Analysis of The Promise
George Chow 1976 (台灣)
Many times,
I testify the meanings of holy.
How i avoid the cosmic war..
then was i alone.
Walking outside.
Hearing my herds the way we met.
signs of hints left on the streets night.
mares of contagious parent's short life.
how they excuse by their tongue.
to my ways of the ends.
The soul betray the body.
The body composed all that feels.
More then you can tell me the promise.
such can not be easy fade.
The holy spirit counting the lost demons.
I be at home and bed on time.
