Dead Promises

The Rasmus

The break of dawn kills all 
the beauty 
The dead of night is 
drifting away 
Should I stay and welcome 
the day 
Or should I follow the one 
And hide from the sun 

The ray of lights cuts like a razor 
The blazing fire burns 
in my eyes 
The day reveals the 
dreadful betrayer 
And his wicked mind 
Hide from the sun 
And hide from the sun 

Dead promises 
Paintings of the world so pure 
Ancient prophecies 
Remains of the world so cruel 
The time has come 
To hide from the sun 

Like a rat I run to 
the darkness 
The ray of night embraces 
my mind 
Afraid to look back in to 
the heartless 
World of dust and blood 
I'll hide from the sun 

I know me better 
I won't be as bitter 
In my own heaven 
I'll be gone forever 

Won't fall back never 
I won't crack ever 
Won't look back never
