Promises

O, we promise pretty things

And we pledge with diamond rings

We profess undying love

But does that word hold any weight

When 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
