Testament - Return to Serenity
“No time for anger,
No time for despair.
Won’t you come with me,
‘cause I’m already there.”
Wolf
Innocence tainted by pure lunacy
Cursed by the slash of a shape-shifting beast
Oh no, this can’t be
Demonic infection, a doomed changeling
His future concealed as he begs to be told
A kiss from the gypsy, he’ll never grow old
Oh no, this can’t be
Demonic infection, a doomed changeling
He who is bitten by a wolf and lives
Possession soon follows, no use to resist
Oh no, this can’t be
Cursed by the moonlight, a doomed changeling
The madness a turmoil that swells up inside
To truly find peace is to truly die
Oh no, this can’t be
Cursed by the moonlight, a doomed changeling
Now comes the rampage, a killing spree
Hunting his loved ones comes instinctively
Oh no, it’s maddening
A shape-shifting demon of pure lunacy
A shot from the darkness tears through its flesh
A bullet of silver lays it to rest
Oh no, it’s maddening
An innocent victim finds his peace.
The story of a bard who was banished, and comes back to his beloved
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
No joy would flicker in her eyes
Brooding sadness came to a rise
Words would falter to atone
Failure had passed the stepping stone
She sworn her vows to another
This is when no-one will bother
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
A harlot of God upon the earth
Found where she sacrificed her ways
That hollow love in her face
Still I plotted to have her back
The contentment that would fill the crack
My soul released a fluttering sigh
This day fell, the darkness nigh
I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made but my heart is thine
My favorite guitarist of all time
