The Promise Lyrics
On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life no longer had 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, 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 at my feet
Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known 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

its about a woman taking revenge on the killers of her husband/lover.
This is one of my favourite songs. Heads my nick.
The first part is the 3rd person story telling part. Then the rest is the girl singing. The girl no longer had anything to live for, so sold her soul to bring her lover back. To do that she had to kill all the ones responsible for his death, and perhaps, as the beginning suggests, wouldn't get any rest before they were all dead.
I can listen to this for hours:).
well its about a woman who is taking revenge on the killers or her loved one. this song could actually be called promises because there are 2 promises in this song,
the second promise is from the girl, he promised him that she would take revenge. " made a promise to revenge his soul in time I'll make them bleed at my feet"
1 is from the man telling her that he will stay with her (wich he ofcourse can't do because he actually dies) "I held you tight to me But you slipped away You promised to return to me And I believed, I believed"
What is the guy whispering at the beginning and end of the song? I can hear "Where are we now? Almost to" and then what? It kind of sounds like Camelot, but I doubt it's that. Anyone know?
"Where are we now? You're almost in heaven" I'm guessing it means that she's dying from obsessing so much over avenging him. 'Cause she isn't sleeping, and you can die from lack of sleep. I might be wrong though.
