The Promiser Lyrics - Conception

Voices from a TV screen 

Breathing down your neck 

A man without a face 

Don't be surprised my friend 

He knows how to talk 

He knows how to collect 

The voices he needs, so bad 

Hear him praising the Lord 

Whom he's always renounced 

Promise to walk along, hand in hand 

With those who pay the price 

Promise you'll fight with us 

Last in line beyond the barricades 

Fatherly he grins to grain 

The masses' good will 

We have seen it all before 

Hailed be his naive attempt 

Many trust his lies 

But words are cold comfort 

When election day is past 

See the glint in his eyes 

Dreams of dollars and dimes 

Promise to walk along, hand in hand 

With those who pay the price 

Promise you'll fight with us 

Last in line beyond the barricades 

I'm the kind who will pledge 

My words, born to be honest and chaste 

Promise to walk along, hand in hand 

With those who pay the price 

Promise you'll fight with us 

Last in line beyond the barricades
