Light became shadow
Shadow sought light
In the end, they return to Orion’s Promise
In a nameless sky, the story began
One light divided into two
One chose dreams, the other chose power
So naturally, the choice was made
It was to return to one
To return to the same Source
Time passed, and they came to see
The shape of their wishes was not the same
Strength to protect
Weakness to heal
Their beliefs drifted apart
And night crept in, turning them away
Under the banner of justice, swords were raised
In the shadow of fear, shields were lifted
Soon, voices were swallowed by silence
And kindness lost its place to go
Eyes that once shone in the distance—
Now, they are simply targets in the dark
With every clash, sound disappeared
No answer remained in either heart
Only darkness quietly spread
Even meaning fell into the dark
Softly, they remembered
From deep within—
The forgotten light returned
Time passed again, and they remembered
Though no words were spoken, their eyes still spoke
Even far apart, their lights
Were, they realized, each other’s wish
Even without names or faces
Their memories trembled and resonated
Light and shadow—once the same radiant flame—
They remembered, and returned
Even in difference, even in likeness
Their wishes overlapped, and became song
It was like the beginning, but not the same
A light more beautiful than before
A light more beautiful than all
No longer shadow
No longer light
Only one song remains: Orion’s Promise

"Orion's Promise" is a lyrical journey through division, conflict, memory, and reunion-a mythic tale woven into music, where two lights born from one source travel far only to remember what they truly are.
Unlike an epic battle song or a triumphant declaration, "Orion's Promise" unfolds with quiet gravity and emotional precision. It begins in a nameless sky, where a single light splits into two-one drawn to dreams, the other to power. Their paths diverge not out of malice, but from the natural unfolding of difference. Yet even as their beliefs clash and silence takes the place of words, something deeper remains.
Across six verses, the song traces the arc from separation to resonance. Symbols like swords and shields represent not only defense and confrontation, but also the fear of vulnerability. And yet, through each moment of conflict, a shared origin lingers beneath the surface-unspoken, but never lost. As time moves, memory returns. The song reveals that even when appearances change and names are forgotten, the light within continues to call out.
When they meet again, it is not through resolution or apology, but through recognition. They are not the same-but they no longer need to be. The chorus of their shared longing becomes a single song. The promise of Orion, once forgotten, is fulfilled not through perfection, but through the beauty of becoming whole while remaining distinct.
"Orion's Promise" is a musical reflection for those who have felt divided within themselves or from others. It speaks to the quiet reconciliation that comes not from force, but from remembrance. The final words, "Only one song remains: Orion's Promise," are not an ending, but a soft return to the truth that was always there.
This is music for souls in transition.
For those who have wandered far and are ready to return-not to where they were, but to who they are.
Let it remind you that even in difference, harmony is possible.
That the journey back is not a retreat, but a rising.
And that the most beautiful light is the one that remembers where it came from.
