The Promise
VËLLA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this waking nightmare
Where all dreams come true
You searched for a way
Through her darkness
You will find her in your heart
When you were in love
You left her in her own tears
And banish your
Banish your own fears
In darkness they came
Through stormy black seas
They raided these shores
Do you hear her screams?
As you are collapsing
Struggling to find the awakening
Within the loss and the grief
Lonely, you´ll shall find all the strength
All the guilt in your heart
Devotion still in your soul
Can´t erase the emotions
As you embrace life
They can break you apart
But never your promise
Even death, death won't keep
Death won't keep you both apart
In the head of her corpse lies
Lies the seat of her own soul




So you must carry her
To bring her back home again

Within her lifeless form rests


Lies the seat of her own soul
Resides the essence of her being


So you must carry her
Thus, you must transport her


To bring her back home again
In order to return her to her place of origin
