THE PROMISE
© 2011 RM(Starburst/Chudacoff)

I'll be back before they light your birthday candles
A kiss, I turned and climbed aboard
Now 2 hundred miles above the burning shambles
The gods of war are keeping score
(chorus)
I DON'T WANNA LOSE ALL MANKIND
TAKE IT BACK, TAKE IT BACK, HIT REWIND
DIDN'T WE ALWAYS SAY THAT THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE
HOW COULD FEAR IN ONE DAY END
ALL THAT'S BEEN BUILT IN A MILLENNIUM
AND BREAK THE PROMISE MADE
before false pride arose to take control
no more reason no more hope
now I float alone beyond forever
only silent dreams of home
(chorus)
I DON'T WANNA LOSE ALL MANKIND
TAKE IT BACK, TAKE IT BACK, HIT REWIND
DIDN'T WE ALWAYS SAY THAT THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE
HOW COULD FEAR IN ONE DAY END
ALL THAT'S BEEN BUILT IN A MILLENNIUM
AND BREAK THE PROMISE MADE
BRIDGE
My last prayer
Evil monster, crusher of life
You are not my god, I disown you, you do not exist

Now 2 hundred miles above the burning shambles
the gods of war are keeping score
(chorus)
I DON'T WANNA LOSE ALL MANKIND
TAKE IT BACK, TAKE IT BACK, HIT REWIND
DIDN'T WE ALWAYS SAY THAT THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE
HOW COULD FEAR IN ONE DAY END
ALL THAT'S BEEN BUILT IN A MILLENNIUM
AND BREAK THE PROMISE MADE

a kiss I turned and climbed aboard
