Cover art for The Promise lyrics by Within Temptation

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:).
