Within Temptation - Hand Of Sorrow (Live)

The child without a name Grew up to be the hand 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 saves 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? Will all our sins be justified?..
