When the tide is low, come visit me.
When the sea gets hideous, find a haven.
When you are having a hard time, entrust your concerns here,
because I'm not going down before you can fight for yourself.

It's our little promise, something we made to each other long ago.
I am to protect, and you are to be protected.
Cause and effect, giving and receiving, in and out.
And just like that, the parity is conserved.

But one day I'll be gone, and you'll be left alone.
Will you still be able to smile like you're doing now?
When I'm no longer there to steer the boat in the storm,
will you still remain calm like you always do?

You always ask tons of questions,
and I can give an answer to each of them.
But when your curiosity exceeds my wits,
who will be there to dispel your doubt?

I have been a knight since I was born,
and you are the lord I made my pledge to.
I never ask for anything in return,
because your presence alone keeps my faith alive.

I am proud that I never lost a duel,
and kept your honor unblemished.
But one day when I get old and defeated,
will I be forsaken and forgotten?

But even so, I have no regrets,
since I cannot manipulate my own end.
I always prepare for the worst outcome,
and hope for the best result.

When you are in danger if I'm not there,
please don't panic or fear.
For I will become a guardian spirit,
forever watching over you in my afterlife.
