The test
By Mangafalcon
[Guitar intro]
[Verse 1]
[Begin male voice] This is a test; a test of the mind; a test of holding on.
This is a test; I sure will confess. Think before it's gone.
The lines are set, the picture’s drawn, and your brain is wandering.
The fear is flown, the truth is clear, and your head is pounding. [End male voice]
[Bridge 1]
[Begin female voice] You're wandering in the day's light and dreaming out loud.
So if you start believing, your wish will come out. [End female voice]
[Pre-chorus]
[Start male voice] Yeah, if I start believing, will I be receiving?
Yeah, here I am reflecting; my mind needs protecting. [End male voice]
[Chorus] [Start duet, male and female voice]
This is the test of salvation.
One for a lifetime to fill.
It isn't a test of a nation.
But there isn't a moment to spill.
It started after creation.
And it is a bitter pill.
Come out of your hibernation.
To see it, you need the skill.
[End duet, male and female voice]
[Verse 2]
[Start Male voice] This is a test; my mind is a mess; because of what I’m thinking off.
This is a test; the power I possess, but nothing’s showing off
The borderline, the grim truth, and my brakes are on the line.
Why am I here? I'm so sincere; this isn't the finish line. [End Male voice]
[Bridge 2]
[Start female voice] Just don't come out; you're wasting time; stop thinking out loud.
Keep fighting on; stay on the line; they will be proud. [End female voice]
[Verse 3]
[Start male voice]
This is a test; didn't you hear? I will start wondering.
This is a test, not for the ear; why don't you start listening?
Your mind isn't set; the ether’s on, and you're not receiving.
The record's gone; your sparks are blown; and they don't stop whispering. (End male voice)
[Bridge]
[Start female voice] You're changing delight, it's dark tonight, and your mind is shouting loud.
There is no point in deceiving; your head is a crowd.
[Pre-chorus]
[Start male voice] Yeah, if I start believing, will I be receiving?
Yeah, if I start trying, there is no point denying. [End male voce]
[Chorus] [Start duet, male and female voice]
This is the test of salvation.
One for a lifetime to fill.
It isn't a test of a nation.
But there isn't a moment to spill.
It started after creation.
And it is a bitter pill.
Come out of your hibernation.
To see it, you need the skill.
[End duet, male and female voice]
[Instrumental solo]
[Bridge]
[Start female voice] Aaaah-aaah-aaah oh-aaaah-aaaah-aaaah.
Aaaah-aaah-aaah oh-aaaah-aaaah-aaaah. [End female voice]
[Start male choir] Aaaah-aaah-aaah oh-aaaah-aaaah-aaaah.
Aaaah-aaah-aaah oh-waaaaaaah. [End male choir]
[Start Female voice mixed with male choir] Aaaah-aaah-aaah oh-aaaah-aaaah-aaaah.
Aaaah-aaah-aaah oh-waaaaasaaaah [End female voice mixed with male choir]
[Chorus] [Start duet, male and female voice]
This is the test of salvation.
One for a lifetime to fill.
It isn't a test of a nation.
But there isn't a moment to spill.
It started after creation.
And it is a bitter pill.
Come out of your hibernation.
To see it, you need the skill.
[Chorus]
This is the test of salvation.
Nobody has a clue.
Their acts are their own validation.
But for them, it sounds all brand new.
They all want their own recreation.
And then they fall out of the blue.
They work with some intimidation.
But there wasn't anything they knew.
[Outro]
This is the test of salvation.
It isn't pulled out of a sleeve.
It's not for my cultivation.
It's real, you just need belief. [End duet, male and female voice]
