Story behind the song

Broken Promise is a confrontational reflection on the relationship between religious promises, conquest, and violence. It questions whether an ancient promise can justify war and suffering in its pursuit.

Lyrics

Have you read the old book yet? Have you read what he said? He made a promise big and bold, What promise did he ever hold? What he told them, Was to conquer, burn and slaughter, Take the women, kill them all, Is that who you are praying after? I say, no, no more war, No more conquest, no more gore, For a kingdom in the making, And a promise, they are still waiting for. A promise, they are still waiting for. Have you read the old book yet? Have you read what he said? He made a promise big and bold, What promise did he ever hold? They cling to his promised plan, And like a wolf dressed as a sheep, They use defence to gain, But not defence to keep. I say, no, no more war, No more conquest, no more gore, For a kingdom in the making, And a promise, they are still waiting for. A promise, they are still waiting for. Have you read the old book yet? Have you read what he said? I say, no, no more war, No more conquest, no more gore, For a kingdom in the making, And a promise, they are still waiting for.
