The Promise

from Again She Reigns by Batuk

/

lyrics

Oohhhhh
Oohhhhh
Oohhhhh

The fruits of freedom
Bitter sweet
Our roots deceive
And rot beneath the trees
To feel alone
Toooo, hard to breathe
You hit the stone
And watch how you gon bleed
South of Eden
North of Hell
An open secret
Don't kiss and tell
Her father fails her
Her brother blames
And silence ravages what remains

(Her father)

You promised all to me
You promised all to me
You promised all to me
Oh! You promised all to me
You promised all to me
You promised all to me
You promised all to me

(You promised all to me)

You promised all to me
You promised all to me

The fruits of freedom
Bitter sweet
An ocean stares
I stare back and bleed
The bitter waves break
Salty wounds
I cry my secret safe
In my cocoon
I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I fear them close
Prefer to kill the stranger
Her father fails her
Her brother blames
And silence ravages what remains

I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I feel no safer
I fear no danger
I feel them close, prefer to kill the stranger

You promised all to me
You promised all to me
