Queensryche - Promised Land Lyrics
Watching the sand fall, listening for the knockUpon my door,And waiting... for promised land.Standing neck deep in life,My ring of brass lay rusting on the floor.Is this all?Because its not what I expected.Somewhere along the wayFriends I once held close fled the fast lane.I didnt notice, I just had to make it.Head down, nose in the grindstone;The kiss of life placed on my browKept sliddin to the groundAnd now its buried six feet under.Preaching from the floor againThe same old sad song,Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son.Where did it all go wrong?Whats the use in even holding on?Heres to love, hate... and promises.Almost called it today.Turned to face the voidNumb with the sufferingAnd the question,Why am i...?So many times Ive tried and failed toGather my courage, reach again for that nail.Lifes been likeDragging feet through sand,And never finding... promised land.Preaching from the floor againThe same old sad song,Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite song.Where did it all go wrong?I feel like Im dying.Heres to love, to hate,To promises and promised land lies.
