Days turn to years
But in my heart
Time has stood still
And like the devil
In my soul
It tests my will
Promises,
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed
I just can seem to make
The commitment it takes
'Cause the guilt in my soul
Takes it toll
Every time I awake
Every time I awake
Time hasn't etched away the pictures of your face
Haunting me always
Memories I can't erase
And the promises
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed
I just can't seem to make
The commitment it takes
And a piece of my heart breaks apart
Every time I awake
Every time I awake
And the night seems so dark and so endless
My conscious won't let me sleep
The guilt that haunts me is so relentless
Cause the promise I made is the one I can't keep
Whoa promises
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed
And the promise
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed
I just can't seem to make
The commitment it takes
And the guilt in my soul
Takes it's toll
Every time I awake
Every time I awake
Every time I awake
[do you ever feel lonely]
Arnold Lanni and Wolf Hassel left Sherriff to form Frozen Ghost and take a new, more modern musical direction. Almost a decade later Sherriff had an "accidental" hit pulled off an old recording, which allowed the other former-band members to reap a few extra rewards from Wolf and Arni.
The song itself is about guilt and responsibilty for breaking a promise. It doesn't say what promise, or to who, but he can't shake the feelings.
