    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 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 return to serenity
    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 youth
    [CHORUS:]
    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

      Chuck's voice is spot on. Too bad Peterson's (who is doing the back up vocals. I think.) is pretty spotty

    • @damianlee5438
      @damianlee5438 Рік тому +2

      Agreed. Love how no one ever mentions how he totally nails one of Skolnicks best solos (in fact he nailed most of them when I saw them in concert) but Skolnick can't seem to play ANY of Murphy's solos.
      James Murphy is a metal God. And so overlooked.

      oooo...ahh...what? If they're your favorite band you should try to find the whole album "live at the filmore" testament. It's one of my hallowed treasures. This song is part of the last 3 songs on the album which are 3 acoustic versions of the songs return to serentiy, trail of tears, and...the legacy. The rest is the best live metal you've ever heard.

    It's the first time I hear a thrash band play acoustic, with an electric guitar solo more rock than metal. And in a perfect way, too. I think that this album will be one of the next ones in my shopping list.

    voy a llevarte
    a un lugar muy lejos de aquí
    nadie nos verá
    observa como el sufrimiento desaparece
    sin tiempo para la desesperación
    sin tiempo para la desaparición
    no vendrás conmigo
    hay un lugar para nosotros allá
    esta belleza inocente
    mis palabras no pueden describir
    este renacimiento de pureza
    brota un lágrima hosca de tus ojos
    sin tiempo para la cólera
    sin tiempo para la desesperación
    por favor déjame llevarte
    porque yo estoy allí
    estoy tan solo
    mi cabeza es mi casa
    regresaré a la serenidad
    rima sin la razón es porque los niños lloran
    no se dejan engañar por el sistema
    que los cría hasta que mueren
    así que por favor déjame llevarte
    y te mostraré la verdad
    dentro de mi realidad
    compartimos la juventud
    (coro)
    estoy tan solo
    mi cabeza es mi casa
    y me siento
    tan solo
    lo sabes
    al final
    regresaré a la serenidad
    ahora que te he llevado
    a un lugar tan lejos de aquí
    en verdad debo regresar
    cierra tus ojos y desapareceremos
    no vendrás conmigo
    la salvación que compartiremos
    dentro de mi cabeza ahora
    hay un lugar para nosotros allá

    When I lived in Lauderhill,Fla I used to play this on cassette all the time, so much it wore out and I had to buy another one. My neighbors didn't like me much, or maybe it was the TESTAMENT, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, DEATH ANGEL, METALLICA, -O- -Z- -Z- -Y- and all the other metal music. I can only imagine the torment I could've inflicted onto them if iPods were invented back then!

    "Return To Serenity"
    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 a room for us there
    This innocent beauty
    My words can't describe
    This rebirth 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
    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 youth
    I'm so alone
    My head's my home
    And I feel
    So alone
    You know
    At last
    I'll 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'll share
    Inside of my head now
    There's a room for us there
    I'm so alone
    My head's my home
    And I feel
    So alone
    You know
    At last
    I'll return to serenity

    I know Alex skolnick did the o.g. version but give it up for James Murphy he did fill for skolnick during much of the early ninety's and pretty much the 90's and star naya native women vocalist ❤

    Right now, all I can listen to is this; first Dime went, now his brother Vinnie went to meet him and their mom.Never knew either of them, but I feel like we had a bond, even though I've only been a fan for God knows how many years; so it feels awful, this pain in my heart that they're both gone now; this may not be PanterA, or Hellyeah, or Damageplan, but this song is the only song that gives me hope knowing those 2 are just rocking out in Heaven togethe, the lyrics are all too much a call to both brothers, saying "let us return to what we used to know
