The Preacher Lyrics - First Strike, Still Deadly - Testament

In days of old 

When the books were untold 

Speak of a world crushed by sin. 

"The people will mourn 

of a war to be born" 

Nobody would listen to him. 

Think back in time 

When the future you find 

Is so faint that it's too hard to see. 

Don't disavow his word 

For the truth must be heard 

Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. 

In 1906 

Like the future predicts 

The city will crumble to the bay 

Then what's in store 

When the worlds go to war? 

Peace will have come another day 

Then came the one 

In the year of '41 

Warfare would light up the sky 

He beckoned the call 

Of the future for all 

Blinded by what's in his eyes 

In days of old 

When the books were untold 

Speak of a world crushed by sin. 

"The people will mourn 

of a war to be born" 

Nobody would listen to him. 

Think back in time 

When the future you find 

Is so faint that it's too hard to see. 

Don't disavow his word 

For the truth must be heard 

Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. 

Listen to these words I preach 

Catastrophic lessons they shall teach
