The Promise Of Never

On a darkened day, I did receive
The letter did say, I must return
I asked myself - could this be real
In disbelief, my hands did shiver
She feared the worst -I had to leave
The promise I made, I would return

The promise I made to you
A promise I will keep
Believe me when I tell you
That I will return from war
I would not betray you, I did not deceive
Unless death finds me first

Oh lord above,
Deliver us all from evil (the battle is lost)
Take the darkness away (no more)
This is where i go when all is lost (bow to me)

I had to leave my unborn child
Devoted wife, to serve my king
Called to war -I had to be strong
My heart did break. Her tears did speak
I bid farewell, our hearts entwined
Eternal love, I promised to return

Our last kiss this night
At dawn I bid good bye

Engulfed in guilt.
My heart is weary
Each step I take wears me down
The oath by which I’m bound
This promise will not break me
