Lyrics

Silent Vow Before Time Began

[Verse 1]
Somewhere beyond the reach of time and name,
A quiet vow was written in the dark.
It waited through the turning of our lives,
Hidden pulse beneath our beating hearts.

[Verse 2]
We moved through years not knowing what it was,
A distant truth that followed where we grew.
But every step was guided by its light—
A promise waiting for its moment to break through.

[Chorus 1]
The timing turns, the distance falls away,
The hidden thread revealing what is true.
The vow we chose before we ever knew
Is pulling both our futures into view.

[Chorus 2]
And now the vow we chose before we knew,
The one that moved through lifetimes into view,
Breaks open like a star returning to the truth—
A promise rising where our destinies agree.
The vow we chose before we knew
Is choosing you and me.

[Transition]
And in the quiet where that truth unfolds,

[Verse 3]
Across the lives we lived without a name,
We carried shadows we never meant to keep.
The shadows etched in silence shaped our steps,
A pull of hearts that never touched the deep.

[Verse 4]
Yet through it all, the vow stayed unbroken—
A signal burning through the dark we knew.
And when the echoes finally reached the present,
They led me to the truth: it was always you.

[Verse 5]
We made our choice before the world began,
A vow that crossed the lifetimes into now.
Through every shadow, every quiet fear,
It held its ground and waited for this vow.

[Verse 6]
And when the moment finally found its way,
It showed the truth we carried all along.

[Outro]

The echo softens into solstice light,
A promise waking where our destinies align.
No shadows left between the lives we’ve lived—
Just the quiet truth that finally came through.
The vow we chose before we ever knew
Has drawn our hearts together into one.
