Within Temptation
"The Promise" lyrics

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
