Song lyrics

Send "The Promise" ringtones to your cell

On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life had no longer meaning
Nothing to make her stay
She sold her soul away

I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
I believed

After the night he died
I wept my tears until they dried
But the pain stayed the same
I didn't want him to die all in vain
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
I'll make them bleed down at my feet

I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
I believed

Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known about their true intentions?
As the pain stayed the same
I'm going to haunt them down all the way
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
One by one they were surprised

I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
I believed

3,618 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Oh, awesome. One of the tracks I downloaded and must of fogotten. Anyway, awesome. Mother Earth = one superb, awesome album. So many great themes within (mind the pun) the album. This song can easily be interpredicted as human loss in an unjust conflict.
