Testament - Dog Faced Gods Lyrics






Of dog faced gods
Through the Nile sands whisper
Of ancient times, mayfly names
Flickered and gone
The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sands whisper
Ancient times, fade into the dawn

Of dog faced gods
Manifest in the night
The sacred rights
Handed down through times of old
Dark words of power
Blood upon their tombs
Through incantations
Locusts fly, signaling doom

Confirm who I am
Contort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief

Of dog faced gods
Dead civilization
Through priests of power
Invoking life of the ancient one

The blood and honey
Dripping from their jaws
Through the Nile sands whisper
Travel through time to the land unknown

Confirm who I am
Contort all I can
Conceive sorcery
Corrodes disbelief

  1. F.... V....

    Eric Peterson's band "Dragonlord" fucking crushes!!! Anyone who hasn't heard them yet really should check it out. He's on vocals with that group.

  2. w.... t....

    This album mix between Thrash and Death Metal after Alex and Loui gone from TESTAMENT after Ritual Album. Great fuckin album than Saint Anger By Metallica.

  3. H.... M....

    I remember when they played this song last year, it caught me off guard! So glad they played it, I always thought this in particular was such an underrated song!

  4. C.... C....

    Tempesta with the fucking best beats for this monster!!

  8. K.... D....

    But only some songs Chuck's growls are greats, like Low song but dog faced gods is almost full death metal voice, so i mostly skip this song. Testament isn't death metal band, it's thrash metal.

  9. K.... D....

    But i don't like this death metal voice so much, only some bad in this.

  10. T.... M....

    N.... ....

    +NoneBuriedDeeper They played this song live in last Latin America tour along with Cannibal Corpse!!

    N.... ....

    Yeah it's a rare gem these days. They did play it in 2010 when they opened for Megadeth and Slayer.

    N.... ....

  40. M.... ....

    quite a new fan of testament as only started listening to metal around 3 years ago,glad i did fucking awesome

    M.... ....

    YES!! My second favorite metal band behind only Megadeth 👍

  41. C.... G....

    I met Eric Peterson in LA in Jan.
    Told him Testament was my fave band..
    He asked what album?..I said Low
    He Asked what song?..I said Dog Faced Gods
    His exact words were" I love playin that song its so Ferocious! !

    C.... G....

    I love that he actually asked "Which album... which song..." XD

    C.... G....

    That's awesome in so many levels. And you gave the perfect answer...\m/.

  42. n.... ....

    This is better than their new stuff.

  43. B.... M....

    ya i agree

  44. T.... R....

    7 people are dickwad whores

  45. b.... ....

    Fuck, this is agression !!!! |m|

  46. B.... R....

    Yeah and,among other things,he also played brilliantly on Obituary's finest album,"Cause of Death".Everything he's played on is a classic.

  47. g.... G....

    interesting lyrical melodies, a bit outside the safe zone

  48. T.... ....

    This was one of James Murphy's best projects. He was also awesome in the 'Spiritual Healing' album when he jammed with Chuck Schuldiner's band Death.

  49. M.... T....

    The fabolous "James Murphy's influence"

    M.... T....

    Nope. It is all Eric Peterson. Murphy just filled in for the brief solo part.

  50. S.... S....

    2:25 .. i came

  51. J.... A....

    Cats are the Guardians of the Under World

  52. M.... M....

    They just thought Testament referred to a bible lesson.

  53. A.... A....

    I used to have the tablature book for this album and i remember this song in particular being really fuckin' hard to play.

  54. M.... A....

    fuck they spawned...there are 7 of those little pigs now

  55. A.... S....

    Na. 7 people just don't know great music when they here it

  56. A.... D....

  57. E.... T....

    7 people got piranha faces....

  58. D.... D....

    You are so hardcore.

  59. e.... ....

  74. C.... M....

    @inhuman96 You're insane.

  75. D.... J....

    i think testament is good...but honestly some of there stuff bores me....they need to have more songs like that first riff...that one kicks ass

  76. G.... K....

    I can honestly say that I don't like this... I'm more about their Thrasher years, this sounds like Death Metal to me.

    G.... K....

    Practice and souls suck from their thrash years

  77. P.... A....

    I remember around 1997, after the Demonic album, Testament was having a contract dispute with their record company, they were considering changing their name to "Dog Faced Gods"

  78. p.... ....

    awesomness.....NO. BADASSNESS

  79. B.... M....

    Ear porn, this song fucked my ear!!!!!

    B.... M....

    Meg Griffin should be informed about this song

    The Legacy is their best album

    r.... ....

    @Arka \m/ The gathering is their best

  83. M.... ....

    Great Album.

  84. b.... ....

    It's sad...this album has really awesome songs like the one above, but the others suck.

    very smart band...

  93. E.... B....

    @thsterrain Gotcha! Thanx.

  94. t.... ....

    @king666nothing "Dog Faced Gods" refers to the gods of ancient Egypt, depicted as human bodies with the heads/faces of jackyls.

  95. C.... C....

    Dog faced Gods...DEAD CIVILIZATIONS through priests of POWER invoking life of the ANCIENT ONE!!!

  96. E.... B....

    I never understood - is this song about gods who have dog faces? Or is it about one time when some dog met gods? ))) So weird.
    But balls-out amazing song nonetheless.

  97. B.... S....

    Testament should be considered in the top four.
