Last Will And Testament Lyrics - Singles - Amebix

The parchment of my flesh must break 

The winter winds my soul doth take 

And all beneath the heavens lies in peace 

A world will form and fade away 

The crystal dawn of the final day 

Breaks upon the shores of death's release 

Bring me my flesh and blood 

On land, the sky, the sea 

And light a raging fire upon the hearth 

Gather round 'neath the cloak of time 

And drink a toast to these 

Our final days upon this earth 

We made the deserts from the gardens of our youth 

We spewed our blackened hearts into the sea 

Through darkened skies and poisoned clouds 

We blindly grope for truth 

We couldn't see the forest for the trees 

To my wretched son I leave this gun 

To slaughter all your race 

For this, the beast you have become 

I have no longer taste 

And daughter fair with burning hair 

The swamp of life be thine 

And watch as e'en the great will mate 

With the lowliest of swine 

To breed the sons, the greed and scum 

Of this your ravaged land 

All my estates, both small and great 

Shall fall beneath your hand
