We Promise

Isn't it a bit much now?

Leaving the flames in her hand

She set the world on fire

The end will be with us before too long

Nobody to reach on the telephone wire

Secrets and the silence are to take over this life

Our hearts and our souls using up their might

We're all going down but we're keeping quiet

We're so desperate to be numb and to turn the page

But there's not enough distractions in the iPhone age

Could it be lost now?

Repeating a played-out band who puts faith in a liar

Slaves to the few who take this way too far

Scratching out the truth 'fore the words are strong

Loud scattered voices saying which way is wrong

Poison in the water floods through our minds

Beaten down lungs breathing for the blind

Slipped from the grip of broken hands

No longer can we stay in the broken lands

What do we do now?

Guilty feet stand to watch the oceans rising

Can't do this now when our fear is climbing

What do we have if peace is running from us?

Crawling through the dark to find something just

Don't leave us here where we're scared

Have you gone further now than you ever dared?

We know your anger, your rage when you're restless

But we'll be good now

Forever

We promise
