Hand of Sorrow

Within temptation

To watch you, to shield you or kill on demand
The choice he'd made he could not comprehend
His blood 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 were broken
and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved
and had to leave behind?
So many years have past,
who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?


The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister price
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 were broken
and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved
and had to leave behind?
So many years have past,
who are the noble and the wise?
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 they'll ever be
Still I'll be the hand that serves you
Though you'll not see that it is me



So many dreams were broken
and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved
and had to leave behind?
So many years have past,
who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?
