All The Promises

Where were you
When I was freezing by the river?
Where was your kind
When I was screaming in the fire?
Pouring gasoline

Upon my bones
The building of an empire
The dust of souls
The building of character?
Pour the gasoline

All the promises
So distant, watch them fade
All the promises you made

Save your breath
No time for liars where I’m going
Life on one’s knees
Not nearly worth my living
