Lost Leaves - Promise Lyrics

I stepped outside and felt the sun hit my face
And my tears they fell like rain
Six hours ago I was displaced, I became
Dead among living, a half-alive disgrace

So this I swear
I'll do justice to my life if I survive tonight
God strike me down
If I ever break this promise I make tonight, tonight

Twelve hours ago, I stepped outside, I was promised
I would die if I resisted
I told my heart and I told my mind the body could take it
That we would reconnect in no time

So I cross my heart
And I swear I'll make it out alive tonight (Ooooooooo)
God take me now
If I ever break this promise I make tonight, tonight

You let me go, and now I'm strong enough to fight
'Cause I promised tonight was the last time
Some years ago, I learned the gravity of hate
And found atonement the day that I forgave

So this I swear, in your memory I'll thrive tonight, tonight (Ooooooooo)
God take me now, if I ever break this promise I make tonight, tonight
God strike me down, if I ever break this promise I make tonight, tonight
