Promises

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?
