Shadow Of A Promise Lyrics

Through empty words and promises the madman speaks.
His lies go forth as law unto those who believe.
Under dark commands he leads the way to a brighter day.
Yet that day will never come.
His day will come
Say the word and i will follow
Speak the truth i will believe
Cast not your shadow on my eyes

Open minds are led astray
With the hope for a brighter day
Cast not your shadow on my heart

A promise made a promise kept
Remove the lie there's nothing left
Cast not your shadow of a promise.

Generals bow before him while the people damn his name
Madman, god, or just a fool ?
Using words of victory, justice, and unity.
To him these are lies - such an unfortunate surprise.

With just one word a nation is moved and justifies his power.
The tyrant laughs for in his mind he is supreme.
Yet as the sun sets slowly in my heart a nation is broken.
And the youth feel the pain.
The youth will rise against !

Too late for words to turn back the hands of time.
Yet deeds take place of sorrow and change it's course in line.
Dressed in robes of honor, blindly gaining our trust.
Soon his robes will be stained with tyranny and blood.
