I Promise

Rest in peace my friend, know that this is not the end
As we say goodbye to you I hope to god you knew
This pain won’t mend

Follow my voice, into the dark
I promise, I hear, the voice I once knew
Follow my voice, into the dark
I promise, I hear, the voice I once knew

Shadow I see you, you’ve got a face I recognise
Now I'm questioning myself, as to whether all I’ve seen here is real, or is it a lie?
I’m fine, I swear I’m fine, I’ll walk the line, now that I've seen you rise

Silence, this is all we’ll know
I’ve seen a version of how it has to go
Silence, you’re not alone
Into the light, unknown

You’ve the lost will, it's over now
How can we live through this hell?
You’ve the lost will, it's over now
How can we live through this hell?

So let your spirit rise, surrounded in light
And even though your body will die
In our minds you’re always alive
So let your spirit rise, surrounded in light
And even though your body will die
In our minds you’re always alive

Rest in peace my friend, know that this is not the end
As we say goodbye to you I hope to god you knew
This pain won’t mend
