Lyrics
Dead Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The break of dawn kills all the beauty
The dead of night is drifting away
Should I stay and welcome the day
Or should I follow the one
And hide from the sun
The ray of light cuts like a razor
The blazing fire burns in my eyes
The day reveals the dreadful betrayer
And his wicked mind
Hide from the sun
Hide from the sun
Hide from the sun
Dead promises
Paintings of the world so pure
Ancient prophecies
Remains of the world so cruel
The time has come
To hide from the sun
Like a rat I run to the darkness
The ray of night embraces my mind
Afraid to look back in to the heartless
World of dust and blood
I'll hide from the sun
Hide from the sun
Hide from the sun
Dead promises
Paintings of the world so pure
Ancient prophecies
Remains of the world so cruel
The time has come
To hide from the sun
I know me better
I won't be as bitter
In my own heaven
I'll be gone forever
Won't fall back never
I won't crack ever
Won't lock back never
Dead promises
Paintings of the world so pure
Ancient prophecies
Remains of the world so cruel
The time has come
To hide from the sun
