SINS AND PROMISES

SINS AND PROMISES

Music by David Shankle
Lyrics by Dennis Hirschauer

I can feel it
Evil rules me
It opens up my door
It falls into the floor to defile me
I can mean it
But never challenge
To open up my mind
The demons I will find would defy you
So come along within my dreams
And try to walk away
To kill the nature of my day
Where my sun will never see the rain
And no one will ever see the pain

I’m kneeling alone
Before the calling
I’ve paid my homage
To the beast before me

But only for a moment
Long enough to hurt me
Long enough to tempt me
Long enough to make me
Forget the love that’s in my pain
Nothing to make it go away….. I pray

Wash away my sins and my promises
Take me back to the day and erase
Wash away my brimstone and fire
Take me back to the day and erase

I’m falling alone before the fire
I feel my end is coming soon ….. I feel it
But only for a moment
Long enough to hurt me
Long enough to change me
Long enough to make me
Forget the love that’s in my vain
Nothing to take it all away…..so I pray

Wash away my sins and my promises
Take me back to the day and erase
Wash away my brimstone and fire
Take me back to the day and erase

I can feel it
Evil rules me
It opens up my door
It fell into the floor to defile me
And I can mean it
But never challenge
To open up my mind
The demons I will find would defy you
So come along within my dreams
And try to walk away
To kill the nature of my day
And no one will ever see the pain

I’m dying alone within desire
Leave all my anger in my soul - within me
But only for a moment – long enough to hurt me
Long enough to take me – long enough to make me

Wash away (can’t wash away) my sins and my promises
Take me back to the day and erase
Wash away (can’t wash away) my brimstone and fire
Take me back to the day and erase
Wash away (can’t wash away) my sins and my promises
Take me back to the day and erase
Wash away (can’t wash away) my brimstone and fire
Take me back to the day and erase
Cuz evil rules me again
It opens the door
I fall to the floor again
