Broken Promise
LEAVES CHANGE FROM REDS TO BLACKS
TRUTH AND HONESTY HER LOVER LACKS
HE TOOK HER HEART,BROKE IT IN TWO
WHAT ELSE WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS AT STAKE
AND FOR THAT HER LIFE SHE DID TAKE
NOBODY WOULD MISS HER WHEN GONE
EVERYTHING SEEMED TO ALWAYS BE WRONG
AS SHE WATCHED FROM WORLDS ABOVE
NEEDLES AND TUBES INTO HER THEY SHOVED
HER HEART GAVE ITS VERY LAST BEAT
SHE HAD GIVEN INTO THE DEVILS DEFEAT
THEY LOWERED THE RED AND BLACK CASKET INTO THE GROUND
WHILE FAMILY AND FRIENDS GATHERED AROUND
FIRST IN LINE HAPPENED TO BE HIM
HIS FEELINGS FOR HER NO LONGER DIM
UNFORTUNATELY IT CANNOT BE UNDONE
SHE WILL FOREVER AND ALWAYS BE GONE
NOW SHE COMMITTED THE ULTIMATE CRIME
FOR THAT HE HAS TO DO THE TIME
HE KNEELS BY THE CASKET,BEGINS TO PRAY
THAT SHE'LL WATCH OVER HIM DAY AFTER DAY
CERTAINLY HER HE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY MISS
THE PAYMENT FOR HIS BROKEN PROMISE
