Together As One
Testament · Demonic [1997]
I was born into a womb so insane
Over crowded as we share the same veins
You will not be...
More man than me...
I... will not be the other...
I am the one... the chosen son
Who devours and smothers
Violence is not the way...
What am I anyway...
Implantation as they ripped us apart
Joined together cause we share the same heart
You will not be...
More man than me...
You... will not be the other...
I am the one... the chosen son
Who devoured his brother...
Hurt... help... hell...
And now you will see... that we will be
Always... together as one
Always together as... one
Will not be half a man
We're joined together as... one
The dominant son, who was joined as one
Always wonders why
The unborn son, who lives inside his head
Can never die
Violence is not the way...
Damaging vows I take...
The one who was built of rage
Bow down before I
Prayed forgiveness
From the father above
Joined together
But not bonded by love
I will not be...
More man than he...
We... will not have each other...
I am the one... the burden son
Who devoured his brother...
Hurt... help... hell...
And now you will see... that we will be
Always... together as one
Always... together as one
Will not be half a man...
We're joined together as... one...
Over crowded as we share the same veins
You will not be...
More man than me...
I... will not be the other...
I am the one... the chosen son
Who devours and smothers
Violence is not the way...
What am I anyway...
Implantation as they ripped us apart
Joined together cause we share the same heart
You will not be...
More man than me...
You... will not be the other...
I am the one... the chosen son
Who devoured his brother...
Hurt... help... hell...
And now you will see... that we will be
Always... together as one
Always together as... one
Will not be half a man
We're joined together as... one
The dominant son, who was joined as one
Always wonders why
The unborn son, who lives inside his head
Can never die
Violence is not the way...
Damaging vows I take...
The one who was built of rage
Bow down before I
Prayed forgiveness
From the father above
Joined together
But not bonded by love
I will not be...
More man than he...
We... will not have each other...
I am the one... the burden son
Who devoured his brother...
Hurt... help... hell...
And now you will see... that we will be
Always... together as one
Always... together as one
Will not be half a man...
We're joined together as... one...
