Krypteria - 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)
