the promise  

bir within temptation şarkısı.

on behalf of her love
she no longer sleeps
life no longer had meaning
nothing to make her stay
she sold her soul away

i held you tight to me
but you slipped away
you promised to return to me
and i believed, i believed

after the night he died
i wept my tears until they dried
but the pain stayed the same
i didn't want him to die all in vain
i made a promise to revenge his soul in time
i'll make them bleed at my feet

sometimes i wonder
could i have known their true intentions?
as the pain stayed the same
i'm going to haunt them down all the way
i made a promise to revenge his soul in time
one by one they were surprised

2004 yılında çıkan, an itibariyle vaya con dios'un son albümü.

yorgun bir şekilde eve geldiyseniz dinlendirecek ,tatlı tatlı uyutacak tracy chapman şarkısıdır.

if you wait for me then i'll come for you
although i've traveled far
i always hold a place for you in my heart
if you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile
then i'll return to you
i'll return and fill that space in your heart
remembering
your touch
your kiss
your warm embrace
i'll find my way back to you
if you'll be waiting
if you dream of me like i dream of you
in a place that's warm and dark
in a place where i can feel the beating of your heart

remembering
your touch
your kiss
your warm embrace
i'll find my way back to you
if you'll be waiting
i've longed for you and i have desired
to see your face your smile
to be with you wherever you are

remembering
your touch
your kiss
your warm embrace
i'll find my way back to you
if you'll be waiting
i've longed for you and i have desired
to see your face, your smile
to be with you wherever you are

remembering
your touch
your kiss
your warm embrace
i'll find my way back to you
please say you'll be waiting

together again
it would feel so good to be
in your arms
where all my journeys end
if you can make a promise if it's one that you can keep, i vow to come for you
if you wait for me and say you'll hold
a place for me in your heart.

novembre isimli italyan grubun 2006 tarihinde çıkan materia albümünün 8. (sekizinci) parçası. şarkının orjinali arcadia'ya ait. novembre cover yapmış. ama ne cover, öyle böyle değil. sen de aç bir kere dinle. elektronik gitar, bateri falan. güzel şeyler bunlar. ama last fm de ya da deezer da falan dinleme. bazı mallar şarkının isminin altına aynı grubun croma isimli şarkısını koymuş. o şarkı da güzel. ama bu ayrı bir güzel. sözleri:

whose tears on a gaping voice
who's stretching arms match
the hunger of mine
these lips will they never join
but always draw me closer
and further entwined
with a promise dealer understand
all freedoms fade away
to a point of view
where many different pathways meet
and we're standing on this precipice
with nothing much to save
but the deep blue screams
of falling dreams
with our next move

heavens hide your eyes
heaven's eyes will never dry

the shades of a thousand steel
come flashing by my face
in the fury of war
in desolation and abandoned fields
the hungry make their stand
when they'll stand for no more
hear the passion in their voices
see the heaven in their eyes
their hopes and schemes are waiting
dreams of less than paradise
and sometimes we make promises
we never mean to keep
for blackmail is the only deal
a promise dealer sees

heavens hide your eyes
heaven's eyes will never dry

offerings adlı 1998 çıkışlı vas albümünün en nâdide parçalarından. dinleyip de azam ali'nin sesine âşık olmamak elde değil..
