Testament - The Haunting Lyrics






[BRIDGE:]
Hear the screams,screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold
The meeting for the haunting night

[CHORUS:]
Headless ghosts fill the halls
Shadow plays of grief and pain
Phantom speaks his final note
Tenants of the castle slain
Black cats will appear
As the witching hour nears
Lost souls will all be told
For a haunting we will go

See their dreams come to life
Under pressure holding tight
Feel the cold grabbing hold
To feed you to the haunting night

Evil witch black as pitch
Starts a fire with a flinch
Burning fire rising higher
Making music like a choir

Stay away from the shining light
Can't seem to find the answer there
Bring back the terror in the night
That we all share tonight

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

    best trash metal band ever !!!

    G.... T....

    @derekobs Yeah kinda sucks Chuck lost his high thrashy falsetto screams.

    G.... T....

    @Beer Hound's Beer Reviews! There's difference between personal preference and facts, you cant be the best when you dont record flawless albums and record albums with a select few iconic songs, thats starting from practice onwards which started to had imperfections with souls of black being terribly mediocre and a load of them following being flawed for the most part

    G.... T....

    @derekobsSay what? Um ok man whatever you say.

    G.... T....

    @Beer Hound's Beer Reviews! Yeah man, I love Testament but tbh not all of their output is flawless, you gotta have that distinction to be the best..., anyway whats you fav thrash albums from 1987? mine's got to be The Legacy, Among the Living and Voivod's Killing Tech

  39. c.... ....

    Not really, I download most these days. I bought all my metal albums for extortionate prices years ago on cassette and CD.I'm not buying them again.

  40. g.... ....

    aww look, it's trying to communicate

  41. M.... ....

    Well, if the effects of continuous drug abuse had any effect on their intelligence like it did yours, then perhaps it'd be best if they stayed away because then they'd make incoherent garbage that ranks among the likes of your inane statement.

  42. H.... o....

    so why do (REAL fans) upload to youtube??

  43. A.... ....

    No shit man I hate that.

  44. E.... ....

    Then they should get a job.

    Earn your keep. Don't be a leech....

  45. T.... L....

    T€$T@M€ÑT

    T.... L....

    Ur awesome

  46. L.... G....

    Testament \m/

  47. M.... A....

    @Daemeon93 you support metal going to their show's, buying music just give money to the publishers, not the artists

  48. m.... ....

    @98DESTRUCTION i would say testament destruction slayer and exodus not hatin on megadeth or anythin i just think exodus is a bit "thrashier"

  49. m.... ....

    testament is great

  50. D.... 9....

    @themadthrasher666 Well, stealing is never good. Music piracy is just wrong. The reason I listened to this song on youtube is because I never heard of it until now, and here as where I was able to listen to it (for a trial of the song.) After I realized how BADASS this song is, I bought it. What the person I replied to was sayin was (or what I got out of it) was he was stealing. You should support your band b buying CDs because they worked really hard to make this album. I did

  51. z.... c....

    @Daemeon93 what if you're a fun who's just poor?

  52. s.... ....

    @Daemeon93: What about doing both?
    Truthfully, I download most of my music,(easier for me since I don't get paid often, good for getting into bands before rushing to buy an album, and it gives my phone music) but if I feel the band/musician has deserved the support, I'll buy their albums.

  53. D.... 9....

    @Erie685 That's true, going to concerts and buying T-shirts are very supportive. But he actually has to buy the ALBUMS. That's what TestAmenT specifically made for the fans.

  54. d.... ....

    best metal iv ever heard!

  55. R.... S....

    @Daemeon93 yeah. But when you think about it, that fan is suppoting them more by going to shows and paying for merchandise. buying a song for a dollar off itunes doesnt help the band a whole lot. bands make money these days by selling merch and tickets to shows..

  56. k.... ....

    @Daemeon93 Exactly why I buy anything I enjoy.

  57. k.... ....

    @bananamankiller777 EXACTLY!!! Well put, man!

  58. D.... 9....

    @Erie685 Well, I can't stand people who illegally download music. It's not helping the band nor is it right to do. I didn't mean to sound like a douche, but I just wanted to understand how he could have gone to an awesome concert like that AND buy a T-shirt, but somehow couldn't afford the songs?

  59. R.... S....

    @Daemeon93 Good for you. Its always good to support your artist. But there is a certain way to not sound like a douchebag when talking about it, and you sir, have failed. Bragging about the amount of songs you have bought from iTunes is just a douche thing to do, bought legally or otherwise.

  60. D.... 9....

    @ThisIsEndgame Still, you need to buy their albums. Besides, how did you get the T-shirt and go to concerts if you had no money income? lol. I'm 18 and have NEVER illegally downloaded a song. I now have 800 songs bought legit on iTunes.

  61. c.... ....

    Alex had the best solos in this album

  62. N.... ....

    @RockForce131 I think Eric is more metal guitarist than Alex and he can play acoustic better. He even have his solo project Dragonlord. And Alex is more jazz guitarist than metal, which bring some prog-jazz influence in Formatin of Damnation.Both fuckin great guitarists. Can't fuckin wait to there new album, they said it would have both jazz and black-metal influences(some heavy proggresive shit). SAD I will be in army at that time.

    Hope you understand my fuckin bad English :D.

  63. e.... ....

    Blasting this to get ready for Halloween

  64. e.... 9....

    Black cats will appeaaaarr
    As the witching hour neeeeears

    e.... 9....

    exhorder 93 Slaughter In The Vatican! Legions of Death!

  65. c.... ....

    @RockForce131 It isn't a single member standing out from the rest like other albums of the genre (Reign in blood, kill em all), if any of the tracks weren't there on this album it wouldn't work. Its so great because its collaborate mastery, something hard to pull off.

  66. R.... ....

    Everybody's talks about Alex and his bad ass solos and shit. But the REAL hero in Testament is Eric Peterson. Without his writing and his rhythms for Alex to go off of, I don't think Testament would have been as big. My personal fucking opinion though.

    \m/ TESTAMENT FOR LIFE \m/

  67. A.... ....

    @weipax there's always some good band you forget

  68. V.... ....

    @Metalbrain89 st anger a classis XD? im sorry thats just wrong

  69. H.... ....

    I love their "scary harmony" lol

  70. D.... ....

    @TheMetalclub666 No! Testament should be in the big 4 making it a big 5

  71. T.... ....

    Testament should replace metallica in the big four

    T.... ....

    TheMetalclub666 replace anthrax

    T.... ....

    You are a fucking retard.
    Yeah right lets replace the most successful metal band with a band that doesnt even sell that many albums. How can they be part of "BIG 4" if they are not even a big band?

  72. f.... f....

    @bananamankiller777 you forgot ANNIHILATOR..

  73. S.... ....

    This is my favorite song from Testament and although I've seen them 2 times live they didn't played it!! I'm still waiting...

  74. J.... ....

    Whether you like Testament, New Metallica over old etc, you cannot put into words how absolutely awesome it is that all of these bands have come together to encourage and foster bands like Acrassicauda. Think about this. This is a story you will NEVER see in R&B/Rap. An Iraqi band just wanted to play thrash and they're threatened with death. They eventually flee to America where they find support from our legends and they put out a fucking BRUTAL EP..."Only The Dead...". Find this album, buy it.

  75. M.... ....

    @bobbyfan418 your comment made me lol

  76. b.... ....

    I remember barely having hair on my balls, and listening to testament. Even after 20+ years, they still kick ass.

  77. b.... ....

    fantastic solo

  78. T.... ....

    for me it used to be get one or two songs off an album but now that i listen to speed metal like this i realize you just get the whole album

  79. S.... 3....

    nope nut uh

  80. l.... ....

    @lepreconstellmestuff I hope you are kidding :P
    the "new" metallica kinda sucks (talking about albums past 2000) in my opinion

  81. b.... ....

    @bloodmerc620 Thnx for the suggestions. I'll check 'em out.

  82. b.... ....

    @bloodmerc620 Can you show me some of their best songs?...the ones I listen to only leave me unimpressed. At best.

  83. H.... P....

    Great Band =)

  84. J.... G....

    testament is my favorite band, along with slayer, and manowar

  85. l.... ....

    in this day your lead guitarist had to be a god at playing guitar.

  86. 8.... ....

    It should be the Big 5

  87. d.... ....

    @tbaldownsall1 ya because anyone can say metallica. especially a noob who only has been exposed to metallica in the 90s and worked their way back unlike the metal militia who lived it from at least 1990

  88. D.... 9....

    @metlmulisha Support Metal by buying music. Any REAL fan would buy there albums legally.

  89. P.... ....

    @98DESTRUCTION cannot agree more

  90. 9.... ....

    Slayer Testament Megadeth and Destruction the big four

  91. J.... ....

    @djgeeter yeah man the biggest rip off was fuckin lamb of god taking into the pit in laid to rest

  92. A.... P....

    @lepreconstellmestuff same here, just started listening to them yesterday

  93. b.... ....

    I'm used to the First Strike Still Deadly Version...Never thought it could be faster...
    But seriously, Why aren't these guys in with the big four? (five if they were in) They kick Metallica's ass now that Metallica's sold out. And Anthrax is only ok...

  94. R.... C....

    @arabmoney11221 agreed

  95. H.... J....

    testament WAS one of the best metal bands of their genre, sweet galloping guitar parts good vocals, what more could ya want in good metal? testament was ripped off by SO MANY bands

  96. H.... ....

    @ThrashTillDeath322 They cashed in when they released the Black Album. Master of Puppets is pretty much RTL 2.0. Sayin MOP was selling out is like saying Megadeth sold out when they released Rust in Peace

  97. L.... ....

    @metlmulisha
    but most importantly what is metallica even being discussed on a testament video ?

    oh well at least you didnt mention that beiber guy like you kids post on every thrash metal video for some reason.
