Testament - The Legacy Lyrics
We're gonna take you back
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy
I could laugh and play
Then the devil took my soul
The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return
Looking at the sky
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same
Turn the pages back in time
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late now
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name

Currently listening to: Testament - The Legacy
A mi me gustan todos las bandas metal y testament es una de ellas y aquí tocaron en Costa Rica.
Whoever disliked it should be beat to a bloody pulp.
Temazoooo quien lo escucha en diciembre 2019?....
Yo siempre
This is one of the best true metal ballads.
Спасибо за балладу ветхий завет
As awesome as these guys were....they have such a horrible studio sound....it sounds like there's too much background noise and it almost seems like a very cloudy white noise effect which kinda cheapens their effort
malupit
Till that day,

FUKKEN LOVE TESTAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't this just brilliant?! I love the faster, heavier, more aggressive stuff but sometimes you need something melodic but powerful and this fills that need for me.
Who Listening
This Masterpiece
In 2019
Testament "Pratice Thrash Real Metal"
Since 1980
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
to many memories with this song!
This was a western
salve brasil brazil
BEST BALLAD EVER!!!
those SOLOs always get me man , so profound & articulate , Love You Alex ma Man
I wanna ask the old school Metalheads in the US who saw them in action. How come Testament while having Awesome Ballads & Thrash tunes, a record label, video clips & tours , never got the same hype & recognition as the others , i'm seriously asking because theres no logical answer , i'm a 32 yo Egyptian who discovered Testament by pure chance & only bec. i was looking at other metal videos , but what a find it was , Testament are pure Magic specially this Masterpiece
Edit : I feel the same thing happened with Savatage as well who are my all time Favs
Flashes of the dead 2019!!! Still the epitome of metal
There’s so much emotion on this music that I can’t even express in words! ..Not even can’t explain ... but all of us know what Im taking when heard this song (what I mean)!!! Amazing song, amazing sintonía ❤️🤟🏻
mi pare che sei italiana ? i knew when you said amazing sintonia :D
Love this song.
Hearing it again after all these years, hauntingly beautiful. Damn, they dont make music like this anymore. The most memorable part of Testament to me will be Peterson's plucking, iconic.
Early high school years for me I think... awesome
Chi mghribi ichof l comment diali
Inpecable!!
Who here in September 2019? Love this 😈
october 2019
261 people were souls of black.
Souls of Black is in my ❤ i love Testament priceless Band
BACH// BEETHOVEN// TESTAMENT//
Used to listen to this for hours..
I love the long intro, They dont do it like that anymore.. Why? Is everything now a thing of the past? Just think that music is a true emotion.. I cant help to feel that my youth is over and Death is near and i dont want to die...
This song brings back a very weirdly specific memory...
The year is 2008, I am 6 years old. It's 11 at night and my dad is driving me home from my aunt's house. I'm sitting in the back seat of his car, looking out the window thinking about god knows what, as he plays this song. Life was good.
My first listen to this track. My reaction is,
Recipe for one Testament:
Combine 1 Megadeth and 2 Iron Maiden
Bring to a boil
Add Metallica as preferred
Serve hot
In this track you can clearly hear Alex Scholnick's writing style which was more of the Blues/ slow metaphoric type of writings. You can also hear it on the Ballad track on Practice what you Preach CD and Return to Serenity on the Ritual CD. Now what about when the song speeds up and goes full force at 100mph. That's Eric Peterson playing cause that was his style of writing songs for Testament. Hard, fast pace and exceptionally loud. These writings can be heard in tracks like Faces in the Sky, Souls of Black, Absence of Light and Malpractice on the Souls CD. Why did Alex split on the Next album ?? Him and Eric were having problems with creative differences when it came to writing styles and how to write songs the right way where both styles could be heard but Eric was hell bent on keeping his way of writings being the style that Testament went in so Alex packed his crap, left the band and did not return until after Formation of Damnation was released.
THANKS DUDE// I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT MONEY!
puts 💛
My dad showed me this album before he passed away, best gift he could've ever given me
Legal 😈
ALEX SKOLNICK( MOST UNDERATED GUITARIST IN ALL GENRES******ADD MIKE DAVIS OF NOCTURNUS TO THE UNDERATED LIST OF GUITARISTS!!!!
I honestly think testament should be in big4, instead of anthrax. Of maybe we can make big 5.
Souls of Black = Illuminati, FreeMasons, Satanic sellouts ?
I ignored this band ...what a fool i was ...
Used to jam this in my 87 IROC Z ..
This was our class song, 1992
Questa canzone si fonde con la mia malinconia e la mia rabbia
Idem per me
I could Dream along while Listening to this Masterpiece, While Visioning the world's most Beautiful Forest with Waterfall and the Moonglow beaming down on me from the Sky!!
Very Atmospheric!!
Pure art
I remember the day when I saw them in Denver they where very loud and heavy I really appreciate what they d and shit thanks for everyone out there keep up the good
THE LEGACY IS HEARTFELT*****
Skolnick is the best Satriani's disciple... No question about it... at least for me.
The man is full filled of talent, skill, and good taste for music.
I put skolnick up with the greats of Jake E Lee Randy Rhoads George lynch and Dave Murray and Adrian Smith
Skolnick just killing it
THE LEGACY\,,,/
So slow ballad very soft and heavy many times so.rule
Bela música !🇧🇷
So the song “the legacy” isn’t on the album of the same name?
Psycho Metal Kid no, is on this one SOULS OF BLACK.
Wtf it's not. Heavy metal but i liked
We're gonna take you back
Through the pages of the past
Just another lonely boy
I could laugh and play
And live in any other way
Then the devil took my soul
The fortune and the fame
I knew I was not the same
And I know I'd never return
Looking at the sky
I knew I would never die
And forever shining through
Wish the sky would say
That blue would turn to grey
And I know I'd be there
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one stays the same
Turn the pages back in time
Through the chapters in my mind
Life's too short to leave behind
It's too late now
Life was like a fantasy
Taken by reality
Does anyone remember me
You once knew me
Flashes of the day
I knew I was here to stay
But no one
Knows my name
Best ballad ever made.
Loved their slow songs. They would just come out of no where on their records
So i guess I've commented already. Just dont recall.
Somehow i ended up back here again.
And the music still kicks ass.
This song is one of Testament's most underrated gems. Perhaps my favorite metal ballad ever written, sang & composed. Testament was and still is one of the best bands to ever exist. Thank you for creating this song that I have so horribly sang & butchered countless of times.
Between spring wind and thunderstorm. I like this so much!
One of the best stoner songs ever!
Look at the lost souls,they seem so black
Omg !!! That is waht i can call the music
2019 this shit still jams. I've probably listen to this song 20 times today. Old school metal all day
One of my favorite songs
Beautiful and eternal song. Vocals and guitar 🤘❤
Legacy
The ballad
Return to serenity
I have to listen these songs before i get started with my day, have to.😎👍
Absolutely
Man this album is killer from start to finish. Definitely my favourite by them. No idea what the hell happened with The Ritual...
Best intro to a metal song...
Putain de solo de guitare. Une tuerie auditive!
one of my favourite songs, i love that lead guitar.
Real metal
Ur metal, never joined illuminati
