      Testament is such a great F ing band!!! Time has proven that. I'll never understand why they never got as big as Metallica or Megadeth for example. Hindsight is 20/20 and I can definitely say they were way BETTER than Metallica and I'm an old school Metallica fan (don't care for anything after And Justice... even that album took some getting used to.) But I digress... F ing TESTAMENT!!! Those of us who know...KNOW.

    I am Louie Clemente's daughter and my dad was always on tour when I was really little and after I was born. So I saw him mostly on holidays,bdays and for the summer until he retired. But seeing his talent as I've grown up has been great. As an adult now it hits different. Greg is the mastermind to the concepts and most lyrics and so much more. But the band as a whole is the true definition of manifestation. My mom told ne she watched at 18 yrs old Testament band members manifested everything to do with the band. From choosing members,writing music,lyrics and getting signed and touring/Headlining. Never stop manifesting in your life. I've manifested everything great in mine.

    Lyrics
    I'm gonna take you to a place far from here
    No one will see us watch the pain as it disappears
    No time for anger, no time for despair
    Won't you come with me, there's room for us there?
    This innocent beauty my words can't describe
    This rebirth to purity brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
    No time for anger, no time for despair
    Please, let me take you 'cause I'm already there
    I'm so alone
    My head's my home
    I'll return to serenity
    A rhyme without reason is why children cry
    They see through the system that's breeding them just so they die
    So please let me take you, and I'll show you the truth
    Inside my reality, we shared in our youth
    I'm so alone
    My head's my home
    And I feel
    So alone (so alone)
    At last (at last)
    I return to serenity
    Now that I've taken you to a place far from here
    I really must go back, close your eyes, and we'll disappear
    Won't you come with me, salvation we share
    Inside of my head now there's room for us there
    I'm so alone
    My head's my home
    And I feel
    So alone (so alone)
    At last (at last)
    I return to serenity

    Extraordinarily talented band. Today's music doesn't meet this song's prowess.

    I remember seen this video on "Musique Plus" back then and realizing that Alex Skolnick was not in the said video. I was like "WTF man"?!! (No disrespect to Glen Alvelais, awesome guitar player btw) I've learned a bit later that he had left the band, i was really devastated!! My favorite band EVER! Kinda like when old folks learned that "the Beattles" had just split up... I love you Alex, you're a true genius!
