Noblesse

All is nothing trapped within this cold gloom
Slipping away, memories decay so painfully
Gentle reveille, soft as wind, you call to me
Dawn is breaking, flowers blooming, I wake at last

Past mistakes, they gnaw away at me
For reasons I can’t recall
But this apprehension won’t prevail
When you smile, doubts fall away – I can face it all

I will go on – never forget
The oath we made beneath that burning sky
Guarding the hope you gave to me
A small but shining light
I won’t give in – never submit
To those challenges thought impossible
Even in shadows vast and bleak
Your glow shall show me the way

Skies dyed scarlet fade to dark ‘bove you and I
Our prayers tonight passionately rise to the stars

My duties, at times, are far too much to bear
All the vows I made to keep
But these hinderances won’t prevail
Thinking of you, it lifts me up – I can fly

I will go on – never forget
The oath we made beneath that burning sky
Guarding the hope you gave to me
A small but shining light
I won’t give in – never submit
To those challenges thought impossible
Even in shadows vast and bleak
Your glow shall show me the way

Our moment is now, my hand in yours
Kindling new flames

This pledge is written in my blood
These blades I wield just for you

Though we’re apart, I can be sure
Destiny will guide our hearts back together

When the promised day comes at last
Call out to me once again
