IQ - Promises (as The Years Go By) lyrics

Stay 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
