If you promise me all the ills that plague your mind and your heart
Then I'd swallow them whole and expire
If you promise me that this world is mine in all of its charm
Then l'd take it and tear it all apart
At that moment you'll wake from your dreams
Alone and unharmed
If you promise me
Yet you tell me in soft and whispered tones a truth and a lie
And the damage cannot be denied
If you'd promise me that all you need is to love and to survive
To be gathered in the arms of the Lord of light
