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.
O. we promise pretty things
And we pledge with diamond rings
We profess undying love
But does that word hold any weight?
We reserve the right to break
Any vow that draws our blood
Our word is so faint and feeble
Broken by the slightest breeze or breath
Our hearts are, they're so deceitful
Sick and filled with lies that lead to death
We are cowards and thieves
Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
What we have become
Yeah we get down on one knee
O, we play at chivalry
But we do not count the cost
We say: On me you can depend
And: I will be there till the end
Though we will not bear the cross
Our word is so faint and feeble
Broken by the slightest breeze or breath
Our hearts are, they're so deceitful
Sick and filled with lies that lead to death
We are cowards and thieves
Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
What we have become?
Cowards and thieves
Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
What we have become?
Cowards and thieves
Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
What we have become?
