Absense Of Light Lyrics - 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 

That 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 

Realize what we've thrown away 

Is there no end 

To this endless war 

The fear of man 

In now what's in store. 

We look at life as a memory 

Long live the dreams 

That they took from me. 

If it were my way 

I'd deliver us from this hell 

If it were my way.
