Lyrics/Letras:

I've been a prisoner
Trapped in by fear
Ordered for the rest of my life
Condemned in a jail cell
Ain't seen life in years
Escape is the only way out

[CHORUS :]
Restart my life
Or self destruction
To climb this wall
Of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom
That beckons me

My sanity is all but gone
My patience is growing very weak
I need to get a hold of myself
I stare at the wall
For the right time has come
Escape must occur on this night

[CHORUS :]
Stand in my way
And I'll run you straight through
There's no one to stop me now
For I'm on the loose
And I'm ready to start
Torture and hell an this town

OVER THE WALL !!!!!!!!

The search will not stop
And hounds will not rest
Till I am back in my cell
For if I am caught,I'll try it again
Over the wall I will go,I will go

[CHORUS :]

Just got my 13 year old son into Testament.... He loves them now😊

[lunanielsen]

Love that solo. Alex is easily one of the most underrated guitarists in Metal

[metalheadneji]

In my opinion Chuck has the most insane vocals in thrash.

[drob]

This is REAL HEAVY METAL for REAL HEADBANGERS!!!!
I remember seeing this on "Headbanger's Ball" back in '87, and I was like;
HOLY SHIT!!! THESE GUYS KICK ASS!!!!
Testament is one KICK-ASS Thrash Metal Band!!!!

[omarsanchez]

The Legacy is a great album. Every song in the album is great Over the wall, , The Hunting, Alone in the dark, , Burnt Offering etc.

[oldwelshbloke]

This video captures the freedom, hope, energy of thrash. It was like a blast of fresh air against the overblown shit that was around. I'm old!

[N.Dalmighty]

Millenials, this is the time that music was really music💯💯

[a.s.]

old school (thrash) metal music of my youth. Still love it!!!

[manhuntbandtorino]

2:35 that bridge, that solo! One of the highest point of Testament.

[ibleedwhiskeyplanet]

This song was a great introduction to one of the best thrash bands the world will ever know.

[Goobid]

best song ive ever heard in my life. that solo is absolutely fucking amazing

[agpereirav]

You  know metal is good when you keep hearing it after 20 years and still kicks ass the metal way!!

[cyt]

this is some majestic thrash. this kind of song made thrash metal emblematic. so much influence on other bands

[CrL]

One of THE most underrated bands ever. Part of the big 5

[euthaniser]

This is one of the greatest metal songs!

[wwcobra]

Testament was so underrated that really pissed me off. They should had been as famous as Metallica and Slayer

[erickperdigao]

Gee that riff 1:40 - 1:49 is absolutely killer!!!

[rattleXhead]

legend has it that in heaven, the angels' harps resonate 80's thrash

[OfficialDyer]

It was an honor sharing the stage with the mighty TESTAMENT!

[rickallen]

it's a shame that bands like this aren't more publicized in our culture.  I only found out about these guys like 6 months ago after having to dig through some other groups first
