Within temptation-hand of sorrow
The child without a name
Grew up to be the hand
To watch you to shield you
Or kill on demand
The choice he made
He could not comprehend
He's got a grim secret
They had to command
He's torn between his honor
And the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams are broken
And so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved
And had to leave behind
So many years have past
Toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified
The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister crime
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee but the oath made him stay
He's torn between his honor
And the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams are broken
And so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved
And had to leave behind
So many years have past
Toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified
Please forgive me for the sorrow
For leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence
That's all there'll ever be
Still i'll be the hand that saves you
Though you'll not see that it is me
So many dreams are broken
And so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved
And had to leave behind
So many years have past
Toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified
