question about lyrics

I was lisning to the song belowand can't understand why the last part is "promises broken".
If it is "broken promises", doesn't it make sense?

(Pink Floyd - Sorrow)
There’s an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there’s dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken ?here

Shinta If it is "broken promises", doesn't it make sense? It would make just as much sense, but it presumably does not fit the rhythm or meter of the song as well.
