Promise For Me

'Beware of the quiet one', my ma used to say

The one who stays watching, 'til time comes to pay

Push it and push it, push it some more

Soon you'll find out, what they have in store

Watch out for the quiet one, ma used to say

Eye for an eye

The whole world goes blind

Drop it and just walk away

Put down the gun

What's done here is done

Drop it and just walk away

When push came to shove, one cold winter's day

She called his bluff, the hunter now prey

Push it and push it and push it some more

Straight through the chest bone and into the floor

'Watch out for the quiet one', my ma used to say

An eye for an eye

The whole world goes blind

Drop it, just walk away

Nowhere to run, what's done here is done

Vengeance, a debt you can't pay

'Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees'

Who was it who said that and did they get free?

I'll keep it in mind when the jacks come for me

Tell my babies I love them, promise for me

Promise for me

Eye for an eye

The whole world goes blind

Drop it and just walk away

Nowhere to run

What's done here is done

Leave it, just turn away

Turn away

'Beware of the quiet one', our ma used to say

The one who be waiting for their turn to play
