Megadeth - Promises Lyrics






[Dave Mustaine / Al Pitrelli]

Two hearts that shouldn't
Talk to each other become close
In a town much like a prison cell

People speak our names
On the street in hushed tones
Oh the stories they'd tell
If anyone would listen

You come from a town where
People don't bother saying hello
Unless somebody's born or dies

And I come from a place where they
Drag your hopes through the mud
Because their own dreams are all dying

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

There's so many fighting
To get past the Pearly Gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Their intentions aren't that good
And I can smell the asphalt
That's their personal road to hell being paved

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

[Solo - Pitrelli / Solo - Mustaine]

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

[String arrangement - Suzie Katayama]

    I'm think of my girlfriend Kayla (Kitty) wherever I listen to this song. She was killed by a drunk driver in early March of 2019. We'll meet in the next life if I have to destroy heaven & hell to make it happen, this I promise. Rest In Peace my love.

    Guitar solo is perfect.

  13. M.... B....

    this song makes me cry because I always think about what gay men face and so many follow the life society wants and break their loves down...life is too short, stay with the one that loves you... <3 I dedicate the song of Manowar "Heart of steel" to you...

  14. C.... P....

    tam içmelik şarkı :/

  15. T.... M....

    Eu realmente acreditei que ficaríamos juntos, mas em relação ao amor as coisas são muito delicadas e podem se desfazer em instantes. Após muitos anos ainda sinto sua falta, ninguém foi capaz de preencher o vazio que ficou quando você se foi. Meu coração se parte ao perceber que ainda te amo.
    Essa música me faz reviver tudo que tivemos, como não posso te falar isso, simplesmente deixo as palavras ao vento.

  16. L.... W....

    Megadeth bir harika adamım

  17. e.... m....

    I wanted you to hate me because they you treating me with complete apathy. It's been a year. Please get out of my head I want to move on with my life. I don't want to be missing you anymore. I'm tired of it.

    b.... 1....

    Indeed. Let's pray for the GOAT.

  22. P.... M....

    Ses değil bira verelim kardeşim 😂

  32. F.... B....

    DENİZ ÜNAL

  33. T.... K....

    Ulan bu şarkıyıda ayrıyken sana armağan etmiştim.

  34. T.... B....

    Beautiful <3

  35. j.... ....

    Was close with a muslim girl years back. Very strict family, had to keep it secret from her family since I myself am not religious and they would rather have 'strongly suggested' a marriage for her themselves. This song will probably remind me of that relationship for the rest of my life.

  36. E.... T....

    Underrated asf

  37. M.... ....

    When Dave Mustaine wants to slow down and make something melodic and emotional he fucking nails it

  38. D.... ....

    It somehow perfectly describes my past love life; I still love the person, but it wasn't meant for us in this life. We are still good friends, but we have to move on. If things would be slightly different we would get old together.

  39. a.... c....

    yeah, i feel this so much. i love you angela, even though we've never been together. i've found the girl of my dreams and i never want to lose you.

  40. W.... ....

    this is a masterpiece.this is a perfection.congratulations megadeth.

  41. T.... ....

    _GAAAAAAAAAAAAY._



    lol j/k, I quite like Dave's sentimental songs. My favorite is probably Sealed With A Kiss.

  42. a.... c....

    this guy is an absolute idol to me. all the crap he's been through and still here to tell us not to do the same as he did. heroin is the biggest enemy to all of mankind.

  43. M.... A....

    We live in different countries.. idk what to do.

  44. M.... A....

    Bazı insanlar başka şehirlerde yaşar biz farklı ülkelerde yaşıyoruz bu nedir...

  45. S.... L....

    sharp pierce through my heart

  46. J.... ....

    Great song

  47. J.... R....

    What I don't see any love for Al Pitrelli. he co wrote the music for this song.

  48. A.... S....

    I love this song!😍

  49. I.... d....

    The sad thing about this song is.....Heaven does not exist

  50. S.... L....

    Will never get tired of megadeth!

  51. M.... K....

    Bu adami sevmeyenin aminakoyum

  52. M.... K....

    Bu adami sevmeyenin aminakoyum

    M.... K....

    fikrim yok

  53. D.... M....

    2018 anyone?

  54. E.... C....

  63. J.... ....

    Nostalgic as FUCK!!!

    ..there's no turning back... I PROMISE🖤

    J.... ....

    Im 15... but thanks to my older brother this is making me nostalgic... happy that im not listening to the BS other teenagers listen to... a song 13 years old but better than everthing that gets released today

  64. V.... R....

    I think all Megadeth ballad has depressing lyrics... Time the begining/the end, A tout le monde, In my darkest hour, Promises, Hardest part of letting go, Forget to remember

  65. D.... K....

    fucking beautiful!!!!!
    fuck yeah!!!

  66. D.... K....

    fucking beautiful!!!!!
    fuck yeah!!!

  67. e.... c....

    I will meet you in the next life, I promise you.
    Where we can be together, I promise you.

    Great song its of my favorites.

  68. M.... N....

    people should hear the song Promises by Overkill

  69. J.... H....

    my funeral song

  70. D.... W....

    underrated as fuck, possibly better than a tout le monde

    D.... W....

    @Jacob sSs 3.20 pitrelli solo sucks

    D.... W....

    not better than atout le monde for sure

    D.... W....

    @:DD D I can agree about the solo. A tout le monde solo destroys! But the whole song isn't better

    D.... W....

    i wouldn't say this song is a tout le monde level but its up there

    D.... W....

    'The Hardest Part of Letting Go... Sealed with a Kiss' is another way-underrated metal ballad by this band.

  71. O.... S....

    Did anyone see that Al Pitrelli was the main writer on this song?

    O.... S....

    Yes, he co written this song.

  72. S.... L....

    Masterpiece!

  73. J.... H....

    this is definitely my funeral song

    J.... H....

    Jason Henderson umm this is a love song

    J.... H....

    Can't be mine because no one loves me

  74. A.... F....

    toper de linha

  75. T.... ....

    i just want to cry to this song because it's so perfect

  76. a.... ....

    The chorus shares some certain similarities with a pop song called "black black heart", doesn't it?

  77. T.... P....

    one of the best ballads ever write i promis.....

  78. _.... k....

    Bu şarkıyı aynı kulaklıktan dinleyeli 4 sene oldu
    Eda seni özlüyorum...

  79. K.... K....

    Dave Mustaines my Hero. I will meet him in the Next Life

    K.... K....

    ??? You talk like he was dead or something lol

    K.... K....

    In the future he will die. Won't he? Won't you?

    K.... K....

    Oh.. too soon.

  80. n.... ....

    Darling,

    If we can't be close anymore, I know deep in my heart, we were meant to be together.
    We will meet in our next life, and never more I'll let life drift us apparts
    If I could see you again, If you could think about what happened
    You'd know this was just a bad time, because we we're more than that
    I promise, we we're more than darkness and bad moods
    We we're one and hopefull, we had the same dreams
    People go throught, I believe in you
    Please, I still love you
    And I feel, you do

    n.... ....

    nicxtrem21 It's a song or you wrote that?

    And people say Metallica sold out. I mean yeah the new megadeth album is better than St Anger. But even the new album isn't all that great.

    S.... ....

    n484251 idk the songs were lacking the megadeth feelings. they wanted to be aggressive but it came off kinda pathetic to me personally.

    S.... ....

    Dystopia has some really good tracks

    S.... ....

    Skullsplitter can you please tell me what album this is

    S.... ....

    metallica mhm this song is on the world needs a hero

    S.... ....

    IvanVallebona its absolytely stupid to compare them...just for one minute try to compare rust in peace with and justice for all or master of puppets...you just cant..or even worse..peace sells to ride the lightning...you cant compare different shit...its just your opinion....better keep it for yourself because as you probably have seen many ppl cant respect it....i try to do so...

  88. T.... G....

    And people say he has a shitty voice...

    T.... G....

    Idk how to feel about that passive aggressive comment xD

    T.... G....

    Clayla's personal road to hell, being PAVED.  Come back, love, when the fear is gone.

  90. 8.... ....

    Great song! Perfect words!

  91. E.... W....

    3:23 - Best part. Kind of surprising, because it sounds a lot like a Marty solo--slightly exotic with a Japanese flavor to it. Wonder if it was inspired by him at all?

    E.... W....

    @Lemony Flavor Dunno why it reminds of the solo from insomnia

    E.... W....

    +Vincent Vega the solo isnt played by friedman Pitrelli plays it. In my opinion his better.

    E.... W....

    +Kuba Bednarczyk Huh, I didn't know that. I guess it really does sound like a Friedman solo, had me fooled all this time hahah

  92. M.... ....

    This is the most beautiful song in the world. No matter how times I listened, it's just perfect.

    M.... ....

    Miyu i agree, beautiful song... tingly feeling in my spine when i listen to it

    M.... ....

    Miyu it is pretty awesome. First time I heard it , I fell in love with it.

    M.... ....

    I wonder if you still have the same opinion

    M.... ....

    Its a good song, relax broo

    M.... ....

    When I hard this I was like holy shit. Dave has a soul lol and I mean that as in cares, and puts passion into the music

  93. T.... ....

    Really cool song.
