She made me give my promise
A terrifying promise
It's not the kind of promise
Made every day
To desecrate a temple
To trample on a flower
To catch a butterfly
And simply tear off its wings
It's worse than all of these things
To dim the sun
Before the summer ends
To burn the castle down
Before the princess is awake
To kill our love
When it's still so alive
I would not do it
My heart would break
But I have given her my word
And if the time should come
I will do what I must
How could I
To dim the sun
Before the summer ends
To burn the castle down
Before the princess is awake
To kill our love
When it's still so alive
I'll keep my word and
My heart will break
I'll keep my word
And my heart will break
