[Verse]
Saw a shadow in the night
Judah's son in his plight
Promises made in the haze
Lost now in forgotten days
[Verse 2]
Er's wife cast aside
Tamar cries but none provide
Empty vows they twist and turn
Lonely fire starts to burn
[Chorus]
Where does justice hide
Broken words they ride
Promises fade in shame
Who will take the blame
[Verse 3]
Onan's treachery found
Life spilled on cold hard ground
Left her with nothing but pain
Tears fall like unforgiving rain
[Bridge]
Shalt's name in whispered lies
Desperation in her eyes
Hope buried in the dust
Cries of a broken trust
[Verse 4]
A waiting game in bleak despair
Shelah's name in empty air
Judah's vow so hollow and bare
Truth hidden without a care
