Promised Land

Oceans of fire filled the sky
And forced me to make up my mind

Tortured and dying and killed for too long
I vow that I will not stay
Whispers and promises of paradise lost
Echoed but now fade away

I walked the path of life
But slowed my pace to see
If my path was right
And what was meant to be

Light of Day upon me
Helps me find my way
And helps to justify the loss
For those who die today

My fate has yet to guide me
And take me by the hand
And bring to life forsaken dreams
Lead me to the Promised Land
