Love once tolled its bells And lured my lips to drink from tainted wells My tongue learned poison's taste No kiss removes the trace
Skies once filled with light And blinded our perception of the night The stars we were assigned In haste, found their decline
Oh, oh All the promises we made were lies we told Oh, oh What's to come will never be a band of gold A band of gold
Green once grew our path And cut our legs on razor blades of grass The years trod down in mud Decayed and drained of blood
Vows once held their own And bound my breath to chains that sank like stones \"To have, and to hold\" Those words now leave me cold
Oh, oh All the promises we made were lies we told Oh, oh What's to come will never be a band of gold A band of gold
So long, and ever far away All traces of the hope once shared Now left to rot inside a shallow grave \"To have, and to hold\" Those words now leave me cold
Oh, oh All the promises we made were lies we told Oh, oh What's to come will never be a band of gold A band of gold Oh, oh All the promises were broken and untrue Oh, oh What's to come will never be borrowed or blue Borrowed or blue
