Promises
Overkill · Other Songs - Overkill
So we waited for our salvation to arrive
Then it took everything that we loved
And it let us alive
I hear you call
And I promise to you
One day, some day
The pain will go
Solitary movement meant for two
Can you hear the loneliness in silent cries
If you take everyting that I love
Leave me to die
I hear you call
And I promise to you
One day, some day
The pain will go
If you take everything that I love
And you leave here
Leave me alive
If you take everything thet I love
And I'm standing here
Waiting to die
I hear you call
And I promise to you
One day, some day
The pain will go
