TESTAMENT

Its a prehistoric warning Its a dream too dark to hold Its the only bedtime story That can make the young grow old Speculation clouds its ending Hieroglyphics trace its start A boy cant chase a windmill If a bomb blows it apart Testament Hollow voices tell us how the game is won Testament Toast the good life from the barrel of a gun Testament Search for choices till theres no more to invent The childs mind thats left behind Becomes our testament Got a message you should party Got a message you will die Got a message that youre nothing Till youre in the public eye Scramble for your fifteen minutes See how far your psyches bent Between a thumbprint on the blotter And a footprint in cement Testament Hollow voices tell us how the game is won Testament Toast the good life from the barrel of a gun Testament Search for choices till theres no more to invent The childs mind thats left behind Becomes our testament

Its an ancient incantation Its the smoke on distant skies Its a message of survival That can cut through all the lies Its the kingdom youll inherit Its the kingdom we were lent And every dream that falls between Becomes our testament Testament Hollow voices tell us how the game is won Testament Toast the good life from the barrel of a gun Testament Search for choices till theres no more to invent The childs mind thats left behind Becomes our testament
