Testament - D.N.R. Lyrics






Lies... broken dreams
Dismal past
is there more in life...
should I... know
Ending wars... ending pain
Ending of mankind is insane
and there's all the possibilities
some will fail and some will achieve
Even through in my youth
I didn't know but what can I do
and I may not ever see
In my pain, my suffering
Can not live for the rest of my life
DNR Do not resuscitate me...

Life... lost unseen
behind the mask
and with the open arms will I grasp
Open doors... open minds...
Ending all the madness I hate

And I may not ever see
In my pain, my Misery
Can not live for the rest of my life
DNR Do not resuscitate me... DNR...

Wing of sadness... will
hold my prayers
all this madness... will
end my fears
contempt in life
Conceptualize, wrong or right
The ending of life...
God save me now...

Time... end it now
No going back
Can you see the light as you pass
Ending wars, ending pain...
Waited all my life to be saves

And I will not ever see
All the pain and suffering
Can not live for the rest of my life
DNR Do not resuscitate me... DNR

    I gotta say it swells my heart with pride to read these comments here. I'm hitting 50 years old in a few months and I grew up listening to this stuff. Glad to see many metalheads both young and old are still holding the fort down.

    I think we all agree that anthrax shouldn't be part of the big 4. Testament should.

    N.... B....

    In my opinion Metallica should not be in Big 4 they never released a pure thrash metal album after And Justice For All

  34. �.... �....

    Fucking awesome

  35. A.... T....

    amazing

  36. a.... f....

    Awesome metal 🤘🎸💀☠️🤘

  37. C.... C....

    I don’t know how I didn’t know is was Dave Lombardo but I never really felt slayer that much. But this is a great record. Many Thrash Legends have Moved around the OG Bands Paul bostaph is a fav helping slayer now like Gary holt, and exodus shovel headed kill Machine is a Lit Bostaph record 44 Magnum Opus is insanely dope. Tom hunting fav but only exodus for him. Gene hogland has some nice testament feel but unique. Mike Mangini has dope annihilator Jams but Jeff waters gets pretty’s much a New but Talented drummer ever record. Anup sastry is a dope drummer but have to be if u tour with Jeff loomis, sawLive, and Marty Friedman. Lastly I’ll mention Pete weber but me and havok we raised in COLORAD-YO. MileHighHat Blazing Dank Denver Nuggets and green rains supreme to Me over Gold. They need to add a blunt to the pick ax dude and add a little haze to the mountain seen. Make it lite purple. And Carlos from Bonded By Blood has some Great albums with feed the beast and exiles to earth. Exiled was most technical, Fast, and Shred fest on all levels and Aladdin’s vocals were the shit. Bunch haters lead to the demise of BBB... best New Wave Band there was and smashed live and blazed with them in the van. Cool down to earth maybe exiled there but me and Carlos favorite were both Tom hunting cuz it’s Fucking Tom Hunting

  38. D.... M....

    Fucking BRUTAL tune!!
    LOVE IT!!! \M/

  39. I.... D....

    One of my favourite Testament songs

  40. M.... o....

    Lombardo The Engine.

  41. R.... A....

  42. B.... O....

    C du lourd

  43. D.... ....

    Megaflott

  44. j.... t....

    One of the best

  45. J.... W....

    Lombardo playing a blast?!?!?!?! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD

    J.... W....

    He also plays a couple of blasts on Supremist on Christ Illusion.

  46. A.... S....

    Missing a kickass Skolnick solo after 3:33

    A.... S....

    Skolnick isn't even on this album. Its Peterson and James Murphy

  47. A.... C....

    I remember that The Gathering was on Spotify, now it's not there :(

    A.... C....

    Arnulfo Castillo Is back my man!!

  48. R.... B....

    My father used to drum for these guys way back when i was a kid. His name was Alex Joe Cabrera. Marty if your reading this lemme know.

  49. T.... K....

    GOD SAVE ME NOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!! Fuckin brilliant

  50. K.... P....

    Concerning to me...the most powerful metal song ever.

  51. j.... M....

    Dave Lombardo : plays drums like a belt fed Horsewhip ....INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

  52. k.... t....

    Lombardo makes everything he plays on sound better

  53. N.... G....

    Owned this album since it came out, never gets old..So much fucking energy

  54. S.... S....

    かっこいい!

  55. Z.... S....

    Dave fucking Lombardo

  56. C.... H....

    This is the BEST Testament song of the post Ritual era! Absolute GEM! Fucking cannot wait to see TESTAMENT/Sepultura in Detroit TONIGHT!!!!

  57. f.... ....

    the comments in these threads are always the same "this is not the absolute best sound that I has ever graced my ears"

    this is good shit, deal with itttttt

  58. A.... A....

    the album that brought Testament back into thrash metal legend form . souls of black was the worse.

  59. W.... ....

    It's times like this that I wish my system audio had a higher maximum volume.

  60. B.... Z....

    Im Here for the viking dancer LOL.

  61. X.... T....

    DAVE FUCKING LOMBARDO

  62. a.... f....

    excellent Metal \m/!!

  63. T.... W....

    This entire album is shit, but I still like it...

    T.... W....

    BLACKMETALWILL What

    T.... W....

    Pepper this album, it's terrible by testaments standards and barely has any guitar solos, but it is still listenable

    T.... W....

    I understand your disappointment regarding the lack of solos, but come on dude.. The drumming, the riffs, Chucks voice - all in all, it's ridiculously good, precise, technically phenomenal and pleasing, for sure.. Heavy metal is not all about solos, it can survive without it from time to time.

  64. J.... V....

    ppl talked shit about the groove of Low and the death metal of Demonic so Testament threw both styles together and made The Gathering which is a fucking masterpiece.

    J.... V....

    Low is a masterpiece too.

    J.... V....

    How do people all say demonic was a death metal record? They're virtually all slow groove songs. A lot downtuned (to fit in with the Korn lot) but nothing death metal per se. To be death metal it goes by BPM.

  65. T.... W....

    Lies... broken dreams
    Dismal past
    is there more in life...
    should I... know
    Ending wars... ending pain
    Ending of mankind is insane
    and there's all the possibilities

    Even through in my youth

    and I may not ever see

    Open doors... open minds...
    Ending all the madness I hate

    And I may not ever see

    Wing of sadness... will

    all this madness... will
    end my fears

    BLACKMETALWILL thanks

    T.... W....

    THE WRATHCHILD thanks for liriks post

  66. m.... t....

    Best of times.

  67. D.... ....

    E A R G A SM
    THIS IS F@CKING METAL
    \\M//

  68. f.... v....

    the best testament album this both in songs and sound

    f.... v....

    The worst? What hahaha

    f.... v....

    the worst album is by far demonic

    f.... v....

    metallica sucks

    f.... v....

    no metallica really does suck....hipster has nothing to do with it. Name calling is a direct reflection of one's lack of intelligence.....

    f.... v....

    and you just proved my point...name calling is the go-to for gutless fucks who sit on youtube talking shit cuz they dont have the intellectual capacity to form a valid argument....

  69. D.... W....

    It's becoming a staple song

  70. O.... M....

    wow, this is the first Testament song i've heard. What else have i been missing out on?...

    O.... M....

    Eye love you sollostyles :- )

    O.... M....

    Omat, Start with Practice What you Preach and The New Order as your first 2 Testament albums, like me back in the 80's :-)

  71. D.... ....

    I bet Dave Lombardo could win a NASCAR race pedaling a bicycle.

    D.... ....

    with his dick XD

    D.... ....

    The bicycle can survive until the end of that race is yet to be invented.

    D.... ....

    :-) :-) :-)

    D.... ....

    Hes no Paul Bostaph

    D.... ....

    Did he drum on the whole album?

  72. D.... n....

    I cant think of a Slayer song that Dave drummed this good on. To bad he didn't stay with Testament

    D.... n....

    He should've joined Demolition Hammer when he had the chance.

    D.... n....

    Dead Skin Mask has nothing to do with this one....War Ensemble yes

    D.... n....

    Praise of death.. he slays it on that song

    D.... n....

    @Droogie128 no

    D.... n....

    At dawn they sleep?

  73. W.... B....

    This is the way it outta be !!!!!!!!

  74. M.... I....

    i love the music, but the artwork is a complete shit imo

  75. f.... ....

    this song just kicked my ass

  76. T.... C....

    I just love this tune and this album! And when I found out that Dave Lombardo is the man behind the drums on on this album I just surrender!

    T.... C....

    He does add that extra KICK 😉🤘

  77. c.... ....

    This song is so heavy live

  78. G.... A....

    severo masmelo

  79. J.... B....

    Thrash Metal as is it!!!

    J.... B....

    +Jordi Boada Martinez hi

  80. R.... L....

    *GOD SAVE ME NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!*

    R.... L....

    +Renegade Loco hi

    R.... L....

    its "god send me down" -.-

    R.... L....

    Aetred official lyrics doesn't say that

    R.... L....

    @Aetred I have the cd booklet and its god save me now

  81. A.... F....

    excellent metal \m/

  82. F.... T....

    this record signed the return of the METAL, after the '90 which tried to kill the metal.

    F.... T....

    Metal will never die :- )

  83. M.... K....

    I get a huge boner on when I hear this intro. \m/ \m/ \m/

  84. b.... s....

    i think i should really start listening to them :3

    b.... s....

    bartek sitko Practice what you preach is a HALLMARK record... many Testament records are great, The New Order comes to mind... as does the LEGACY for sure... but Practice what you Preach is OUT FUCKING STANDING

    b.... s....

    bartek sitko if you like this, check out Low. Good shit.

    b.... s....

    actually got to see them live in dublin 3 days ago

    b.... s....

    @Cody Hawk Practice and souls are their wprst of 80s recsthe worst

  85. S.... K....

    I fucked a viking to this song \(-_-)/

    S.... K....

    +mouni klameno haha :D

    S.... K....

    No a viking fucked YOU

    S.... K....

    yea but you don't really look like a viking,more like a rap listener

    S.... K....

    I'm betting he's not going around bragging about it, though.

    S.... K....

    nice phase kiddo

  86. E.... C....

    yea didn't lars ulrich record the drums on this album

    E.... C....

    no dave lombardo

    E.... C....

    +Joe Theriault I believe it was an attempt at a joke.

    E.... C....

    how many Lars are needed to play the drums of this song?

    E.... C....

    One. Play the song with one kick drum, and punch in the second kick drum on ProTools later.

  87. K.... P....

    damn, you could get whiplash from listening to this

  88. e.... ....

    Can't believe it was 16 years ago, way better of the modern "metal"!!!

    e.... ....

    @elaith80 Yeah, it is.

    e.... ....

    Vektor is quite dope

    e.... ....

    There are some great modern metal bands, such as Havok, Violator, Nervosa, Municipal Waste, Evile, and so on.

    e.... ....

    elaith80 new thrash is still great

    e.... ....

    New thrash metal is good but all this new metalcore stuff with the guitars downtuned to drop A and constant switching between growls and pop vocals just doesn't compare to old school thrash 🤘

  89. m.... ....

    All those years i was missing this song... Fuck

    m.... ....

    +mansoldworld To quote Morpheus........welcome....to the real world.

  90. J.... B....

    This song isn't too hard on guitar, all rhythm, but man is it fast!!!

    J.... B....

    Equivocating Toaster im scared even to try to attempt to play :)

    J.... B....

    The fact that it is rhythm is what makes it hard. Learning the chords and the licks: easy peezy lemon squeezy. Getting the right hand patterns down and playing them beat by beat: How de the fuck does Eric Peterson do this?! Is his right hand made of an adamantium alloy of some sort?!

  91. w.... ....

    i am absolutely hooked on the chorus of this song.  fucking badass.

  92. P.... D....

    drums,drums,drums.............hell yeah,thumbs up for Dave!!!!!!!!! :D

    P.... D....

    +Pora Diana The "Dave" are the Best ^^

    P.... D....

    indeed.

    P.... D....

    Hail Lombardo DNR!!!

    P.... D....

    @Christ RattleHead I whish he could have spent more time with this band

  93. C.... W....

    God send me down

    C.... W....

    +Mexcatl Guerrero hi

    C.... W....

    Mexcatl Guerrero God save me now*

  94. s.... ....

    lombardo increased the power of this album 100-fold

  95. N.... B....

    Yes to DNR, and No to NARCAN! No more needles!
