La promesse cassée

The Broken Promise


Where are you my dear friend
Days and nights I have waited for you.
And the nights are so long.

Here it is so sad to see
The eagle with ivory wings
Turning above
Unable to recognize his world

Chorus
There on the water, our lives broken into a thousand pieces
This is all that is left,
The thousand pieces of your promise

You swore, your hand on a book (on the bible)
That we would be happy and free and proud
Standing tall in our land.

But we are on the sidewalk
White souls, black souls waiting

Waiting
In the same prayer (Saying the same prayer)

Bridge
Noah, take me away
As far as can be.
