The promise

He said:
Just sign your name across the dotted line
And take advantage of the goods I have to offer
It won't cost you much
Just a single drop of blood
And I'll hand you the things you have long been wishing for

It's an easy way to choose
What do you have to lose?

Will I fall?
(Opulentiam aeternam gloriamque te promitto)
Will I stand tall?
(Quidquid agis prudenter agas et respice finem)
Will I fall?
(Venustatem infinitam gloriamque te promitto)
Will I stand or fall?
(Quidquid agis prudenter agas et respice finem)

Should I sign and end this lifelong string of broken dreams of failure
Shattered hopes of trials and tribulations?
It won't cost a thing
All the world will hear me sing
And I'd have all the riches
The fame and everything

It's an easy way to choose
What do I have to lose?

Will I fall?
(Opulentiam aeternam gloriamque te promitto)
Will I stand tall?
(Quidquid agis prudenter agas et respice finem)
Will I fall?
(Venustatem infinitam gloriamque te promitto)
Will I stand or fall?
(Quidquid agis prudenter agas et respice finem)

Should I sign and blindly dance along the piper's tune
Or should I rather trust my inner voice to guide me?
I don't own a lot
But I still got one last shot
So do I need to believe in a promise and its seed?

Am I willing to choose
When it's myself I could lose?

Will I fall?
(Opulentiam aeternam gloriamque te promitto)
Will I stand tall?
(Quidquid agis prudenter agas et respice finem)
Will I fall?
(Venustatem infinitam gloriamque te promitto)
Will I stand or fall?
(Quidquid agis prudenter agas et respice finem)
