Absence Of Light Lyrics - Souls Of Black - Testament

Life, as we know 

Is full of gloom 

Oppress the masses 

We'll lead to our doom 

We want the right 

To live or die 

Can't take away 

What we feel inside 

Like empty shadows 

Afflict our brains 

Envision dreams 

Just to ease the pain 

There's more to life 

Than to satisfy 

I ask myself 

For the reason why 

If it were my way 

I'd deliver us from this hell 

If it were my way 

If ever there comes a day 

Renovations blown away 

Is there no end 

To this endless war 

The fear of man 

Is now what's in store 

We look at life as a memory 

Long live the dreams 

That they took from me
