"Dead Promises" lyrics - TARJA TURUNEN

TARJA TURUNEN
"Dead Promises"

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've seen the walls collapsing, breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?
Know him at all

[Chorus:]
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, why you seem to forget what you make us recall?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've seen the walls collapsing, breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?
Know him at all

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

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
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
Dead promises
