Testament:"Last stand for independence", (from the album "Dark roots of earth", 2012):
Last chance for independence
Call to arms to take a stand
Fully armed, our forces strong
Against the enemy we dance
Life lost for liberty,
Blood shed to protect our homes
Stand tall, divided we fall
The conflict takes it´s deadly toll
You struggle to breathe
Don´t ever let go
The less we conceive
The stronger er grow!
Fight on for independence
Charge through demolished lands
Ears ring to the hum of bullets
A tune a tragedy of man
Never surrender, blood stains upon my soul
Burning flags and body bags
The price of liberty for all
The last thing you´ll see
Is the last thing you´ll know
The less we conceive
The stronger we grow!
Facing our death
Struggle to breathe, choking on fear
In god we trust
Oppression for years
Blood sweat and tears
Will we ever know
The stillness of the storm...
Can we readjust
Our failures into trust...
Last chance for independence
The final call to make a stand
Hold fast, united strong
Against the enemy at hand
Never surrender, blood stains upon thy soul
Burning flags, and body bags
The price of liberty for all
You struggle to breathe
Don´t ever let go
The less we conceive
The stronger we grow!
Facing our death
Struggle to breathe, choking on fear
In god we trust
Oppression for years
Blood sweat and tears
(lyrics: Chuck Billy)

(Sometimes I really have a hard time, when it comes to "The next great heavy metal-song...." :-) It´s not always that easy making the decision which song to put on, TRUST ME....ha ha....Take for an example the new Testament-album "Dark roots of earth", which is, in my opinion, loaded with thrash-winners....I almost went through all of the songs included before I ended up with....erm....the end, the closer "Last stand for independence". This charming energy-thrasher is a perfect way to end a perfect album, it simply makes you wanna push the PLAY-button once again, which can be kinda frustrating, when you have other things to be done....ha ha....
Yes, I love the "Dark roots of earth"-album, I really do, but it took me some listenings really getting into it....Luckily songs like "Native blood" and the titel-song helped me on the way :-) One of the things, that makes the album such a killer, is the STRONG songwriting....There´s simply no way Testament can deny it: THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS :-)
See you next time with yet another great heavy metal-song with lyrics, and this time....well....something great is coming up in Scandinavia september month, and we´re warming up! Maybe a little too early, but I´m quite sure, you´ll forgive me....ha ha....
See you!
Kind regards
Carsten
