Promises I Keep

This song is about the OCs for the fanfic "Bloodborne" that my mom and I have been working on. The information about the Fanfic is in the playlist and I can answer any questions you have involving it. The story being told in this song is about Raven, the leader of Team Bloodborne, witnessing her soulmates; Gajeel, Laxus and Sasha; barely hanging on during a serious battle to save the world that Fairy Tail is involved in. After witnessing so much death through her years, Raven is vowing to protect her kin as much as possible. This is the final part of the battle vows. Hope you all enjoy! I do not own Fairy Tail at all, just the OCs! Lyrics: [Intro] [Verse] The soil is drinking heavily tonight Smoke is crawling through the broken light I see your shadows leaning near the edge Fading like a prayer on a limestone ledge Steel and bone are grinding in the dust Living on a prayer and a thin blade of trust [Verse] Gajeel is choking on the iron air Laxus is burning with a jagged flare Sasha is shivering where the tall grass dies I see the hollow hunger in their eyes The field is hungry for the names I know While the cold winds of the slaughter blow [Chorus] Hold your breath against the closing gate Tear the pages from the hands of fate Don't you slip into the silent deep These are promises I mean to keep I will drag the sun back from the black I will carry every burden on my back I will save us from the final breath I will stand between your soul and death [Instrumental] [Bridge] The sky is turning to a sheet of lead Counting every drop of red we shed Your hearts are drumming like a frantic bell Ringing from the very throat of hell But the fire in my veins is turning gold Against the story that the stars have told [Verse] I see the grit beneath your bleeding nails The way the courage in your spirit pales The war is biting through the winter coat A jagged blade against a weary throat But I am waking up from the frozen sleep With a mountain of a vow to keep [Pre-Chorus] Look at me while the horizon breaks Measure every single thing it takes The tide is turning into the crimson mud Written in the ink of kin and blood [Chorus] Hold your breath against the closing gate Tear the pages from the hands of fate Don't you slip into the silent deep These are promises I mean to keep I will drag the sun back from the black I will carry every burden on my back I will save us from the final breath I will stand between your soul and death [Instrumental] Mavis; Hear my voice, hear my vows Protect my loves… Don't let them slip into the silent deep For these are promises I vow to keep I will drag the sun back from the black I will carry every burden on my back I will save us from the final breath I will be the one to stand between your soul and death So we can all live to be together again
