Testament  -  The  Ballad    (LP  Version)

No  I'm  not  one  to  say

  Where  my  feelings  are  going  when  they  wither  away

  I  pray  to  see  another  day

  

My  heart's  feeling  like  a  needle  lost  in  the  hay

  Restrained  to  meet  again

  My  friend  do  you  think  that  we  ever  will?  I  know  we  are  free

  

The  games  are  played  with  your  life  on  the  line

  Some  lose,  you  win  if  you  keep  on  trying

  I  don't  mind  doing  the  time,  I'm  happier  being  alive

  

Now  I  know  the  means  to  my  oppression  are  all  lies

  The  only  truth  is  your  own  most  sacred  lesson  I'd  ever  learned

  I  know  we  are  free

  

Yeah

  Don't  go  no

  No  don't  go  back,  just  realize

  

I've  been  robbed,  I've  been  fooled

  I  intend  now  to  make  my  own  rules

  Dagger's  edge  cut  the  line,  I've  been  down  that  road

  Too  many  times

  

What's  to  fear,  fear  no  more

  Show  my  conscience  what  fear's  for

  Now  I  know  this  is  so  real

  What's  done  is  done  so  do  as  you  will

  

I'm  keeping  alive

  Go  on,  no  don't  look  back

  Just  realize  where  you've  gone

  

Where  are  you  going  to?

  No  life's  not  done  with  you

  You've  only  just  begun,  to  live  your  life  for  you
