Promise Keeper

Daylight took your body
Took your eyes and your army
Just vanish like a bruise
Cost you all you had to lose
(Dream away, dream away)
You play like none do
Game of numbers
Promises to keep
As far as the eyes can reach
A game of luck that I would choose
A game of light that I would lose
(Dream away, dream away)
Game of numbers will take us under, ooh
You would leave me under oath
Blazing thunder at all
You will leave me under the sun
And I'll dream, I see
Dream I see
A day alive can take your body
Can take your mind and your beliefs
Like a thread from a spool
Close your eyes before you lose
(Dream away, dream away) time, time
Game of numbers will take us under
Go
You would leave me under oath
Blazing thunder at all
You will leave me under the sun
And I'll dream, I see
Dream I see
