- The New Order Lyrics / with translations"The New Order" by TESTAMENT
Takers of humanity, elders paranoid
The time is now
Give up this world you once destroyed
Society versus the underground
Their battles fought and lost
the time has come
to rule the world at any cost
For the past it's too late
'Cause the world can't control fate
Shadows cast loud and clear
Tell the world the new order's here
Cities turn to battlefields
a deadly spell is cast
corpses falling one by one
until the last
The preacher speaks of prophecy
so many years before
No one escapes their punishment
the gods of war
For the past it's too late
'Cause the world can't control fate
Shadows cast loud and clear
Tell the world the new order's here
Death is like an empty space
feel no thoughts of fear
the future cries
as mother nature sheds a tear
The world becomes a prisoner
a victim of its crime
The human race is now a race
against time
FOR THE PAST IT'S TOO LATE
'CAUSE THE WORLD CAN'T CONTROL FATE
SHADOWS CAST LOUD AND CLEAR
TELL THE WORLD THE NEW ORDER'S HERE!
Takers of humanity, elders paranoid
The time is now
Give up this world you once destroyed
Society versus the underground
Their battles fought and lost
the time has come
to rule the world at any cost
For the past it's too late
'Cause the world can't control fate
Shadows cast loud and clear
Tell the world the new order's here
Cities turn to battlefields
a deadly spell is cast
corpses falling one by one
until the last
The preacher speaks of prophecy
so many years before
No one escapes their punishment
For the past it's too late
'Cause the world can't control fate
Shadows cast loud and clear
Tell the world the new order's here
Death is like an empty space
feel no thoughts of fear
the future cries
as mother nature sheds a tear
The world becomes a prisoner
a victim of its crime
The human race is now a race
against time
FOR THE PAST IT'S TOO LATE
'CAUSE THE WORLD CAN'T CONTROL FATE
SHADOWS CAST LOUD AND CLEAR
TELL THE WORLD THE NEW ORDER'S HERE!

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Testament's 'The New Order' not only depicts but also, projects a very dark scenario of a world that is overtaken by chaos and war, where humankind has to pay the price for its former mistakes. The metaphor of 'shadows cast loud and clear' denotes the heavy and certain presence of the evil about to come and the ushering of the tyrannical new order. The new order lyrics do mainly amplify angst, despair, social commentary, anger and reflection. Besides this, the song also implies the necessity of war and turmoil, destiny, new order and change, and destruction and loss as things that happen in the cycle of life. The lyrics are intertwined with the themes of violence, death, and the collapse of civilization, which are really strong and may be disturbing for the little ones. The imagery of cities turned into war zones and the mention of dead bodies dropping one by one support the idea of a specifically adult and dark theme. Moreover, the language is not coarse-sounding but rather serious and ominous, thus, it is acceptable for PG-13 rating.
