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'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 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 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 our sins be justified
