The Promise

Within Temptation - the promise

On behalf of her love

She no longer sleeps

Life had no longer meaning

Nothing to make her stay

She sold her soul away

I held you tight to me

You slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed, I believed

After the night he died

I wept my tears until they dried

But the pain stayed the same

I didn't want him to die all in vain

I made a promise to revenge his soul in time

I'll make them bleed down at my feet

I held you tight to me

You slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed

Sometimes I wonder

Could I have known about their true intentions?

As the pain stayed the same

I'm going to haunt them down all the way

I made a promise to revenge his soul in time

One by one they were surprised

I held you tight to me

You slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed

I held you tight to me

You slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed
