Shades Of War

Testament · Low [1994]

Burial of a human being

A man before a boy

Born to fight in another man's world

Not a world where there's war



Born religiously

Truth is what they see

Death won't come from peace

Who fuels this war?



Sacred ground of life

Burnt remains of the dead

Bodies lay to rest

Spirits of the earth



Rancid man, burned alive

Too blind to see what's wrong from right, locked inside this cage

So many times blood has poured, walk with shadows

Hear the shades of war forever more



Brought into this world of bitter pain

Are we safe or just insane



Rancid man, burned alive

Too blind to see what's wrong from right, darkness veils their way

So many times blood has poured, walk with shadows

Hear the shades of war forever more



Buried in your sleep

[Incomprehensible]

[Incomprehensible]

[Incomprehensible]



[Incomprehensible]

[Incomprehensible]

Death won't come from peace

Who fuels this war?
