The Promise

It's a farewell to arms
The battle's fought and lost
A timely retreat
To collect our thoughts
All of the promises you made to me
Resulting in a gentle stream of agony
And it seems that we've forgotten how
We got this far

The angel voices in my head
They've left me for good
Should've left me dead

Just say the words
And we'll soar through blood-red skies
As we drive into the sunset
And leave this world behind
And we wouldn't stop 'til morning
'Til there's no more road ahead
But it's just a lie we tell ourselves
Like the thousand lives we said

On the horizon I can see
A black stormy sky
Where the sunlight should be
The wind and the rain
We could face on our own
We could've been lost
We could've been free

It's a farewell to arms
The battle's come and gone
Nothing left
Just what we've become all of the promises you made to me
Resulted in a gentle stream of agony
It seems that we've forgotten how
We got this far
