Inspired by the Shadowhunter world by Cassandra Clare.
"Entreat me not to leave thee,
Or return from following after thee—for whither thou goest, I will go,
And where thou lodgest, I will lodge.
Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried.
The Angel do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me." - the parabatai oath
Dedicated to my real life parabatai <3
lyrics
Wherever you go
I will follow
Whenever you die
I will die, too
And there will I be buried
And there will I be left
I chose you for strength
You’re my armor
Forever the same
With love like a brother
And you will never waver
And I will never leave
Oh parabatai
You’re the sun in my night sky
I’ll save you from demons
Inside and out
The angel do so to me
I’ll save you you’ll save me
And now only death
can part
You will always hold my heart
You know what to say
Without saying anything
And you keep me sane
Grounded through everything
And we will stay together
And we can never part
Oh parabatai
You’re the sun in my night sky
I’ll save you from demons
Inside and out
The angel do so to me
I’ll save you you’ll save me
And now only death
can part
You will always hold my heart
You saw me in black
You loved me through white
You held me through red
And gave me my sight
Whenever we’re touched
By gold and by love
I hope that we stay
As we are
All I can say
All that I know
If you left me today
I wouldn’t know where to go
So don’t go
