Testament Lyrics

I awake in a fever late at night

Still trapped in my old surroundings

Images have left me restless and lost

In a vision of you rebounding

These wrinkled sheets of silk in white

Now strewn on the floor below

I reach to touch a frozen heart

You say you'll never let me go

And I see them waiting

As they lead you astray

A better man couldn't keep you here

So just turn and walk away

Your vacancy, it still remains

And resonates within my soul

A passing glance toward those eyes

Leaves these feelings without control

Ensembles gather again tonight

Waiting for their last redemption

In time we will come to face ourselves

Admitting to our intentions

But I see them waiting

As they lead you astray

A better man wouldn't keep you here

As you turn and walk away

I know I've been too far now

Too far for much too long and

I'll let the weakness take me

A remedy and a sanctuary, and I've

Never felt this friction

So coarse and so divided

I'll break this cold addiction

Throw it away, don't let it stay but

I know I've been too far now

Too far for much too long and

I'd let the darkness hold me

A remedy and a sanctuary, but

The mercy's all in your hands

My love, it's all in your hands

But if at all I'm absent

My love is my final testament
