Promise me now, 
Promise me always

Even as they strike you down with a myriad of hatred and violence, 
Even as they dismember and destroy you that no man can ever be your enemy.

The only thing worth anything is love; 
Unconditional, invincible, limitless love.

One day when you face this world 
Unburdened by the tyranny of fear and hate and greed 
Your fellow men will behold you.

Across a thousand cycles of living and dying in full bloom 
Your joy will become eternal.

No sun or moon that ever rises, 
will ever see it fade.
