Promises Lyrics

It's a shame nobody took Dave's slower more emotionally powerful lyrics seriously...because he did just as good job as when thrashing them out.

The song seems to be about a Romeo and Juliet type scenario where the two lovers are kept apart, and end up dying for each other..as shown by the "I will meet you in the next life, I promise you"
