Your oath, once given, now is past recall. Remember who it is you swore to serve. The god will catch you. Otherwise, you’ll fall.
Old kings of Eddis ruled from their bright hall. The thieves were kept in shadow, in reserve. Their oath, once given, was past all recall.
My grandfather, the cleverest of all, With nimble fingers, never lacked for nerve. The god dropped him, and what could he do but fall?
My mother pilfered jewels at every ball Danced on the roof with no one to observe But Him. Her oath un-sworn, she’s past recall.
And I--ran headlong straight into a wall. In darkness prayed, “Is this what I deserve?” But in the end, I flew. I didn’t fall.
For you, it is a steeper learning curve. You’ve pledged your heart. It’s not your way to swerve. Your oath, once given, now is past recall. The god will catch you. Otherwise, you’ll fall.
