Lyric

Oath at Dawn

Justin Otani

The dawn wind softly brushes my face

The sleeping forest starts to wake

Embracing all the days I’ve lost

I take the sword into my hands

On the hill where white flowers sway

We made a vow beneath the sky

The day you smiled and said “I’ll return”

Still burns inside my heart

Under the storm of falling shadows

In a battlefield where no voice can reach

I keep on calling out your name

But my prayer is carried by the wind

There is something I would guard with all I have

Until I cut through the fate of ruin

I swear at dawn, my life to you

Even if darkness covers all the sky

The smile of the one I loved

Will guide me on for all of time

Turning my tears into a sword, I fight

A crimson moon lights up the walls

And solitude casts its shadow down

While holding on to shattered dreams

I search for courage to walk again

Even a flame that’s close to dying

Can still become the light for someone

I swore to never let you go

Etching it deep within my soul

Until the day I stand against my fate

I’ll turn my scars into my strength

I swear at dawn, my soul to you

Even if all the stars should fall away

The words we shared, the warmth we knew

Will be the guide toward our future

With you, I can rise beyond despair

“I will not waver”

“I can’t go back now”

“And still we walk toward the light”

I swear at dawn, my life to you

Even if darkness covers all the sky

The smile of the one I loved

Will guide me on for all of time

Turning my tears into a sword, I fight

The dawn wind softly brushes my face

And carries your voice back to me
