Autumn Aelwyd I absolutely adore this! I had been looking for a song about the Unbreakable Vow for my book by book wizard rock playlist for a few months. I had come across a couple, but they were pretty cingeworthy and this wasn't up until December. It's so perfect and hauntingly beautiful. I made a video for it on YouTube and linked back here to your BandCamp. I hope that's okay. Thank you for making this gorgeous song available. youtu.be/EbilDQHhihI

about

Snape makes the same promise to two different people for very different reasons.

lyrics

Figures huddle in the rain
A pale face awash with pain
Your sister mocks you for your desperation

Bated breath constricts your chest
You’ve come to me with one request
To spare your son humiliation

For you know I’ll stay
And I’ll find a way
To protect him somehow
But what I cannot say
Is I’ve already made
One unbreakable vow

Filaments of silver charm
Climb like cobwebs up my arm
Our fates forever intertwined

Like the other vow I’ve made
The ransom for your son is paid
With my blood this time

For you know I’ll stay
And I’ll find a way
To protect him somehow
But what I cannot say
Is I’ve already made
One unbreakable vow

Too many promises to keep
Too many miles to go before I sleep
And even if this plan succeeds
Someday soon
It will be me who bleeds

And I hope someday
They will find a way
To forgive me somehow
For though I want to escape
I cannot forsake
This unbreakable vow

(refrain)
