The Persecuted Won't Forget - Testament

The noose around my neck

Cinched in tight unmercifully

The tighter that it gets

Enables only my eyes to see

Truth through all the dust

Twisted lies which you decree

The system unjust

You will never bend my knees

The broken and the blessed

Both sides try to preach to me

Social unrest

Who labeled me the enemy?

In pieces shall we rest

For those who choose not to believe

So put me to the test

Who wrote those pages of history?

Subject to another threat

Living without regrets

Pay the price with my death

The persecuted won’t forget

I cannot breathe

You watch the pain

Suffocating me

Lies, Lies

I cannot breathe

You watch me bleed

Suffocate me

Can’t break away

My heart still beats unsevered

My soul be saved, amen

Condemned forever

I’ve been awakened

Can’t be mistaken

The lessons beseech you

Break free from the noose

The noose around my neck

Cinched in tight relentlessly

The tighter that it gets

My heart still beats, but I can’t breathe

In pieces shall we rest

For those who chose not to believe

Liberty in death

After all is said, you won’t break me

Subject to another threat

Living without regrets

Pay the price with my death

The persecuted won’t forget
