Promises Sealed In Blood
Promises Sealed in Blood: Love's Oath, Heartbreak, and Redemption
Lyrics
I wake up poised against the morning
I wake up ready to face the beginning of the day
There's nowhere I would rather be
I prefer being nowhere else
I'm gonna have to face the day
I have to confront what the day brings
But as I look towards the evening
As I think about the end of the day
Then I remember everything
I recall everything that happened before
Again
Repetition of the remembrance
The promises sealed in blood
Commitments made with strong dedication
Broken and torn apart
Those commitments have been damaged and separated
Like sipping from the bitter cup
Similar to experiencing something unpleasant
We took an oath and made a cut
We made a vow and physically marked it
It's the things we do for love
Actions driven by love
This owner of a lonely heart
Feels like being the sole possessor of a desolate heart
You are always gonna be a star
You will always remain remarkable
But this is gonna leave a scar
However, this situation will result in lasting pain
There's no honour in giving up
No dignity in giving up on those committed vows
On promises sealed in blood
Returning to the theme of dedicated commitments
We were lovers, now we're strangers
We used to be intimately involved, but now we're distant
I don't know why I keep holding on
I'm unsure why I still cling to the past
It's never gonna change a thing
Clutching onto the past won't alter the present
I saw you there down by the water
I observed you near the water
Then I remembered everything
Recollection of past events triggered by seeing you
Again
Repeating the act of remembering
Oh, oh
Reiterated expression of emotion
