Testament - Sewn Shut Eyes

Testament - 10. Sewn Shut Eyes - The Gathering


Hate...
Hate is a lesson we know
Alone on its own it will die
It eats what it needs to survive...
It wants to survive
Every night you look deep in your soul
Burn the fields
Where the the hatred is grown...

Hate...
Hate always seething to find
some way to get to your brain
Infesting what's pure in the mind
Hatred divine...
Look around you is anyone pure
Free of hatred
Inside this cold world

Pre-conceived
Truth from lies
Blind to see
Through sewn shut eyes
Hate breeds hate

Hate...
Always eager to rise
Above all to gain full control
Infesting what's pure in the mind
Evil entwined...
Even now that the seeds have been sewn
Burn the fields
Where the hatred still grows...
Hate breeds hate

How many have die
before we realize hate undermines

Hate...
Hate always eager to find
some way to tear out your soul
Surviving the passage of time
Dirty white lies...
Back in time as our history shows
Endless cycles
of hatred still flow

Pre-conceived heartless lies
Blind to see - through sewn shut eyes
Is there still hope for us now?
I said - is there still hope for us now?
NO!!!

Amazing song from an amazing band. In my opinion, The Gathering was easily one of the best, if not THE best, Testament album ever.

[Chuloloc]

[PrimusOptimo]

@MrStrangeSensation no... just no... yes its a bloody good album but it aint the best...

[airsofterphill]

Wow i love this song. Lots of death metal influence and that bass fill could be straight out of 'killers,' but the son is still pure testament. Great stuff

[Soboliew]

[warlockmetal1]

@XDarkStrikerX Ahh thank you man. Its always great to hear someone with a little bit of common sense. He tried to tell me about how hard it is to play "Revolution is My Name" compared to other Pantera songs on guitar even though he has no idea how to even play said song on guitar. He then had the nerve to accuse ME of making shit up. I cant believe that.

[XDarkStrikerX]

@warlockmetal1 You are obviously right. Ive read the whole conversation and learned that this kid doesnt know shit about song structure and guitar playing. LMFAO I wonder why he kept posting...
