Souls Of Black Lyrics
Can't you see
That in the world we live in
Political lies
Are just corporate decisions
They'll take away
All the hopes, not their promises
They'll put an end to this
Land of the livin
Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
They got control
Of the heart of a nation
Their social bribes
Seem so graciously
As time goes by
'Cause time as you can see
Will slowly die for you and me
Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
So put an end
To this idolization
Antagonizing so commonly
Open your eyes
'Cause the lie's there so plain to see
Life goes on
There's no guarantees
Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
They're bleeding so black
That in the world we live in
Political lies
Are just corporate decisions
They'll take away
All the hopes, not their promises
They'll put an end to this
Land of the livin
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
Of the heart of a nation
Their social bribes
Seem so graciously
As time goes by
'Cause time as you can see
Will slowly die for you and me
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black
To this idolization
Antagonizing so commonly
Open your eyes
'Cause the lie's there so plain to see
Life goes on
There's no guarantees
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

Oh my fucking god! how can i be only the SECOND comment on this song, wtf, why hasnt more ppl commented, too busy listening to your p.o.s (c)rap music or something? Anyways this is one of TestAmenT's best songs ever, and the solo is so fucking good, if their was ever a top 10 solos list, the solo in this song would DEFINITELY be on there. Now I agree with Thrash Metal Rulez to some extent, but personally to me i think it is more about how (at least in America) the government lies to us and has total control over us, and we are pretty much black souls, we have no idea whats true or not, whats happening, were lied to, were pretty much blinded by the goverments lies and the media, and if we would just open our eyes, we would see that the "system" is one whole lie, and that the "system" is/will corrupting us. anyways thats my opinion, might be wrong or not, idk, but i do know that ppl need to start commenting on the good music (like TestAmenT) and stop commenting so much on crap like hilary puff and shit-182. BTW off topic, maybe its just me, but doesnt this song sound sorta similar to "For Whom The Bells Toll" by "Rap"tallica (oh and btw metallica are/were VERY overated and the good thrash like testament did NOT get the popularity that they deserved). anyways guys THRASH ON! \m/ \m/
WHAT THE FUCK! Why hasn't anyone commented on this song already? This song is AWESOME, this is Testament's best song ever. The solo is unbelivable. The song seems to be about how government injustice will lead to an end to the world as we know it.
Great old school trash TestAmenT song... as on the meaning, I agree totally with MasterCraker.
Testament's guitar player Alex is a guitar shredder and rules and didn't get any appreciation or popularity from the fans or from any one like Metallica did. and i think Metallica rocks, my 4th or 5th favorite bands, and Kirk is another awesome guitar player, but in my honest opinion, he has nothing on Alex S. Alex would leave Kirk in the dust with out a doubt! and this is for examples only not being religious or being religious but for my example it refers to a bible story told to me once ok, Alex is God for example and Kirk would be the son of God, like the good book says, God is the father and Jesus is the son, well Alex is the main Guitar god and well Kirk would be the son Jesus, lol that's how bad ass Alex is at playing guitar, hands down the best guitar player whoever lived, and this is one hell of a song, and in my opinion, it is talking about an America that has been and always will be corrupt because we the people are so blind and brain washed by all the lies and propaganda we see on media to see and keep voting for these idiots, WAKE AMERICA open your Eyes! the souls of black are those politicians in D.C. I hope them souls of black burn for eternity. TESTAMENT WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER \m/ rock \m/
