Testament

                                  Walking through the garden

Through the garden of temptation

Tempestuous in youth 

Seek the testament of truth



An angst that bears no sobs or self-pitied cries

He cherishes his one daily job with pride

The job to stay alive



Quest for reasons in empty hearts

Death the adventure when life's the bore

But in the face of defeat a lion roars



Statutes stand like statues

Laws stagnant in value

For the rulers of the ruled

The fools and the fooled



But should your carcass rot in a gutter

While your ideals go to heaven

When rebellion's the cause

Like a Spartacus it's yours today

And tomorrow this testament will fall

Dying to be written

A new testament to be born



The lion roars, the lion roars

The lion roars as never before

In testament
