From the day I made that vow
I was trapped inside a darkness with no end
Beneath the stars, I simply prayed
Begging for someone to protect her voice
Chosen as a sacrifice
On the day fate called her name
My sister was taken away
For her light, I gave up all I had—
And stepped into the unknown
I searched for the reason we were born
In the dream where you smiled at me
Just calling me “Big Brother”
Was all I ever needed
They claimed to hear the voice of god
But no one truly ever did
Beyond the glowing halls of white
The truest night was hiding still
Behind the world we thought we knew
Lurked shadows wrapped in holy cloth
Those who turned their eyes away
Were singing songs of justice loud
“You’re not alone,” you told me once—
I’m still holding your hand from that day
No matter how deep the night may be
If you can hear me, then carry my voice
Oh stars, carve out the answer—
My sister’s wish must not be lost
All I want is to protect her
Even if I turn the world against me
Even if I’m never forgiven
Even if I must pay with my own life
Inside the sacred words she gave
Were footprints made of silent tears
Even if it meant she’d be hurt
Her wish held up the very world
The final prayer she ever sang
Was kinder than the voice of god
For a moment of warmth
She silenced a million songs
There are things that can’t be brought back-
But this is not the end
Even if I’m left alone
I’ll reach my hand through this night
She smiled without a single word
And her last words pierced through my soul:
“If you say you’ll save the world
Then please, save my wish as well.”
Even lost, I keep walking on
I told a lie for the sake of love
If “to save” means “to destroy,”
And sorrow is the price we pay -
Then let the gods bear witness now
This is the choice I make alone
The light of prayer that faded away
Its warmth still ties the world together
Even if we can’t be side by side
Your voice from that day still guides my way
Oh sister
For you alone
I said goodbye to the world
And now it begins -
From a single wish, everything will change
Even if no one ever knows
That your prayer once lived right here
I will go on singing it forever
