"Promise" is the third song from the Devin Townsend compilation Ass-Sordid Demos, released in 2000.
Liner Notes[]
Man, Promise and Red Tomorrow are all re-makes of stuff I did around 1990. I put these versions on because they sounded like they had more effort put into them and were more like what I heard in my head. Man appeared on the first Noisescapes demo that originally got the attention of Steve Vai and Relativity Records.

Lyrics[]
3:15 AM
Awake
...sweat lights fly by outside,
Damn it, it's hot in here...
It's so hot...
...too hot to sleep
All I need...
Black on black,
The red burns
3:15 AM
...rises, beside, behind...
It's easier to sleep,
It happened,
...there's nothing I can do about it.
All I need I am finished now,
I am full,
I am ugly,
I am your promise.
