Promised Land - DiS CoN NeC TeD

Promised Land

Watching the sand fall, listening for the knock
upon my door, and waiting... for Promised Land.

Standing neck deep in life, my ring of brass
lay rusting in the floor. Is this all?
Cause it's not what I expected.

Somewhere along the way
friends I once held close
fled the fast lane.
I didn't notice, I just had to make it.
Head down, nose to the groundstone;
the kiss of life, placed on my brow...
kept sliddin' to the ground...
now it's buried six feet under.

Preachin from the floor again
the same old sad song,
"Bartender, bring another drink for their favorite son."

Where did it all go wrong?
What's the use in even holding on?
Here's to love, hate; Promises and... lies.

Almost called it today.
Turned to face "The Void", numb with the suffering...
and the question: "Why Am I...?

So many times I've tried and failed
to gather my courage, reach again for that nail.
Life's been like draggin' feet through sand,
and never finding.... MY PROMISED LAND.

Preaching from the floor again
the same old sad song,
"Bartender, bring another drink for their favorite son."

Where did it all go wrong?
I FEEL LIKE I'M DYING.

Here's to LOVE! Here's to HATE!
To PROMISES and... Promised Land LIES.

Everywhere... I see decay. Mechanized and sterilized... visions in replay.
I must... release... my... RAGE.
