Blood Promise Lyrics
When silence falls
And light remains
And time is born
Beneath the sun
I'll hide your name.
Inside a word
And paint your eyes
With false perception
And I feel your mind
In everything
And every breath
Destroys a sound.
And I will follow
A false sensation.
And I'll always believe.
Your blood promise
And every breath.
I stole from you
And I never will see
Your perfect body
And you never have spoken
An unclear word
And I'll never betray
Your blood promise
And light remains
And time is born
Beneath the sun
I'll hide your name.
Inside a word
And paint your eyes
With false perception
And I feel your mind
In everything
And every breath
Destroys a sound.
And I will follow
A false sensation.
And I'll always believe.
Your blood promise
And every breath.
I stole from you
And I never will see
Your perfect body
And you never have spoken
An unclear word
And I'll never betray
Your blood promise

Perhaps their most moving song, next to "God Damn the Sun" or "The Sound". Beautiful. An unbreakable promise remembered after the death of a loved one...
The 15 minute live version of this song just blows me away. Incredible.
Corrected lyrics:
When silence falls, And light remains, And time is born Beneath the sun, I'll hide your name Inside a word, And paint your eyes With false perception; And I feel your mind In everything, And every breath Destroys a sound; And I never will follow A false sensation; And I'll always believe Your blood promise;
And every breath I stole from you... But I never will see Your broken body; And you never have spoken An unclear word, And I'll never betray Your blood promise.
The line is "I will never follow/A false sensation".
I agree. The Swans Are Dead version is awesome: everything from the folky vocals sample intro to the pounding instrumental that dominates the recording, greta great song live. But I don't dig the studio verison as much : /
