Prodigal Son lyrics

[Part I - Funerale]

Essence of beauty

Taken too soon

Princess of hope

Deep in our hearts you live on

Essence of goodness

Goddess of life

Give us the power/Give us a reason

God give us strength to live on

Essence of beauty

Taken too soon

Princess of hope

Deep in our hearts you live on

Essence of goodness

Goddess of life

Give us the power/Give us a reason

God give us strength to live on

[Part II - Burden of Shame]

How could this happen?

Of what have we done?

Will our tears ever pay for our sin?

Mother forgive us

We need all your love

To fight and to carry

The burden of shame

(The branding)

Hereby we swear

For as long as we live

We will not soil our name

The truth made of iron

Will seal it with pain

Until death our secret remains

[Part III - The Journey]

A minute away but worlds/oceans apart

Brothers in blood now divided in heart

By grief and sorrow one is striving

To repay

Behind the palisade he lives his destined life

The music and the tears are piercing

Through the walls

Turn to nightmare and there is no escape at all

Oh joyful childhood you died so young...

Every child follows blind

On the journey we call life

Learning everyday

(Learning with every step)

Given love or given hate

Determines everybody's fate in life

Be careful what you give...

A stranger to love and affection

On the run

In search of shelter in the solitude of sin

A drifter in the dark a soldier

Of pain

A constant slave under the belt of misery

Oh joyful childhood you died so young...

Every child follows blind

On the journey we call life

Learning everyday

(Learning with every step)

Given love or given hate

Determines everybody's fate in life

Be careful what you give...
