Testify

RAGE
FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE MIND
UNCHAINED OR CONFINED  
SHOULD WE HEED ITS FINAL CALL

OR LEAVE THE TEMPEST BEHIND 
AND RETURN TO MANKIND
WHEN THE LAST DECEPTIONS FALL

GIVING INTO THIS FIRE 
AS IT LEADS US TO THE PYRE
AND WE PLEAD TEN THOUSAND TIMES

TO DENY ITS DARK CONTROL
IN TRIBUNALS OF THE SOUL
FOR OUR VAST UNSPOKEN CRIMES

AND THE ANGER WE BURN
IS A BRIDGE OF NO RETURN

RAGE 
WHEN IT FRACTURES THE SKY
WILL YOU COMPLY
WILL YOU TESTIFY

RAGE
BE THE VENGEANCE WE PRIZE
UPON THE LAST WHO REMAIN
OF A VIOLENT DOMAIN
IN THE END TIME OF THE AGE

RAGE
ITS PASSION FUELED OUR FIGHT
WHEN OUR FURY SCORCHED THE NIGHT 
BUT ONLY PEACE IN SUNRISE

IN THE FIELDS WHERE WE PRAY
WITH OUR WEAPONS CAST AWAY
DO WE BREATHE OUR LAST GOODBYES
 
TO THE VICTORY FORETOLD
IN THE HUSH OF CANNONS COLD
ON THIS FINAL HILL WE CLIMB 

AS THE ECHO LAST DECAYS 
WILL OUR SILENCE FILL THE DAYS
IN THIS PLACE OUTSIDE OF TIME

OR WILL THE WEARIEST OF WAR
FEED THE ANGER ONCE MORE

RAGE  
WHEN IT FRACTURES THE SKY
WILL YOU COMPLY
WILL YOU TESTIFY

RAGE 
BE THE VENGEANCE WE PRIZE
UPON THE LAST WHO REMAIN
OF A VIOLENT DOMAIN
IN THE END TIME OF THE AGE
