The Ballad

[Testament/Skolnick, Billy]

I'm not one to say

Where my feelings are going when they wither away

I pray to see another day

My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay

Restrained to meet again

My friend do you think that we ever will

I know we are free...

The games are played with your life on the line

Some lose, you win if you keep on trying

I don't mind doing the time, I'm happier being alive

Now I know the truth is your own most sacred lesson I've ever learned

I know we are free...

I've been robbed, I've been fooled

I intent now to make my own rules

Dagger's edge cut the life, I've been down that road

Too many times

What's to fear. fear no more,

Show my consciense what fear's for

Now I know this is so real

What's done is done so do as you will!

I'm keeping alive! Go on, no don't look back

Just realise where you've gone.

Where are you going to, no life's not done wit you

You've only just begun, to live your life, for you...
