The promises I'd known I would keep

are floating in dust

Particles of despair sink into nothing

and the grip of despair has taken its toll on me

(ch)

I swore that things would change

but this is all there is

I didn't mean to let you down

I didn't mean to lie

I never wanted it to be this way

I should have been there

Now all of this has changed

But I swore and now I'm sorry it's this way

The times I took you by the hand

Squeezing so tight

A deathlike hold viced around you

and the time has come to seek redemption

And now we've left it all behind

So far away from me

This is lost, so far beyond now

The gods shamed to know us
