I set out to the calling of destiny
A journey from which I must embark
I'm sorry mother, I couldn't bear to say goodbye
For the tears that flows from your eyes will drown me if I looked back

Weep not, dearest mother!
For this path I must thread and this cause I cannot decline
I promise to return home when all is over
Into the bosom of you rest
For I must return the debt of love I owe you

My soul drenched in heaviness
My heart beats harder each step as away from you
You've been my light but now I step into the shadows of darkness
Promise you'll wait till I return

Promise mine will be the last voice you'll hear
That I'll be there when your eyes shut into eternal darkness
Promise it is me you'll give your las smile when you slip into the horizon beyond

Promise me, mother!
That you will wait even if I'm late
That you won't break down if I returned resting in peace
Promise you will not weep if I was carried back to you

Your Son💗💗💘
