We were fooled in the beginning,
in a town that felt like hell.

Chasing shadows in the moonlight,
where the heartaches seemed to dwell.

Drunk on dreams and false ambitions,
we would sing the brighter days,
but the whiskey and the bright lights,
drowned our faith in smoky haze.

Oh, the prominence above us held the promises we missed.

We were lost in our desires,
bound to false gods in the midst.

Now the echoes call my name,
and I wonder if they know,
that the love we had was real,
but we let it slip and go.

I remember summer evenings with your laughter by the lake.

We would watch the stars twinkle,
and the fireflies start to wait.

But the more we chased the fortune,
the more we wandered from the light.

Praying truth for shining treasures in the silence of the night.

Oh, the prominence above us held the promises we missed.

We were lost in our desires,
bound to false gods in the midst.

Now the echoes call my name,
and I wonder if they know that the love we had was real,
but we let it slip and go.

Years have passed like distant thunder.

Now I'm standing all alone,
in the city full of strangers,
where the streets have turned to stone.

I can taste the dust of heartaches,
feel the weight of every lie,
as I search for signs of meaning,
underneath this empty sky.

Oh, the prominence above us held the promises we missed.

We were lost in our desires,
bound to false gods in the midst.
