The Oath
There’s a wildness in you
Burning like the desert sand
It taints a man’s blood
A fierce promise in your eyes
More glorious than sunset over the mountain
It defies me to say ‘no’
But that’s the only answer
I can offer
For I’ve taken an oath
And I must live it
For honor – for fidelity
Let passion perish
