The Haunting (04:17)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
"Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold
The meeting for the haunting night
Headless ghosts fill the halls
Shadow plays off 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

Children of the night
They're howling at black skies
The ruthless calls within
For the haunting now begins!

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!

Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold
The meeting for the haunting night
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!"

Burnt Offerings (05:08)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Summoned to the house of seance
To play the evil tarot cards
To find out what our fate will bring us
Before the war

Approaching now the hour of tiamat
Evil feelings in the air
The chosen wait impatiently
To find the rituals of power
Come out of the fire
Making the legacy known
Takes its toll at last
Now knowing when it strikes

The endless feuding shows its fate
The people are all shocked with fright
They know the end is coming near
It's time to fight
The revolution holds on strong
The armies have all met their match
Entire world up in arms
Destruction sees the spirits of anger
Come up from the gallows
Conjured my demons appear
Summoned to my cast, prey this deadly mass
Takin by the fire you fail

The world became a vast wasteland
Survivors turn to cannibals
Killing everything in sight
Warfare tonight
The armies are all closing in
The populations getting small
Feelings are as cold as ice
Survival names it's price
Starting to burn
The rape and violence grows high
A kingdom will rise
To rule with contempt
They will surprise
Kill and repent
The weakness in armies
"Won't die"

Leaving now the house of seance
Speculating destiny
Wonder if the cards were true
Will wait to find out and will wait to see

First Strike Is Deadly (03:43)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Prisoners of the venom master
Guilty for what you've been charged
Sit in cells condemned to face
The deadly snap of their jaws
Terror stricken you lie and wait
In the final hour
Knowing of your wretched fate
And the serent power!

First Strike Is Deadly

The evil path that you must take
Is filled with the slither of snakes
Their hiding and waiting for the time to lunge
For your flesh and your fate
No one escapes or comes out alive
For the snakes they'll never lose
For if they hit you just one time
You have just faced your doom

First Strike Is Deadly

Deadly strike bred to kill
The venoms howling in your veins
Psychotic spell a gift from hell
The sound of a deadly lead remains

The New Order (04:27)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Takers of humanity, elders paranoid
the time is now
give up this world you once destroyed
society versus the underground
their battles fough and lost
the time has come
to rule the world at any cost

For the past it's to late
cause the world can't control fate
shadows cast loud and clear
tell the world the new order's here

Cities turn to battlefields
a deadly spell is cast
corpses falling one by one
until the last
The preacher speaks of prophecy
so many years before
no one escapes their punishment
the gods of war

For the past it's to late
cause the world can't control fate
shadows cast loud and clear
tell the world the new order's here

Death is like an empty space
feel no thoughts of fear
the future cries
as mother nature sheds a tear
the world becomes a prisoner
a victim of its crime
the human race is now a race
against time

For the past it's to late
cause the world can't control fate
shadows cast loud and clear
tell the world the new order's here

Into the Pit (02:47)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne
We're all the good,the bad
The worst and the best
And where they land is their eternal rest

Foul plays of passion
At twilight's dim
In joy of woe of good and sin
Winds of storm and fates overcast
Darkly my presence is now your past

Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit

So in the sad,silent watches of night
The lonely pathway envisions my sight
Echoes of laughter
And boundless cries
So here I wander under infinite skies

Join the insanity
Or die as you fall
Into the pit
The mass production
And the killing of all
Into the pit
The future screams for help
Are fading away
Into the pit
The world tomorrow
Will it die for today?
Into the pit

Disciples of the Watch (05:07)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Cast to the fire
Banned by the light
Worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind
In his evil place
Your fate is all that you'll see
I am the one
To show you the path
Salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me
Or I'll let you pay
The price of malachi!

Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross

Holding the mass
The demon is cast
To resurrect your soul
Calling to him
Is like an evil sin
A prophet is what they're told
Taking the land under command
Killing friend or foe
Feel the might of his evil wrath
Desecrate your soul

Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross

Cast to the fire
Banned by the light
Worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind
In his evil place
Your fate is all that you'll see
I am the one
To show you the path
Salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me
Or I'll let you pay
The price of malachi!

Disciples of the watch
Obey!
Or I'll burn you to that cross

Practice What You Preach (04:57)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
You think your life's so grand
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make your mind go blank
and then you lose control, then you lose control!

I never was the one, the one to say
the things you say
Never seem to wonder what you say
You think you've got your life completely in control
You've got a lot to learn, the bridge you burned
It's gonna take its toll!!! Pay the burnt bridge toll!!!

So practice what you preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!

You think your life's so grand
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make your mind goes blank
and then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll, then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll, so practice what you preach!

Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!

Greenhouse Effect (04:55)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away
Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe
So the world we know is dying slow in south america
Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground

Time is running low, we can't stay no more
Wealth these people see, fight for eternity
Lies they televise paid by the government
There on! It lingers on
And they don't even care if they...

Seal the planet's fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It's time to take a stand

Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...

Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...

Foes these people go, someone destroyed their home
Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees
Laws protect the land, social justice in demand
Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere
Now it's time to see a cycle of a tragedy
On! It lingers on, and they don't even care if they...

Seal the planet's fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It's time to take a stand

Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...

Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...

Electric Crown (05:30)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Here we go,
the people show,
Victims of tomorrow.
The way it goes,
it never shows,
emptiness or sorrow.
There is nothing left inside,
nothing left to cry for.
So I justify my crimes,
things that I must die for.

So alone,
away it goes.
The life that you have wasted
You never know,
Where it might go.
The sweet success you've tasted
Tasted by a bitter frown,
Knowing I must die for.
Can't confide, to all the lies,
no one to inquire.

As I wander, change of seasons.
As I realize,
that I'll soon be there.

I'll let you know,
the reapers show.
Makes you beg or borrow.
He comes to see,
the tragedy.
His fate he will not follow.
Wearing your electric crown,
the preacher starts to pray.
Shiver as the lights go down,
heed these words I say...

As I wander,
change of seasons.
I can't ponder,
I got my reasons.
As I realize,
I don't care.
All I know is,
that I'll soon be there.

Now it's gone,
the time has come.
The people stand in silence.
Another dawn,
has come and gone.
His fate has been decided.
There is no one left inside,
a brain without a mind.
Traces of a bitter man,
are all that you will find.

As I wander,
change of seasons.
I can't ponder,
I got my reasons.
As I realize,
I don't care.
All I know is:
that I'll soon be there.
That I'll soon be there.
That I'll soon be there.
That I'll soon be there.

So Many Lies (06:05)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
I didn't mean to offend you
But you were way out of line
And I can't help the way I feel
Who sad I feel fine?
I'll only give you one warning
Then you must realize
The day of judgement is closing in
Your selfish ways bring your demise
He who lies
Evil pays
Who are you?

Who made you anyway?
Wrong or right
Who's to say
I wanna know
Who made you God today

Slave to the ways of the system
Soon to be crucified
I've seen into your darkest fears

The ones you cannot hide
I know where you go when
Your fears start showing
You run
You cannot hide
Will they respect you when
You ask of the world
'Forgive me for so many lies'?

Is there a need to pretend
To be a man, so divine
And even if I offended you
My truth you can't deny
I know where you go when
Your fears start showing
You run
You cannot hide
Will they respect you when
You ask of the world
'Forgive me for so many lies'?

The Ritual (07:29)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Say hello again, my friends
I've got to go
The ritual calls to me
Screams twist in harmony

Blinding lights reveal
Thoughts that should not be
The ritual calls to me
Silent insanity

You really thought you'd never
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why can't they see ?

Revelations breaking through
The truth distorts
Untimely accident
Your precious mind is lost

Try to regain again my friend
Your sanity
The ritual calls to me
Melodic agony

You really never thought you would never
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why they can't see ?

Fry away your mind


Walk behind the blind
Kill yourself killing time

Oooh, what'cha gonna do
When your life is sold
To a world so cold ?

Hey, what'cha gonna say
When you're on your way
On your darkest day ?

Hey
Darkest day

Say goodbye again, my friends
I'm coming home
The ritual calls to me
Distant reality

Unseen images expose
What I can't see
The ritual calls to me
Won't ever set me free

You really thought you'd never
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why can't you see ?
Fry away your mind
Walk behind the blind
Kill yourself killing time

Return to Serenity (06:30)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
I'm gonna take you
To a place far from here
No one will see us
Watch the pain as it disappears

No time for anger
No time for despair
Won't you come with me
There's room for us there

This innocent beauty
My words can't describe
This rebirth to purity
Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes

No time for anger
No time for despair
Please let me take you
'Cause I'm already there

I'm so alone
My head's my home
I'll return to serenity

Rhyme without reason
Is why children cry
They see through the system
That's breeding them just so they die

So please let me take you
And I'll show you the truth
Inside my reality
We shared in my youth

I'm so alone
My head's my home
And I feel
So alone
You know
At last
I return to serenity

Now that I've taken you
To a place far from here
I really must go back
Close your eyes and we'll disappear

Won't you come with me
Salvation we'll share
Inside of my head now
There's room for us there

Dog Faced Gods (04:02)
Testament • The Very Best of Testament
Of dog faced gods
Through the Nile sands whisper
Of ancient times, mayfly names
Flickered and gone

The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sand whisper
Ancient times, fade into the dawn

Of dog faced gods
Manifest in the night
The sacred rights
Handed down through times of old

Dark words of power
Blood upon their tombs
Through incantations
Locusts fly, signaling doom

Confirm who I am
Contort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief

Of dog faced gods
Dead civilization
Through priests of power
Invoking life of the ancient one

The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sand whisper
Travel through time to the land unknown

Confirm who I am
Contort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief
