Numan, Gary - The Promise Lyrics






Is this the Rapture that I gave my life for?
It seems a small thing, not what I hoped for
Is this forgiveness for the sins that haunt me?
So why does guilt feel strangely familiar?

Is this the heaven that you said awaits me?
I just see empty, nothing and no-one
Is this the promise that the faithful prayed for?
I'd call you liar, but can you hear me?

If you could call out my name
If you could call out my name
If you could call out my name
If you could call out my name
If you could call out my name

If you could call out my name

If you could call, I'd believe

  21. M.... M....

    Beautiful work, big fan. Smart man with a beautiful family.

  22. w.... ....

    I am 36 now, and of course i knew a few songs of yours before, but this album...amazing! Congratulations! From now on i will listen all of the albums you released. But first of all i have to stop listening Savage album...somehow, ...i just can't stop listening it :)

  23. I.... ....

    Damn, the power of this song... and the voice

    I.... ....

    IassassinIam it’s addictive

  24. D.... D....

    Great musicians !

  25. i.... N....

    love this

  26. S.... ....

    Big fan of his first two albums, he paved the way for Trent etc. It's hard to bring a electronic sound to a climax but he found a way. I'm just happy knowing and remembering friends looking at me thinking...what the hell is this?

  27. J.... B....

    Just keeps adding to his brilliant legacy of songs, haunting, right in your face, rocking, futuristic punch of otherworldlyness, been loving all this Numan stuff over the past several years, he's on a creative roll, awesome in the Boston concerts, seems destine for soundtrack work, he is so creative, love this band as well, and he is such nice guy, got to meet and greet, priceless...

  28. S.... R....

    Good job!

  29. s.... f....

    Can I use the long way down soundtrack please? If yes thanks, if not I understand

  30. P.... ....

    Absolutely brilliant.

  31. M.... ....

    I've seen Aesop Rock, God Damn Gallows, Slipknot/Korn, Blue October, and Gary Numan at concert. While Blue October is my favorite Chilldhood band, Numan is that "first hard crush" you discover later in life, and is BY FAR the BEST live show I have ever seen.

    This man can fucking rock the stage for hours. It's the best show i've seen. I hope he comes back to southern U.S. again.

    M.... ....

    Yes! Well said

  32. P.... S....

    I just love the mix of synth and raving guitar! So Gary!!!!

  33. d.... ....

    Mr.Numan you are wonderful.

  34. M.... W....

    My fav of new songs posted

  35. R.... C....

    Thank you

  36. l.... c....

    Love love love it !!!

  37. G.... W....

    Gary is on such a creative high at the moment.... I'm enjoying the ride with him... X

  38. P.... ....

    I'd love it if Gary did some work with Heilung (check them out if you haven't already), I think it would work ?

  39. S.... N....

    Fabulous as always. X.

  40. L.... C....

    Phenomenal! Now THIS is music! Can't wait for Glasgow!!!

    L.... C....

    NUMAN at his best just gets better with age cant wait for glasgow gig

  41. 1.... 2....

    Found this newer stuff because Chris Corner from IAMX liked one of your videos. Anyone who likes Gary Numan's new music from Savage should definitely check out IAMX and Sneaker Pimps.

    1.... 2....

    Of course IAMX liked one of his videos, he filmed Gary Numan´s "My name is Ruin".

    1.... 2....

    I wasn't aware.

    1.... 2....

    GOOD ADVICE

    1.... 2....

    @FOCO Official Channel Filmed "I Am Dust" too, I believe!

  42. J.... T....

    Wowwww.

  43. J.... D....

    It sounds exactly like Haunted from Jagged (y)

  44. D.... P....

    Thank you Gary: your music goes from strenght to strenght! Great output, outstanding vocals and best production, dare I say it, even way better than anything done in the early days. Great keyboards and electronics in there, mixed with some good guitars! Epic vibe to the whole track that sends chills down your spine!
    Roll on the NLB's still stuck in 1980!!

  45. D.... F....

    Gary Numan is far the best artist out there now this is such a powerful song love this so much.

  46. P.... C....

    Epic song. Just the right amount of heavy. Well, almost the right amount! :-)

  47. S.... S....

    Looking forward to Cardiff on Monday...gonna be an awesome spectacle.

  48. X.... D....

    Sick trick! We need a Fortnite skin for this look!

  49. G.... R....

    Guitar riff sounds similar to the riff in Haunted on Jagged Edge

  50. B.... C....

    Big ballsy Numan! Keep this style, ditch APFTU, Lost and You Walk In My Soul drivel.

  51. c.... p....

    now we are talking , more like this and you know pick it up a dash

  52. P.... ....

    Is this the rapture that I gave my life for?
    It's such a small thing, not what I'd hoped for
    Is this forgiveness for the sins that haunt me?
    So why'd this guilt feel strangely familiar?


    Is this the heaven that you said awaits me?
    I just see empty, nothing and no one
    Is this the promise that the faithful pray for?
    I'd call you liar, but can you hear me?


    If you could call out my name
    If you could call out my name
    If you could call out my name
    If you could call out my name
    If you could call out my name

    If you could call out my name

    If you could call, I'd believe

    P.... ....

    @PureExile Good catch, those parts are not easy to hear through the instruments.

    P.... ....

    Hey, bro'. It wasn't meant as a correction; just a more concise version with a couple of alterations which help put Numan's point across I think. I don't know the exact lyrics myself!

    P.... ....

    @PureExile I'm pretty sure you got it 100%.

    P.... ....

    I want to hear his smile again -TheApsylum

    P.... ....

  64. W.... L....

    Music for the future of humanity 👍

    W.... L....

    "Jagged" album feels like vampyric view of the new age world!

  65. s.... w....

    Like Haunted and another track from Jagged combined ,but that's a good thing cause Jagged was a great album.I like this track a lot .

  66. N.... G....

    Brilliant as always

  70. A.... C....

    Great and big Song

  71. G.... Q....

    Love it. Very apocalyptic or even post apocalyptic with industrial undertones. Another great song.

    G.... Q....

    According to Numan, Savage is basically snapshots from a post-apocalyptic book he's working on.

    G.... Q....

    @PureSplinterRising that is awesome!

    Sounds like a mix of the Pure and Jagged albums.

    R.... H....

    Yes sounds a bit like melt but better

    R.... H....

    @ghostnation
    I'm sure 2:30 was a definite nod to "Before You Hate It"

  78. P.... C....
