PLEDGE is the 3rd single by Arc Dakota, a female-fronted alt-rock band based in Belfast, with members from 3 continents: Olga (vocals), Colin (guitar), Juani (drums), Aaron (bass).
It is the song they open their live shows with, as the 'meaty' riffs proudly announce their arrival and sets the scene for the rest of the gig.
PLEDGE deals with the human impact of war and the separation faced by families caught up in conflict without the knowledge of when they may see each other again.
Tinged with melancholy, PLEDGE is ultimately a hopeful and positive song, trusting that the promises and commitments made, will one day be fulfilled through reunification. But until that day comes, life must continue onwards as the final outcome remains the hands of others.
Lyrics to PLEDGE, written by Colin H
Outside shadows stretch
Across the ground
Inside the silent pledge
Without a sound
Across the ground
Inside the silent pledge
Without a sound
The day of your return
Many years from
Until the final bow
Life goes on somehow
Many years from
Until the final bow
Life goes on somehow
By the last rays of sun
And before the morning comes
We tie up our hearts
The night grew so cold
In each other's arms we hold
Tight to our lives
And before the morning comes
We tie up our hearts
The night grew so cold
In each other's arms we hold
Tight to our lives
Above silver skies
Blackened by the fires
Tragic fairytales
Feed the lies
Blackened by the fires
Tragic fairytales
Feed the lies
Masked reality
Pawns in someone's strife
Future hesitates
By their fate's design
Pawns in someone's strife
Future hesitates
By their fate's design
By the last rays of sun
And before the morning comes
We tie up our hearts
The night grew so cold
In each other's arms we hold
Tight to our lives
And before the morning comes
We tie up our hearts
The night grew so cold
In each other's arms we hold
Tight to our lives
The night opens up our scars and tells us
Exactly who we are
In the cold light of day
When your touch so far away
I can't forget
That silent pledge we made
Exactly who we are
In the cold light of day
When your touch so far away
I can't forget
That silent pledge we made
By the last rays of sun
And before the morning comes
We tie up our hearts
In the midst of the pain
Our shattered dreams remain
Tied to our lives
And before the morning comes
We tie up our hearts
In the midst of the pain
Our shattered dreams remain
Tied to our lives
