You can't get away @SONG: Musical Death (A Dirge)
