Down For Life Lyrics - The Gathering - Testament

When I see my brother 

What I see is like no other 

What we had forever lost 

Can't deny our friendship 

Feeling like it's time to end this 

Bad relation ripped apart 

When we're young 

And disaranged 

We didn't know it 

Any other way 

Now were grown 

He's still the same 

People see him suffering 

I am not about to run away 

Turn my back to him 

In his darkest hour 

Give him will to fight 

Antagonize his thoughts 

See him thew his thoughest times 

Purify his weakened heart 

All the friends 

We feel the same 

The way it was 

Back in the day 

The more we change 

He stays the same 

Will we ever see our friend again 

I... feel that... 

I can't protect myfriend from himself 

All I've got 

Are these lessons learned in life 

The lessons I've been taught 

They still remain 

Inside me thoughts 

Even as we speak 

As troubled as it seems 

He'll always be a friend of mind 

That's the way it was 

And always will be 

When we're young 

And disaranged 

We didn't know it 

Any other way 

Now were grown 

He's still the same 

People see him suffering 

I... feel... 

I cannot help my friend 

Help him self 

You... can't hear what I say 

Never going away... 

Still friends down for life... 

Can you still fight... 

All I've got 

Are these lessons learned in life 

The lessons I've been taught 

They still remain 

Inside me thoughts 

Even as we speak 

As troubled as it seems 

He'll always be a friend of mind 

That's the way it was 

And always will be 

Now in the end 

It plain to see 

What kind of friend 

He has been for me 

All along he could never see 

Who he was 

And always be 

I... feel... 

I cannot help my friend 

Help him self
