Testament - Shades Of War Lyrics






Burial of a human being
A man before a boy
Born to fight in another man's world
Not a world where there's a war

Born relihiously
Truth is what they see
Death won't come form peace
Who fuels this war?

Sacred ground of life
Burnt remains of the dead
Bodies lay to rest
Spirits of the earth

Rancid man, burned alive
Too blind to see what's wrong from right
Locked inside this cage
So many times blood has poured
Walk with shadows
Hear the shades of war... forever more

Brought into this world of bitter pain
Are we safe... or just insane

Rancid man, burned alive
Too blind to see what's wrong from right
Darkness veils their way
So many times blood has poured
Walk with shadows
Hear the shades of war... forever more

    Beautiful summation of the YT 99%. Your satire is appreciated :)

  29. k.... ....

    Testament is a killer band. Initial albums sucked in the production department.

    k.... ....

    kashsoldier first albums are bests, this is only great, "new beginning", some songs are better than the others, these death metal songs pretty much sucked in this, clean voice songs are bests in this! The Legacy is best thrash metal albums ever in a whole metal history.

    k.... ....

    @King Diamond The Legacy isnt even in a top 10 best list but its Testament's best for sure

  30. C.... V....

    This has to be some alternative tuning, maybe dropp C?

  31. P.... N....

    @fishguru73
    Damn straight.

  32. K.... C....

    this was the first live band I ever saw, they were supporting Anthrax back in '86, the doors opened and there before me was the first metal live act I'd ever seen. I almost shat my teenage pants and haven't looked back since.

  33. J.... N....

    My fave tune off of Low

  34. p.... ....

    They need to do this song "live" sometimes. It's one of my favorites out of all their albums!

  35. B.... P....

    @tbaldownsall1 However, note that you have the highest rated comment, because it has sense. From what I've seen, this is only possible under a METAL video, other genres of music have some shitty top rated comments like "3 people who disliked this song eat shit" or whatever. That must mean metalheads are simply most intelligent ;D People you mentioned are just psychically not grown up enough to this music, best to ignore them.

  36. p.... ....

    James Murphy is just as great as a guitar player as Alex Skolnick is! Too bad he didn't perform on the Demonic. He still shreds as a guitar player! Glad he got cured of the cancer he had at, ironically, about the same time Chuck Billy was ailing with cancer.

    p.... ....

    purseonal2010 James Murphy and John Tempesta actually did best job in this album! i bet this could be suck album without them but only this death metal voice is some bad in this, but growls are greats.

    p.... ....

    Demonic sucks ass though

  37. J.... L....

    hahaha the 5th rule was the funniest

  38. J.... T....

    parents of the Earth

  39. K.... H....

    Ok..now I'm REALLY gonna need a neckbrace..

  40. l.... ....

    @turaly0n sorry but when I wrote this I don't know metallica very well but now I love them !

  41. e.... ....

    @leoperrin28 no Metallica?

  42. B.... M....

    @fishguru73 not really ignored. Just wayyyy too far ahead of their time. They were a badass epic melt your face off band.

  43. l.... ....

    slayer, sodom, testament, kreator My big 4 ! but destruction, exodus , megadeth are good

    l.... ....

    What about Overkill??

    l.... ....

    @david bennett They suck dead rats ass

  44. e.... ....

    the greatest band that never made it big

  45. M.... G....

    they deserve to be in the big 5 Testament rules!

  46. i.... ....

    Sounds like the Struggle Within by Metallica... so what! still kick-ass

  47. f.... ....

    Another great band ignored by the music industry except for when they notice people like it, despite what we're told to listen to. Then they beg to lick their nuts for a video. Testament has always been a great band and they are still making awesome music to this day.

  48. C.... ....

    Awesome. Hear the shades of war...FOREVERMORE!!!!! Hail Testament.
