Eclipsed Promise (Translated lyrics below!)

Описание: #anime #originalsong #openingsong #opening

Imaginary OP theme song for another one of my Japanese light novel styled stories, "Celestial Vow: Requiem of the Duskborn". Words are by me but music is AI generated.

I haven't published the story anywhere but perhaps I will someday.
But you can, if interested, find a short plot summary after the lyrics.


ENGLISH LYRICS:

In the silence between stars, I heard your name
A whisper carved in light, a vow we couldn’t tame
Falling through the echoes of a life we left behind
I reach for you, but time rewinds

Shadows bloom where memories fade
But I still feel the warmth you gave
Even if the sky forgets our flame
I’ll remember

So let the dusk devour the day
I’ll fight through fate, I won’t obey
Even if you turn away
I’ll chase the light you left in me
This bond we forged beyond the pain
Will rise again, will rise again
Eclipsed promise, never broken
Even if we fall
We’ll rise again

I see your eyes behind the storm, they call to me
A prince of dusk, a soul that longs to be set free
The stars are fading, but I won’t let go
I’ll find the truth in what you’ve shown

Even if your name is lost
Even if the lines are crossed
I’ll walk the path we once began
Hand in hand

So let the dusk devour the day
I’ll fight through fate, I won’t obey
Even if you turn away
I’ll chase the light you left in me
This bond we forged beyond the pain
Will rise again, will rise again
Eclipsed promise, never broken
Even if we fall
We’ll rise again

Time may shatter, stars may die
But love will echo through the sky
In every life, in every breath
I’ll find you
I’ll find you

So let the dusk devour the day
I’ll fight through fate, I won’t obey
Even if you turn away
I’ll chase the light you left in me
This bond we forged beyond the pain
Will rise again, will rise again
Eclipsed promise, never broken
Even if we fall
We’ll rise again
We’ll rise again

"At the age of fifteen, Sakura Minazuki is chosen by the mysterious Astralis Grimoire to become Celestial Vow, a guardian who must seal away the corrupted spirits of the Duskborn, a faction that once attempted to steal the divine light of the cosmos.
Unknown to her, her childhood friend, Haruto Shindou, begins suffering from visions of a past life as Ephiros, a fallen celestial warrior who once served the Duskborn. Now, with each battle Sakura fights, Ephiros’s soul stirs, drawing Haruto closer to his former allegiance.
As Sakura’s feelings for Haruto deepen, she must make an impossible choice: Seal away Ephiros’s lingering essence, even if it means erasing Haruto’s memories of her, or risk losing him to the darkness once more."
