First Strike Is Deadly Lyrics - The Very Best Of Testament - Testament

Prisoners of the venom master 

Guilty for what you've been charged 

Sit in cells condemned to face 

The deadly snap of their jaws 

Terror stricken you lie and wait 

In the final hour 

Knowing of your wretched fate 

And the serent power 

First strike is deadly 

The evil path that you must take 

Is filled with the slither of snakes 

Their hiding and waiting for the time to lunge 

For your flesh and your fate 

No one escapes or comes out alive 

For the snakes they'll never lose 

For if they hit you just one time 

You have just faced your doom 

First strike is deadly 

Deadly strike bred to kill 

The venoms howling in your veins 

Psychotic spell a gift from hell 

The sound of a deadly lead remains
