Dead Promises

Tarja Turunen

Why have you wasted the time 
Drown in hideous nights?
Oh, why have you woken the thoughts 
Of a paranoid mind?

I've seen the walls collapsing, 
Breaking down, countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?

Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
I'm still here where you belong
Stop running from the truth

Dead promises
I can't change what you believe
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you

Why can't you see that your powers 
Will weaken and fall?
Oh, why you seem to forget 
What you make us recall?

I've seen the walls collapsing, 
Breaking down, countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?

Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you

Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
I'm still here where you belong
Stop running from the truth

Dead promises
I won't change what you believe
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you

Dead promises!
