Eerie Inhabitants
Testament · Live At The Fillmore [1995]
A world of anger and corruption
When all is lost and millions starve
Is this humanity's destruction?
Life, a game that people play
Cry out, will they see another day?
No one to help us, the children pray
Nobody listens to their crying
This great depression, when will it end?
To live like this is worse than dying
Life, a game that people play
Cry out, will they see another day?
Your destiny is over, your fate has declined
Refuse to discover what so many could find
Death's endless toil as I long for rest
Life's now forsaken, condemned to repress
No sign of heaven, no sign of hell
Just the sign of pain and sorrow
This generation inhabits all
To form an order for tomorrow
Life, a game that people play
Cry out, will we see another day?
Oh
