Promises (as The Years Go By) — текст песни (Iq)

Say awhile, when I`m not alone
I forget all the anger in me
Kiss a tear when the hammer falls
They`re holding me here in never ending circles
I can still remember summer madness
I can taste the perfume on your cheek
The heat is overcome by coldness--How
Consoling words are insignificant
Say you`ll pray
Justify the actions
These are days of the mob-rule, sharp tongue, curfew
When the mind is in solitary confinement--
Makes the mood that breaks you
There`s a spirit seeking liberation
Here`s a fire with a hungry heart
If I listen maybe, time will tell me
The reasons why we`re torn apart
As the years go by
Don`t make any false promises
As the years go by
Say you`ll pray
Here the silence is too loud
In a steel barred jail on the other side
We invented the differences
That weaved the web with which we lied
Caught in the middle of a cold war zone
I left my lover in a far-off place
She`ll kiss a tear when the hammer`s falling
And wipe the darkness from my face
As the years go by
Don`t make any false promises
As the years go by
Just say you`ll pray
