The Promise - Within Temptation

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

(But) you slipped away

You promised to return to me

And 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 feed

I held you tight to me

(But) you slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed

I held you tight to me

(But) 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

(But) you slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed

I held you tight to me

(But) you slipped away

You promised to return to me

And I believed
