Testament

Testament is an American metal band from Berkeley, California, formed in 1983. They are often credited as one of the most popular bands of the 1980s thrash metal scene. In the 29 years since its inception, Testament has had numerous lineup changes, and guitarist Eric Peterson has been the only constant member, although the band currently also features two of its original members, Alex Skolnick (guitarist) and Greg Christian (bass). Chuck Billy replaced former singer Steve Souza in 1986, prior to the recording of their first studio album, The Legacy, and has been a member of the band since. more »

[Music: Skolnick, Peterson, Clemente]
[Lyrics: Skolnick, Peterson, Billy][4:39]

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
Now I'll never go back there again
Here is where I'll stay

[CHORUS :]
Nobody can hear you scream or shout
Once you're in you won't come out
You will never see the light of day
I'm a hunter you're my prey !

Watching the clash between
The forces below
From up in the planes we're flying
Survivors are taken as prisoners of war
The others are slowly dying
I shiver as we strap on our parachutes
We line up to jump out the door
We're already here and there's no turning back
I fall to scene of the war

[CHORUS :]
Nobody can hear you scream or shout
Once you're in you won't come out
You will never see the light of day
I'm a hunter you're my prey !

[Guitar Solo]

YOU! - You can see me
Flying right over you head
TRY! - Try to stop me
You can't cause your armies are dead
TO CROSS! - To cross blood red
Trenches of the dead below
"DO OR DIE"
Hell's the place you'll go

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
Now I'll never go back there again
Here is where I'll stay

[CHORUS :]
Nobody can hear you scream or shout
Once you're in you won't come out
You will never see the light of day
I'm a hunter you're my prey !
